Screening of carcinogenic aromatic amines
The screening of carcinogenic aromatic amines is an essential service in textile testing aimed at ensuring product safety and compliance with international standards. This service focuses on identifying the presence of aromatic amines that are known to be carcinogens, such as those listed under Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
The primary goal is to prevent the unintentional exposure of consumers and workers to substances that have been proven to cause cancer. This service plays a crucial role in safeguarding public health, especially for products like clothing, footwear, and home textiles that are in close contact with human skin.
Our laboratory uses advanced analytical techniques such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) equipped with fluorescence detection to screen textile samples. This method is highly sensitive and specific, allowing us to detect even trace levels of aromatic amines down to the nanogram per gram level.
The testing process begins with careful sample preparation, which includes mechanical treatment to simulate real-world conditions such as washing or dry cleaning. The prepared samples are then subjected to rigorous analysis using state-of-the-art instruments. The results are compared against international standards such as ISO 14362-1 and ISO 17085 to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Our laboratory is equipped with expertise in chemical testing, ensuring that we can provide accurate and reliable results for our clients. We adhere strictly to the guidelines set forth by international standards to deliver consistent and reproducible outcomes. This commitment to quality ensures that our clients can trust us to protect their consumers from potentially harmful substances.
The importance of this service cannot be overstated, especially in a world where consumer safety is paramount. By offering this screening service, we contribute significantly to the reduction of health risks associated with textile products. This aligns perfectly with the broader goals of sustainability and responsible manufacturing practices within the textile industry.

Our rigorous quality control measures are designed to meet and exceed industry expectations, ensuring that clients can rely on us for accurate and trustworthy test results.
By adhering to these stringent protocols, we not only uphold the highest standards of professionalism but also contribute significantly to maintaining public health and safety in the textile industry. Our focus on quality and reliability is a testament to our commitment to providing exceptional service and support to our clients.
Environmental and Sustainability Contributions
The screening of carcinogenic aromatic amines plays a crucial role in promoting environmental sustainability within the textile industry. By identifying and eliminating potentially harmful substances from production processes, we contribute to reducing the overall impact on the environment.
This service helps manufacturers comply with strict regulatory requirements, thereby minimizing their ecological footprint. Through our testing procedures, we help prevent the release of hazardous chemicals into the atmosphere during manufacturing and use phases. This not only protects human health but also supports sustainable practices that benefit the planet as a whole.
Our efforts in this area align perfectly with global sustainability goals, such as those outlined by the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By focusing on reducing the presence of carcinogenic aromatic amines, we contribute to Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. This goal emphasizes the importance of sustainable consumption patterns and responsible production processes.
We believe that every step taken towards improving product safety contributes to creating a more sustainable future. Our commitment to environmental responsibility is further demonstrated through our use of eco-friendly testing methods and facilities, which minimize waste generation and energy consumption.
By offering this service, we not only enhance the quality and safety of textile products but also play an active role in promoting sustainability within the industry. This aligns with our broader mission to contribute positively to society while ensuring that our clients remain compliant with regulatory standards.
