Testing Services
Through standardized testing and evaluations ITTS can service many different industries. Offering ASTM, AATCC, ISO, BS EN standardized testing and others.
Many companies today require researching a new product or system through non-standard test protocols or analysis, and we have that background. Our experience with customized testing, product development testing, along with innovative test design, has been a major service we offer to clients worldwide. Since 1970, Independent Textile Testing Service, Inc. (ITTS) has proven itself time and time again to be an unbiased and accurate laboratory for research purposes.
