At a glance
Performance tests are carried out by SDLABCOMO at its laboratory in Casnate con Bernate (Como, Italy) on technical fabrics, garments, accessories and furnishing materials. We assess water resistance, breathability, water repellency and in-use behaviour to check that an article meets its declared specifications, using the ISO, EN and UNI methods listed in the test 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.
