Application for Textile Apparel Industry

Qinsunlab offers apparel testing services for all categories of clothing, footwear, sleepwear, outerwear, hosiery, leather goods, accessories and more, including:
Textile Testing: In a competitive industry full of complex regulations, it is imperative for manufacturers, retailers, importers and distributors to proactively evaluate textiles to ensure they are producing the highest quality apparel from the ground up for demanding consumers. Ensuring textile quality and composition from the start results in long-wearing apparel that stands the test of time.
Footwear Testing: With thousands of choices available, footwear needs to not only be stylish, but also consistently well-made and free of hazardous substances to foster consumer brand loyalty. Qinsunlab labs are strategically located to test all materials and components of footwear, regardless of where the product is sourced.
Textile Testing
In response to ever-changing governmental regulations and the ever-increasing consumer demand for high quality, testing and textile testing help to minimize risk and protect the interest of both manufacturers and consumers.
Fiber Identification - Most countries importing apparel and soft home furnishing products require fiber identification labels indicating the fiber type and percentage of fiber components. Some countries even use fiber composition to classify quota categories.
Feather and Down Testing - Qinsunlab offers special feather and down testing for quantitative analysis, filling power, thermal properties, migration, and penetration resistance. 
Many countries have mandatory or voluntary standards for care label instructions applicable to textile and apparel. Qinsunlab conducts the following tests to determine the most appropriate consumer care conditions for the tested products:
Colorfastness to washing, bleaching, and dry cleaning 
Dimensional stability, appearance retention, and ironing
Performance Testing - Qinsunlab offers a variety of tests meeting specific performance standards related to consumer end use of textile products, including: 
Dimensional Stability to Washing and Dry cleaning 
Colorfastness to Light, Crocking (Rubbing), Washing, Bleaching 
Physical tests - Strength, Abrasion, Pilling Resistance 
Chemical Tests - Finish Analysis and pH
Flammability Testing - It is critical that materials used in apparel are in compliance with flammability regulations. IThermal and Water Vapor Resistance Testing - Using a “sweating guarded hotplate,” Qinsunlab tests for Thermal Resistance (Rct) and Water Vapor Resistance (Ret) according to ISO 11092, EN 31092 and ASTM F1898 standards. Thermal resistance testing ensures reduction of heat transfer in garments, while water vapor resistance testing indicates sweat-friendly clothing that allows water vapors to pass through fabric and evaporate quickly for comfort. These tests can be performed on fabrics, films, coatings, foams and leather, including multilevel assemblies, for use in clothing, quilts, sleeping bags, upholstery, and similar products.
