Seminar information Essentials of Textile Technology, Quality and Testing This seminar aims to give all personnel involved in the sourcing and quality of textile products an understanding of the basics of fabric production and its relation to quality. The course will also explain the reasons for and processes of textile testing. The course provides an overview of the different types of natural, man-made and synthetic fibres in common use, explain how they are made into yarns and how they are manufactured into woven, weft and warp knitted fabrics. This seminar should provide attendees with a good understanding of how the different qualities of each fibre and fabric combination play an important part in the end use of the product. We will also go through the textile testing terminology, explain how tests are performed and how to analyse and interpret the results. The seminar will also provide a basic overview of the legal obligations of those in the supply chain and methods to implement this, including due diligence. The day includes a tour of the softlines laboratory with demonstrations of tests. Toy Safety in Europe This seminar will take you through the legal minefield of toy safety.

There will be ample opportunity for discussion and questions & answers with our experienced team of toy consultants.
