General Quality Test
General Quality Test evaluates generally required characteristics of textiles such as general physical properties and color fastness. Through testing its wash fastness, tensile strength, peeling test, etc., KOTITI ensures the quality of products that are to be supplied to consumers.
Hazardous Substances Test
As technology advances and variety of products are being developed, management of hazardous substances in textile products is getting more and more important. Since exposure to hazardous substances can be fatal, especially to the vulnerable users like children, tight regulations on hazardous substances are becoming a global trend. We, therefore, conducts related test based on our superior human resources and test equipments.
Functionality Test
As the production of outdoor products increased in accordance with the increment of leisure activities, interest in specific functionality such as quick drying and warmth have been raised. KOTITI, here by, provides functionality test services for various textile products.

Quality Labeling Verification Test
- Quality labeling on textile products is regulated by each government so that it can be safely sold and used in the market. KOTITI conducts Quality Labeling Verification Tests for both domestic and export products.
- Available tests: overall tests related to the quality labeling.
Fiber analysis, Care instruction(hand/machine/drycleaning), Bleaching, Ironing method, Drying method(naturally/mechanically)
Quality Test for Domestic and Exported Products (South Korea, China, USA, Japan , EU, etc. )
- Fabric and subsidiary materials
- Bulk delivery products distributed to department stores or marts
- Functionality of textile products
KOLAS Test
KOLAS (Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme), the approval organization in Korea, joined APLAC (Asia-Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation) and ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation) so that MRA (Mutual Recognition Arrangement) is valid. Therefore, KOLAS' report of test results can be used as an internationally-authorized report of test results.
