Bag and Luggage Certification Meeting International Standards

Bags, Luggage and Accessories Testing
Basic Introduction
From wallets, handbags and backpacks to suitcases, these products are designed and intended to safely store our valuables and personal belongings. To ensure that these products can achieve their intended purpose, bag and luggage testing is essential to meet consumer product expectations and ensure compliance with safety standards and requirements.

China is now a major bag production country. In 2005, China's total bag exports exceeded US$7 billion, accounting for nearly 70% of the total imports of developed countries and regions such as Europe and the United States. But looking to the future, the export outlook is not optimistic, the main reasons are:
First, there is no independent brand and the products are cheap.
Second, international trade frictions are becoming increasingly apparent. The previous development model of low-price expansion and winning by volume has put Chinese bags at high risk of international trade frictions.
Expert experience in bag testing/inspection can help you gain the trust of buyers, break through the EU's technical and environmental standards trade barriers, and give yourself a competitive advantage and an invincible position.

Comprehensive luggage and suitcase testing services can help manufacturers and retailers meet consumer expectations and ensure product quality and safety through a wide range of product performance tests, such as strength and fatigue testing, zipper function testing, straps, buttons, handles, connectors, etc. Physical performance tests
Durability test (QB/T 1333, QB/T 2155)
Roll test (SATRA)
Drop test (SATRA)
Waterproof test (AATCC 22, 35)
Static and dynamic load test (SATRA)
Analysis of hazardous chemicals (EN 14362, LFGB & 64 BVL B 82.02.9, DIN 54231, BS EN ISO 14184-1, BS EN ISO 3071, BS EN 1122)
Accessories
Eyeglasses and sunglasses test (ISO 12312, ISO 12870)
Button performance test (ATSM F963, EN 71, ISO 8124-1, GB 6675)
Zipper performance test (BS 3084)
Belt performance test (SATRA)
Corrosion resistance test (ASTM B117, ISO 9227)

Assessment items
A-level general product assessment items:
Process level
Check whether there are bad designs or components that are harmful to users during use.
Performance of rollers/handles
Set the load of the luggage in normal use, and examine the fatigue resistance of the rollers after long-term rolling, as well as the strength and durability of the handles/shoulder straps.

B-level high-quality product assessment items:
Static load test
Set the load to exceed the normal load-bearing capacity, and test the strength of the handles/shoulder straps in a static hanging state
Dynamic strength load test of handles
It can simulate the strength of the handles when the luggage is loaded. For example, when the luggage handles are repeatedly lifted and put down, the damage of the material and the poor design of the handle structure will be reflected.

C-type quality product assessment items:

Drop test

Normal load-bearing luggage samples fall freely at a certain height for a corresponding number of times to check for damage.

Extrusion test

Simulate the situation where luggage is squeezed during transportation or storage.

Durability test of the pull rod

Simulate the process of raising and lowering the pull rod to check the fatigue resistance of the pull rod mechanism.

Other items

Box - Structural stability test

Material physical properties -

Fabric weight, friction/light color fastness of fabric and leather, seam fastness of locks/zippers/handles/shoulder straps.

Material chemical properties -

Test for azo dyes that can release carcinogenic aromatic amines, formaldehyde content, total cadmium content, and hexavalent chromium. Accessories -

Rust resistance of metal parts, durability test of zipper opening/closing, durability test of lock opening/closing, shear force, tearing force and durability of Velcro.
