Concept of Textile Testing
Textile product testing is a comprehensive evaluation activity of safety, quality, and standard conformity of fabrics, yarns, and apparel products. This process includes physical-mechanical testing, chemical testing, color fastness, chemical safety, and many other specific criteria.
Currently, to ensure reliability and legal validity, most businesses choose to conduct testing at VNTEST – Analysis & Testing Center, meeting ISO/IEC 17025, specializing in textiles – leather – footwear – consumer chemicals.

In addition to mandatory standards, depending on the product line, businesses can also refer to standards such as:
- TCVN on textiles – physical-mechanical – chemical
- EU, US, Japan standards if products are intended for export
- Specific requirements of partners, brands, distributors
VNTEST provides free consultation to help select suitable criteria for each product, helping businesses optimize costs while remaining compliant with the law.
