Screening of banned colourants in school uniform fabrics

The screening of banned colourants in school uniform fabrics is a critical service that ensures compliance with international standards and local regulations. This testing method aims to identify the presence of hazardous materials, such as heavy metals and azo dyes, which can be harmful if not controlled properly. The demand for this service has grown significantly due to increasing awareness about the health and safety risks associated with textiles containing banned colourants.

Our state-of-the-art laboratory uses advanced analytical techniques like Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for heavy metal analysis, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to screen azo dyes. These methods allow us to provide accurate results that are traceable to international standards such as ISO 14362 for azo dyes.

The process begins with the receipt of fabric samples, followed by meticulous preparation and conditioning according to prescribed protocols. Our experts then perform rigorous analysis using our cutting-edge equipment. After completing these tests, we generate detailed reports that are easily understandable by stakeholders involved in compliance management or product development.

Accurate identification of banned colourants is essential for maintaining high standards within the textile industry. By offering this service, we contribute to protecting children's health and safety while supporting educational institutions' reputation as responsible corporate citizens.
