SGS EXTREME CONDITION TEST PROTOCOL
The SGS test was specifically designed to simulate the most extreme conditions, with particular focus on outdoor and ski applications. The zipper was subjected to repeated thermal shocks combined with washing and mechanical stress.
Specific Test Protocol:
-
The specimen was stored at -30°C and then washed at +30°C
-
Subsequently mechanically tested according to EN 16732:2025
-
The entire sequence was repeated 3 times
-
The reported test results refer to performance after 3 complete test cycles
