VEGAN PRODUCT TESTINGFOR CLOTHING & FOOTWEAR

YOUR CHALLENGE

While primarily veganism has been associated with diet, it is a total lifestyle choice and requires the newly initiated to examine all aspects of their existence regarding how they interact with animals. This obviously also includes the immediate surroundings and the clothes and footwear which are worn.

HOW BV CAN HELP

Bureau Veritas Consumer Products have developed a range of tests to prove products are 100% vegan. These tests allow a brand or retailers to properly test their products and label them as 100% vegan. We can test all clothing, footwear and accessories elements, identify each product used, check for cross-contamination during the manufacturing process, and confirm if a product is 100% vegan.

In 2021 Bureau Veritas Consumer Products registered their test methods with The Vegan Society, allowing you to provide proof that products are 100% Vegan when applying for the trademark registration.

TRUSTED VEGAN LABELLING BY THE VEGAN TRADEMARK

The Vegan Trademark, by The Vegan Society’ has been helping people identify that a product is free from animal ingredients since 1990. Registration with the trademark gives brands the confidence to shout about their vegan credentials. By using this test method, you can speed up the process of registering your products.

OUR CAPABILITIES

Vegan test is a quality control methodology to verify the absence of animal products under the vegan standard. Four technologies that verify the absence of any animal product:

Fibre Test

The absence of animal fibre is verified by microscopic techniques and a specifically developed chemical analysis.
Polymeric Material and Synthetic Leather Test

Using FTIR spectroscopy, we identify the type of polymer component used.
Glues & Adhesives Test

The absence of glue and adhesives of animal origin is verified via HPLC-MS/MS analysis methods, through which we identify different biomolecules that indicate the absence of components of animal origin.
Colorant Test

We verify the absence of animal origin dyes by mass spectronty.
