Chemical and Ecological Testing
category
Chemical and ecological testing evaluates the presence, concentration, and environmental impact of hazardous substances in textile materials including heavy metals, pesticides, dyes, finishing auxiliaries, and microplastics using chromatographic, spectroscopic, and ecotoxicological methods across fibre, yarn, fabric, and finished product matrices.
Role
Ensures textile products meet global chemical safety regulations, environmental compliance frameworks, and sustainability certification standards by quantifying restricted substance concentrations and ecological hazard potential across the full textile supply chain from raw fibre to consumer product.
