Performance Testing

As technology continues to advance, so too does the development of new innovative products, which require new testing methods to determine their marketing claims.

Beyond traditional physical testing, Eurofins has developed footwear and textile performance tests to determine the performance and delivery of a product's special claims.

We offer performance testing services to validate products’ special properties to ensure they meet consumers’ expectations for qualities such as:
