Textile GRS testing and certification

Textile GRS testing and certification is applicable to companies that have a statement describing the content of recycled raw materials in their ultimate products. At present, the certification standards established by recycled fibers are more commonly used. 

 

GRS certification must comply with four principles:

GRS production management system,

Social responsibility,

Environmental protection,

Chemical use.

 

The GRS is designated for the needs in the textile industry to check recycled products or certain specific products. What's more important is to let retailers and consumers understand which parts of a particular product are recycled materials and how to handle these materials in the supply chain.


GRS certification principles:

The GRS standard applies to products with a recycled content of 20% or more. Certain exceptions may be applicable. Please refer to the certification procedures reviewed by the Textile Exchange for information on concessions, as well as applicable to any recycled materials that have been accepted and applicable to any supply chain.

 

What are the requirements for GRS certification in the textile testing instruments and apparel industry?

To apply for GRS certification, it must meet the five requirements of traceability (Tarceability), environmental protection (Environmental), social responsibility (Social), label and general principles (General).

 

(A) Retrospective criteria

1: Guidelines and regulations related to product transportation and the use of certificates

2: Guidelines on the control of purchased products

3: Guidelines on management

4: Guidelines on quality control

5: Calculate the quantity ratio between GRS materials and non-GRS materials and related criteria using the total balance calculation method

 

(B) Environmental guidelines

Guidelines on environmental management

1: The certified company must have an environmental policy manual

2: The certified company must conduct a comprehensive archive of chemicals, energy, water consumption and wastewater treatment. Including the treatment of wastewater sediment

3: Waste water that has not undergone wastewater treatment shall not be discharged, and the following treatment methods can be adopted:

In-house wastewater treatment or wastewater treatment by local authorities

4: The wastewater does not contain any additives, and should be cooled below 40°C/104F before it can be discharged

5: Wastewater with a PH value of less than 6 and greater than 9, should be neutralized until it is between the above limits

 

(C) Social norms

It is applicable to any link of the certification chain and starts at the waste collection station. This also means that the suppliers of waste products are not yet in the scope of certification. Standards are working hard to promote social norms to the supply chain of waste collection stations that have been recycled for the purpose

1: There are guidelines on worker health and safety

2: Guidelines on workers' rights

3: Guidelines on training

4: Guidelines on hygiene, danger and first aid

 

(D) Use of label grades and signs

1: Guidelines for label registration and use of signs

 

(E) General principles

Guidelines for inspections

How to Hang a Suspended Ceiling From Steel Beams

The suspended ceiling hangs under the roof or floor structure above, hiding ugly mechanical and electrical equipment from the view, while also allowing you to easily reach these equipment as needed.While wooden frames usually support such ceilings, in rooms where metal frames are used instead of traditional wood, you can also hang ceilings from steel beams.Hanging the ceiling from the beam requires you to use a special clip to connect the support line to the beam without compromising its structural integrity.Measure 4 inch down from the bottom of the lowest beam, pipe or pipe in the ceiling space.If you plan to use panel fluorescent lamps in your ceiling, add an additional 2 inch to this measurement.Make a mark on the wall indicating the location of the facade.Set up a laser level to extend the mark you made on the wall to the entire wall length.Draw a chalk line on the wall to mark the position.Mark all four walls repeatedly with chalk lines indicating the height of the ceiling.Instal

Importance of Calibration Service, Material Testing

When it comes to Calibration services, genuine service providers offer full recall system and data sheets for all items calibrated. Service needs to be instrument specific. With the advent of technology, Calibration service has seen a tremendous change and has gone through various phases to get the top quality. Calibration is a great deal for industrial purpose. It makes sure that products are manufactured as per specification. It also checks the competence level of technically valid results. The calibrated measuring instrument helps in checking the quality and valuation of the product. In cases of electronic equipment, it is essential to calibrate instruments to keep a check on quality and performance. Calibration facilitates in improving measurement abilities. Calibration service can be manual or automated.  textile testing equipment manufacturers Material Testing machines are available for a wide variety of industries including materials testers for plastics, textiles, adhesives, fi

Level Measurement Solutions

Makeup water treatment is an important component of steam generation. It is the means to resupply the system with water suitable for boiler and other operations that, was lost in the cycle.The steam generation cycle, level control for the water treatment process is not necessarily about efficiency, but rather, accuracy, reliability and safety, while providing proper inventory management to ensure chemical and makeup water supply meets demand. The focus is on the chemical component of the makeup water treatment since it presents difficulties for level technologies that may work perfectly on non-chemical applications related to the water treatment process or those with limited variations in the contents of the vessel's vapor space. Although important measurements such as ammonia, acid, caustic and other chemical storage tanks are not difficult level applications by any stretch, small nuances in how the vessels are monitored relative to level technology can have a dramatic effect on t
