R&D

We are aware of the importance of R&D which is the most fundamental requirement of economic growth besides continuous development. Accordingly, we established the first R&D and Quality Control Laboratory of Turkey in Protective Clothing Industry. The laboratory consists of two separate departments where the heat and physical tests are held. The raw materials (fabrics, accessories etc.) and finished products (protective garments) are tested in heat and physical test laboratories accordance to EN and ISO standards. New products are developed as a result of the tests and all controls are performed before CE certification. These controls enhance product reliability and expedite required processes.

Tested listed below are performed in our laboratories:

  • TS EN ISO 15025 Experiment method for limited fire spreading (Limited Fire Spreading (A))
  • TS EN 367 Determination method for heat transmission in flame (Heat transmission with flame (B))
  • TS EN ISO 6942 Evaluation of materials and material combinations that are exposed to heat sources that spread by radiance (Radian heat transmission (C))
  • TS EN ISO 13934-1 Determination of biggest force and extending along under the biggest force by strip method (ultimate tensile stress determination)
