More laboratories achieve high standard

Another nine laboratories have recently been added to the extensive list of SATRA-accredited facilities around the world. These are:

• Colence International Pvt Ltd (India)
• Coronation Premium Manufacturing (Philippines)
• HELCOR LEDER-TEC GmbH (Germany)
• Kaoway Sports Ltd (Cambodia)
• Recticel Manufacturing (UK)
• Sara Suole Pvt Ltd (India)
• Shoe Premier II (Cambodia) Co Ltd (Cambodia)
• Wenzhou Yimaida Shoes Co Ltd (China)
• Yantai Aucan Footwear Co Ltd (China)

There are currently 194 laboratories that have been accredited by SATRA. In order to achieve this distinction, the facilities have to undergo a rigorous auditing process, based on the ability to test to specific methods and standards. An in-house laboratory must be well controlled with clearly defined responsibilities. Its quality system, equipment, environment and members of staff need to prove to be of a very high standard. Regular SATRA audits ensure an ongoing commitment.

The SATRA Accredited Laboratory programme is recognised throughout the global footwear and leathergoods industries as an authoritative stamp of quality between business partners. It is effective throughout the supply chain all the way down to retailers and consumers.
