The facility will perform testing for dimensional stability, colourfastness and seam strength, among others. The lab also supports full testing capabilities to US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) requirements and restricted substances regulations.
Thanh Nam Nguyen, general manager for softlines, hardlines and toys business lines, said: “The addition of the Hanoi facility aligns with Intertek’s effort to provide a local presence for our customers, wherever their business operations are located. This provides a distinct competitive advantage in an industry where getting safe and high-quality products to market is imperative for success.”
The lab is the most recent addition to Intertek’s network of 45 textile and footwear laboratories.
