Remarks
The test items will be adjusted depending on your product type and age range. Only specific test items will be applied to the selected product type, test type and destination market. Detailed test item list will be included in order confirmation email upon purchase.
NO flammability test is included in the package, as the standard to apply is dependent on end-use. If you expect specific product end use and market, please contact us.
Basic physical test package does not include any comment on care labeling. If you are looking for a care instruction development, please consider “Care Label Recommendation” in Washing Tests.
If your garment is composed of white color or indigo dye (which is common for denim), you may want to consider additional Colorfastness Tests for White Color/Indigo Dye. Dye for these color types is especially vulnerable to certain warehouse conditions.
# To save your test budget, the composite test is quoted for chemical testing. Similar materials on the sample will be gathered for analysis. In case any restricted chemical is detected in composite testing, additional individual checking may be required. Applicant will be informed in that case.
For a more comprehensive restricted substance checking, please consider ECO package.
