BTRA PT Division (The Bombay Textile Research Association)
Accreditation self-declared (NABL)
Textile research association in Mumbai whose PT division runs proficiency testing for textile testing laboratories, covering chemical tests on fabrics and yarns (colour fastness, dimensional change, flammability, formaldehyde, banned amines, heavy metals) and mechanical tests on cotton fibre, fabrics and geosynthetics.
Testing fields
