The new standard, ASTM 3340-18 now provides thermal resistance values for insulation against the cold that a camping mattress offers to the user. AITEX has added this new test to its portfolio of services this year.

This article discusses AITEX’s experience during the turbulent key months of the pandemic. The entire AITEX team worked tirelessly, 24/7, to focus its efforts and energy to the service of the Spanish textile industry, public administration and society.

In the last year, there has been a 525% increase in the number of consumers demanding products with OEKO-TEX® certification, which has issued 24,205 certificates and labels guaranteeing that production processes and methods are approved by accredited bodies.

AITEX currently carries out both laboratory and on-site testing. All tests are accredited for quality assurance.

AITEX offers its clients the most innovative equipment enabling a fabric to be assessed to predict the perception of comfort of the fabric, from the design of the product, manufacturing quality, the final product and consumer satisfactions, while providing a rapid response to our clients.

AITEX can perform different tests to determine the origin of each type of cotton: tests to determine GMOs, control of harmful substances (pesticides, dyestuffs, etc.) and physical-mechanical quality controls; the Institute also has vast experience in advising companies on certification

AITEX is one of eight worldwide FIFA-approved laboratories for the approval of artificial turf football pitches.

For a product to be considered “sustainable”, certain requirements must be met, ranging from the raw materials and manufacturing processes to the production chain.

In response to the needs and challenges that this change represents for the textile sector, AITEX has created a Technical Unit for Sustainability and Circular Economy that will work transversally along three lines of action: R+D, Laboratories and Training.

AITEX will attend the twenty-second International Safety Fair over the 25th and 28th of February in Madrid. Pay us a visit in Hall 3, Stand E05.
