Tests

Our Laboratory began operating in 2009 in response to the growth of the national textile industry and the new demands for product quality assurance. We are a young group, with technical know-how and a lot of dedication. We are located in the heart of the Portuguese textile industry with excellent road access, in a recently built facility measuring approximately 350 m2 and equipped with the latest technical equipment. Our Laboratory has grown at a double-digit annual rate in recent years, with our portfolio of national and international clients comprising over 400 companies.

Today, we perform tests on products ranging from fiber to final product in different sectors of the textile industry, such as clothing (clothing, socks and accessories), recycling, spinning, weaving, dyeing, printing, embroidery, laundries, home textiles, the automotive and furniture industries.

We seek to establish a close relationship with our customers in order to optimize the workflow and guarantee the highest quality at the most competitive prices. We combine highly qualified human resources with the most advanced technologies and equipment to provide a quality, fast, impartial and completely confidential service. In order to meet all our customers’ needs and provide an excellent service, we have established partnerships with some of the most prestigious international laboratories. In a single laboratory, you can find all textile quality control and defect analysis services.

It is not always easy to determine which is the best textile laboratory that ensures a quality service and understands the specific needs of each client. There are a set of essential characteristics that you should always take into account when requesting textile testing. Therefore, be careful when deciding which laboratory to use:

• Find out whether the laboratory meets all the technical requirements that guarantee the quality of the services provided, namely compliance with the NP EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard;
• Make sure that the laboratory performs textile tests in accordance with the established standards and with the requirements of the clients;
• Ensure that the tests are carried out in a rigorous, impartial and unbiased manner;
• Ask the laboratory managers about the experience of their employees: make sure that the team has the necessary skills to carry out excellent work, always in confidentiality;
• Ask how the laboratories measure their technical performance and value the quality of the service: a team that is always available to listen to you is a team that is always available to help you.

QualityLab is accredited by IPAC according to the NP EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard.
