Expert testing services for luggage & bags

We offer a comprehensive range of testing services to verify the performance, compliance, and longevity of luggage and bags. Our services include:​

Physical performance testing

  • Handle Strength: Assessing the durability of handles under stress to prevent detachment during use.​
  • Drop Test: Simulating impacts to evaluate the bag's ability to protect contents during falls.​
  • Wheel/Roller Endurance: Testing the longevity and performance of wheels under prolonged use.​
  • Zipper and Fastener Strength: Ensuring zippers and fasteners can withstand repeated use without failure.​

Material testing:

  • Tensile and Tear Strength: Measuring the fabric's resistance to pulling and tearing forces.​
  • Abrasion Resistance: Evaluating how materials hold up against wear and friction over time.​
  • Colorfastness: Testing the material's resistance to fading or bleeding under various conditions.​

Chemical safety testing:

  • Restricted Substances: Analysing for harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, heavy metals (e.g., lead, cadmium), phthalates, and azo dyes to comply with regulations like REACH and CPSIA.​
  • Allergen Testing: Identifying potential allergens to ensure consumer safety.

Component testing:

  • Buckles and Fastenings: Assessing the strength and durability of buckles, clasps, and other fastenings to prevent breakage.
  • Strap Attachments: Evaluating the security of straps where they attach to the bag body to prevent detachment.​

Environmental testing:

  • Corrosion Resistance: Testing metal components for resistance to rust and tarnishing under various environmental conditions.​
  • Climate Conditioning: Exposing products to different temperature and humidity levels to assess performance in diverse climates.
