SUS-B requires dark hero, data dashboard, research downloads, regulatory timeline and centered CTA.
Cordura does not treat sustainability as a decorative statement. The buyer receives scheme name, article scope, facility reference and date where available, plus a clear note where a claim depends on final construction or nominated production route.
Certificate scope must name what product family or facility is actually covered.
Facility notes are kept separate from article claims so reviewers can compare them correctly.
Recycled or lower-impact routes are documented by source and chain-of-custody where applicable.
Current scans are requested at the time of review because status can change across seasons.
Buyer lists required schemes, regions and restricted-substance expectations.
Cordura identifies current files, open questions and article-level dependencies.
Commercial release notes include which evidence remains valid for the order window.
Send target application, required method route, sample timeline and expected commercial scale so the technical desk can respond with a clean evidence path.
Send inquiryFor Cordura review teams, the useful brief is not a loose product description. It should name the target article, expected abrasion or tear risk, preferred construction direction, required certificate scope, test method assumption, sample quantity, launch timing and commercial volume band. When those details are present, the technical desk can answer with a controlled sequence: category recommendation, sample label, evidence availability, open validation points and quote basis. This keeps the conversation readable for product developers, sourcing managers, quality engineers and compliance reviewers who may enter the project at different moments.
Each construction is qualified against the published test methods below. Sourcing and QA teams can request the matching certificate during the sample stage.
| Specification | Test Method | Typical Target |
|---|---|---|
| Yarn Count | ASTM D1907 | Ne 30/1 to Ne 80/2 ring-spun shirting; Ne 7-12 OE denim warp |
| Thread Count | ASTM D3775 | 200-800 TC bedding; 60-120 TC towel base |
| GSM | ASTM D3776 | 120-180 g/m² shirting; 320-450 g/m² denim; 400-650 g/m² towel |
| Shrinkage After Wash | AATCC 135 | ≤3% warp/weft 5× home wash; ≤2% hospitality linen |
| Colorfastness Crocking | AATCC 8 | ≥4 dry / ≥3 wet |
| Compliance | OEKO-TEX Standard 100 / GRS / GOTS / BCI | Certificates issued with batch tracing |
Submit a sample request via the inquiry form. Standard memo size 20×20 cm with full technical data sheet (TDS), composition, test method references and lot ID is shipped within 5-10 business days.
An application engineer can be assigned for joint test plans (e.g. Wyzenbeek per ASTM D4157, Martindale per ISO 12947, or MVTR per ASTM E96). Test reports are delivered in ISO/IEC 17025-accredited lab format.
Suppliers receive REACH SVHC declaration, OEKO-TEX or bluesign certificate copies, Higg FEM facility score, and ZDHC ClearStream MRSL conformance summary on request, subject to NDA where applicable.
For specifications where alternative test methods exist (e.g. Wyzenbeek vs Martindale, ASTM E96 vs JIS L1099), a side-by-side method comparison is available so procurement and design teams can align on a single qualifying standard.
