To verify wool quality and quantity on consignments of tops and sliver, SGS provides buyers with test reports and certificates to International Wool Textile Organization (IWTO) standards.
Test requirements often include:
We can also provide wool measurements on properties such as color, evenness and fiber strength. In addition, we offer specialized testing for conformity assessment on wool tops and polyester-wool blend tops.
While independent testing has been generally uncommon in the industry in the past – primarily because sampling is best undertaken throughout production, demanding extended independent supervision – it is now becoming more common, and is routinely required for specific countries (e.g. Iran).
If you need independent sampling and testing of wool tops and sliver, contact SGS now.
