VEGAN PRODUCT TESTING
FOR CLOTHING & FOOTWEAR
As veganism becomes more and more a lifestyle choice, the need to prove that a product does not contain any animal source is more important now than ever.
YOUR CHALLENGE
Although veganism has mostly been linked to diet, it is a complete lifestyle choice that calls for the newly converted to consider all element of their lives in relation to how they interact with animals. Naturally, this also refers to the local environment, as well as the clothes and footwear worn.
HOW BV CAN HELP
To demonstrate that items are 100% vegan, Bureau Veritas Consumer items has created a number of tests. These tests enable a company or merchant to thoroughly evaluate its goods and declare them to be 100% vegan. We are able to analyze every component of apparel, accessories, and footwear, identify each product used, check for cross-contamination during production, and certify that a product is 100% vegan.
In 2021, in order to demonstrate that a product is 100% vegan when registering a trademark, Bureau Veritas Consumer Products registered their test procedures with The Vegan Society.
TRUSTED VEGAN LABELLING BY THE VEGAN TRADEMARK
Since 1990, The Vegan Trademark by The Vegan Society has made it easier for consumers to recognize products without any animal components. Brands can confidently promote their vegan credentials thanks to trademark registration. You can hasten the registration of your products by employing this test procedure.
OUR CAPABILITIES
A vegan test is a way of quality control to confirm that the vegan standard does not contain any animal products. Four technologies can confirm the absence of any animal products:
-
FIBRE TEST
The nonappearance of animal fiber is confirmed by microscopic techniques and a particularly created chemical analysis.
-
POLYMERIC MATERIAL AND SYNTHETIC LEATHER TEST
We verify the type of polymer component used by FTIR spectroscopy method.
-
GLUES & ADHESIVES TEST
The nonappearance of glue and adhesives of animal origin is confirmed through HPLC-MS/MS analysis methods, through which we recognize distinctive biomolecules that show the nonattendance of components of animal origin.
-
COLORANT TEST
We verify the absence of animal origin dyes by mass spectronty.
