SQS Makes its presence felt at Texworld Paris 2026, Empowering High-Quality Development of the Global Textile Industry with Professional Testing Services

From February 2nd to 4th, 2026, Texworld Paris International Fabric Show, a flagship event in the global textile industry, was grandly held at the Parc des Expositions de Paris - Le Bourget. Over 1,100 exhibitors from 33 countries and regions gathered here, attracting nearly 7,000 professional buyers from 108 countries worldwide. As a leading professional textile testing laboratory, SQS made its appearance with a full-chain testing solution, emerging as a highlight with its authoritative technologies and comprehensive services, and winning extensive recognition from global exhibitors and buyers.

As Europe's largest foreign trade procurement platform for fashion textiles, this year's Texworld Paris featured a full range of textile products and set up the Avantex innovation section, focusing on hot topics such as sustainability and intelligent materials. European buyers accounted for more than 70% of the total, 90% of whom were direct decision-makers. Environmentally friendly products, functional fabrics and supply chain compliance have become their core considerations.

As an internationally recognized third-party institution, SQS has been deeply rooted in the textile testing industry for many years. Adhering to the philosophy of "Fairness, Impartiality, Scientific Accuracy and High Efficiency", it provides a full life-cycle testing service covering from raw materials to finished products. For this exhibition, the laboratory focused on showcasing four core testing service systems in combination with European regulations and industry trends, to meet the diversified needs of enterprises.

In terms of functional testing, SQS offers a complete set of solutions for outdoor, sports and thermal insulation fabrics, covering key indicators such as far-infrared property, UV protection (EN 13758-1, AATCC 183), water vapour permeability (ISO 11092) and water pressure resistance (AATCC 127, ISO 20811). Relying on advanced equipment such as FTIR spectrometers and strictly following standards including GB/T 30127-2013 and ASTM E1933, SQS provides strong support for the R&D and compliance claims of functional fabrics. It also accurately tests the aging and flexing resistance of outdoor fabrics, helping enterprises to access the high-end European market.

In the field of compliance control, the laboratory focuses on the latest requirements such as EU REACH and AFIRM RSL, providing testing services for harmful substances including PFAS, heavy metals and formaldehyde. It also offers a full range of testing for metal accessories such as salt spray testing (ASTM B117, B368). Combined with routine testing including post-washing appearance and dimensional stability, SQS comprehensively helps enterprises avoid export risks and ensure product quality.

Keeping in step with the green and environmental protection focus of the exhibition, SQS showcased its green textile testing solutions, including recycled fiber analysis, material identification of recycled materials and carbon footprint accounting services. These solutions help enterprises achieve low-carbon production, align with European procurement demands, and meanwhile provide customized testing support for innovative materials.

During the exhibition, SQS's booth welcomed an endless stream of visitors. European brand buyers and representatives of domestic export enterprises stopped to consult one after another. The professional technical team of SQS provided one-on-one customized solutions, interpreted European relevant regulations and testing requirements, and solved practical testing problems for enterprises.

Through this exhibition, SQS not only demonstrated its strong technical strength, but also established cooperative connections with global industry elites and reached a number of preliminary cooperation intentions. At the same time, SQS captured the latest industry development trends, which provides a valuable reference for optimizing its testing services and enhancing technical capabilities.

Participating in Texworld Paris 2026 is an important measure for SQS to expand the international market and boost its brand influence. Looking ahead, the laboratory will continue to deepen its layout in the testing field, keep pace with international standards, and improve its full-chain testing service system. It will provide professional compliance support for domestic and foreign enterprises, and contribute to the high-quality development of the global textile industry.
