At Marti Fabrics we understand the importance of a quality textile product, not only for the initial batch but for every batch that follows. Our products not only reflect our own standards of service and quality but more importantly, they reflect the standards of our customers who distribute these products into various channels or those customers who utilize our fabrics for their own finished products. Each initial batch is tested to the highest standards as defined by various independent organizations and government bodies. These include the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC), Association for Contract Textiles (ACT), International Maritime Organization (IMO), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the State of California. All products are tested by an accredited third-party laboratory to the appropriate standards for contract and residential settings. No product is manufactured or sold until it has passed all applicable testing for performance, durability, and flammability. Official lab test reports for any of our stocked products can be acquired through your Marti Fabrics sales representative.
