BLC takes a step in the right direction

21/12/2004

BLC Leather Technology Centre based in Northampton, UK has expanded its range of services and is now offering a whole package of shoe and footwear component tests in addition to the full range of leather tests it already offers.

 

The centre has introduced this new range of tests in response to customer demand as a result of more and more legal requirements placed on retailers and manufacturers and the market pressures to provide a quality, comfortable and aesthetically appealing products. Having recently gained UKAS accreditation for a range of footwear tests BLC can now offer this package to its customers.

 

With a proven track record in providing leather testing has meant that the transition into footwear testing has been a natural step, although BLC has made a sizeable investment in its new footwear testing facility which provides the capability to measure the performance of footwear to ensure that it meets appropriate performance requirements for quality and safety.
