More laboratories gain SATRA accreditation

The list of laboratories around the world that have gained SATRA accreditation is continuing to grow. SATRA’s laboratory accreditation recognises that testing plays a vital role in the control of product quality and that in-house test facilities are seen as a smart move by modern manufacturers. A SATRA accredited laboratory certificate has proved to be a major selling point in helping to attract and retain customer orders.

The SATRA accredited laboratory programme is recognised throughout the global footwear and leathergoods industries as a stamp of quality between parties doing business together down the supply chain, to retail and the consumer. As an example, manufacturers and material suppliers benefit from being able to present meaningful and accurate test data, and resourcing companies benefit from a more reliable evaluation of products and general improvement in quality and fitness-for-purpose.
