Ensuring Garments are designed for INDUSTRIAL LAUNDRY requirements is critical to the performance of the workwear we produce. Tomax have worked for many years with market leading industrial laundry services to maintain the highest levels of performance and longer lasting garments, which is a huge benefit to the environment.

 

ISO 15797 is a test method used for evaluating textiles / garments that are to be industrially washed and consists of both washing and drying processes.

 

Tomax performs fabric tests after 50 industrial laundry washes according to ISO 15797 of: ISO 11612 A1 Surface Ignition, EN ISO 20471 High Visibility and EN 1149-3 Anti-static.

 

Since ISO 15797 is always performed on new, clean fabrics where no dirt is involved, Tomax completes these with ’real’ wearer tests of workwear in combination with washing at our industrial laundry partners to get the most reliable results.
