For some categories and markets, testing is mandatory, but in any case, protecting the interests and safety of the consumer is vital. Intertek offers a variety of innovative services, including testing, certification, and quality assurance.
The strength of strap fastenings is an important consideration in the quality assessment of handbags. Intertek is able to carry out all strength tests utilizing state-of-the-art equipment to assess the risk of strap failures whether at fastenings (e.g., buckles) or where the strap is attached to the body of the item itself.
In addition, a full range of color fastness tests, water spotting tests and other accessories tests, can be performed to assess the risk of color transfer to clothing and possible blistering when exposed to water.
From an assessment of the components of a belt for labeling purposes, color fastness (e.g., wet and dry rub fastness) to tarnishing of buckles and metal components, Intertek can test to all clients’ requirements to ensure the products are “fit for purpose.”
Intertek also provides the following solutions for accessories:
