At a glance
Fibre composition and extraction analyses are performed by SDLABCOMO, a laboratory based in Casnate con Bernate (Como, Italy), on fabrics, yarns, garments and furnishing materials. We identify fibres, quantify their percentages for composition labelling, determine yarn count and measure extractable substances using the ISO, EN and UNI methods shown in the table. The laboratory is Accredia-accredited no. 02344; not every test is necessarily accredited, so check the individual test on the “Accredited tests” page or in the Accredia database. Results in 24-48 hours where technically feasible.
The laboratory performs both accredited and non-accredited tests: the accredited scope can be verified in the official Accredia list.
