The facility is fully equipped to provide comprehensive textile, apparel and home furnishing testing services. For businesses that partner with TÜV SÜD, the benefits are manifold; TÜV SÜD will be able to assist manufacturers in improving production processes, optimising costs and reducing risks and defects by ensuring their products' compliance with the guidelines.
