Advantages
Guaranteed hygienically inoffensive and skin-tolerant.
Security on the highest level.
Effect-related testing methods
The testing method of the Society for the Promotion of Skin-Tolerant Textiles simulates a real wearing situation and tests the skin tolerance of all substances which in practice could cross over from the textile onto the skin.
This effect-related approach distinguishes the test of the Society for the Promotion of Skin-Tolerant Textiles from all other practiced testing methods which simply test the compliance of defined limits for single substances.
Strictest testing and evaluation criterias
The effect-related skin tolerance test is additionally combined with a limit oriented toxin test. Thereby the test method of the Society for the Promotion of Skin-Tolerant Textiles provides the strictest known skin tolerance standard for textiles. Materials for medical products are not tested any stricter.
Tests through an independent testing laboratory
The tests are effected by an independent testing laboratory that is accredited and approved by the DAP (German Accreditation System). Therefore the execution and abidance of quality standards is officially tested and confirmed.
Cognition of interactions of various substances
Due to its effect-related testing methodology the skin tolerance test enables the cognition of interactions between various substances. No other testing method provides this.
Tests on the final product
Efficient and effective: the inspection of the final product, just the way it goes over the counter to the consumer. Irrespective of the material mix the testing method of the Society for the Promotion of Skin-Tolerant Textiles provides a significant result-including all used materials.
