    Testing Guide for Restricted Substances in Major Apparel’s Materials & Components

    1. Flexible PVC including Plastisol prints

    2. May be found in stain and soil resistant treatments and water repellent finishes

    3. Rot proofing agent

    4. May be used for dyeing polyester and acetate fibers

    5. Requirements applicable to skin contact items such as jewelry, rivets and metal press fasteners

    6. High risk for PVC coatings

    Key to symbols

    Chemical may be found in indicated substrate Commonly used chemical may be found in indicated substrate

    Remark: This table is not a definitive or exhaustive list of chemicals and their end-uses. It is intended only as a guideline as to the most likely substrates in which some of the commonest restricted substances may occur. The indication of possible presence of substance does not infer that it will always be present nor that it is always necessary to conduct testing to prove the absence of said chemical.

    While trendy designs and unique colors may initially sell a garment, it’s ultimately the quality

    and safety that will ensure customer loyalty, generate repeat business, and preserve a

    brands reputation. MTS provides a complete range of product testing and quality assurance

    solutions for the softlines industry. Our extensive capabilities cover areas from bulk fabric,

    preproduction garments, and children’s sleepwear testing, to home textiles, curtains, table

    cloths, bedding, upholstery and more. MTS will ensure your products are compliant with all

    applicable US and international regulations. In addition, physical, performance, and special

    claims testing with MTS will ensure the product consistently meets or exceeds your

    customer’s expectations. This booklet will help to guide you through some of the common

    questions our Technical consultants are often asked.
