A wholly-owned subsidiary of educational charity the Society of Dyers & Colourists, SDCE’s roots stretch back as far as the 1970s when the search to establish standard methods for textile testing began. Research was driven by a not-for-profit ethos, and developed in collaboration with the British Standards Institute (BSI), the European Colour Fastness Establishment (ECE) and the International Standards Organisation (ISO). To this day, SDCE is defined by its commitment to offering consistent reliability on a worldwide scale. Benefits for Industry
Through strict tolerance levels and far-reaching quality control procedures, SDC test materials help ensure that the end product is manufactured to a consistent and measurable standard,where rogue batch or drift over time is clearly identified at the earliest stage. Quality variations can then be addressed, protecting brand reputations and reducing the potential for claims against the product. Whether working with major retailers, international test houses or delivering technical advice and service through local distributors, SDC Enterprises offers excellence as standard, and the assurance of textiles that meet internationally-recognised standards of quality. In addition to producing a standard range testing professionals across the textiles industry, SDCE also works with individual organisations to research and produce materials for specialist end uses.
