Some chemicals used in textile production can be harmful to humans and the environment. Their use is partly regulated by law and is also the focus of NGOs and consumer protection groups. To help you comply with international standards, legal requirements and individual requirements of Restricted Substance Lists (RSL) or Manufactured Restricted Substance Lists (MRSL) , Hohenstein offers you a broad spectrum of chemical tests for the qualitative and quantitative determination of harmful substances in textiles, leather articles and chemicals.

Testing for harmful substances is possible for raw materials, intermediate and end products at all stages of processing along the value chain, including chemicals for use in production. The testing service includes both the monitoring of legal conformity and the neutral assessment of product safety that goes beyond this. On the one hand, this serves operational quality assurance and optimisation and, on the other hand, contributes to the avoidance of product recalls.
