Annual Schedule

Round robin tests conducted regularly are an important monitoring tool both for a certified quality assurance system and for in-house solutions. In particular, round robin tests with international participation are becoming increasingly important with the advance of globalisation. Round robin tests help to bring to light systematic sources of error and can give rise to the necessary corrective action.
The benefits in brief:
- increases confidence in the test results and their informative value
- builds confidence vis-à-vis customers and suppliers
- cost savings due to fewer tests
- supports the in-house quality assurance system
We have organised round robin tests for many years in the fields of yarn, colour fastness, fabric properties and function, and have been accredited under ISO 17043 since 2011.
The annual schedule with the current status and the next dispatch dates for all round robin tests can be found under Downloads.
