Vitenam: Intertek Opens New Apparel and Textiles Testing Laboratory in Hanoi

Intertek, a leading provider of quality and safety services to a wide range of industries around the world has opened new apparel and textiles testing laboratory in Hanoi to support the growing textile and garment industry in the northern part of Vietnam.

The new Intertek facility, spread over an area of 6,000 square feet, is fully equipped with state-of-the-art equipment combined with highly qualified engineers and chemists to provide reliable quality and safety solutions. The new lab performs textile testing for dimensional stability, color fastness and seam strength among others. The lab also supports full testing capabilities to the US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) requirements and restricted substances regulations.

The strategic location is a major advantage to Intertek's customers as it helps to not only reduce travel time for samples to be tested but also significantly improves the spin time of producing testing reports as a whole.

The Hanoi apparel testing laboratory is the most recent addition to Intertek's global network of 45 textile and footwear laboratories that offers testing services to fabric, apparel, fashion accessory, home textile and footwear retailers, brands and manufacturers. In addition to testing, Intertek offers the following services for textile, footwear and apparel customers: chemical management, inspections, certification, auditing, safety and compliance training, outsourcing and advisory, quality assurance and risk management.
