Flammability Testing

When it comes to flammability testing, there is one category of textiles for which this kind of testing is especially important, and that is textiles in public places. These textiles, if unsafe, may pose a risk of fire hazard for a large number of people at a time, which is why they usually require even more stringent fire testing. Such textile products include bed linens and towels, clothing and curtains, carpets and rugs, furniture coverings and upholstery.

STEMart provides comprehensive flammability testing services to provide inspection reports that meet relevant regulations and international standards, thus proving the quality and safety of textile products.
