SGS – TRAIL BLAZERS FOR THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY

The burning behaviour of textiles, whether for nightwear, day wear or furnishings, such as bedding, upholstery, curtains and carpets, is an important aspect of consumer safety and in many cases regulated here in the UK and other European countries. SGS’s laboratory in Leicester, UK, is accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) to conduct numerous flammability tests according to British, European and ISO standard methods, making it a leader in the field of testing the burning behaviour of textiles and related products. Amongst the parameters measured are rate of flame spread and ease of ignition; two vital areas of burning behaviour if the risk to consumers is to be properly assessed.
