Leading textile dyes and auxiliaries provider DyStar has been officially accredited as an authorized laboratory for colourfastness testing for the Marks & Spencer retail chain.
As long-standing partners, DyStar and Marks & Spencer have repeatedly set new standards for quality assurance. For example, they jointly developed a new method for testing textile dye fastness to activated bleaching systems used by leading detergent manufacturers.
This has been introduced as the Marks & Spencer performance specification C10A and led to the development of the international test standard ISO 105-CO9. DyStar products are used in the manufacture of high-quality Marks & Spencer textile merchandise, while colour standards produced by DyStar's subsidiary Color Solutions International support worldwide conformance to its high quality colour matching requirements.
