The Armor Lux quality

Armor Lux has built its reputation on the quality of its products. As early as 1971, the company founded a service enabling it to control the manufacture of its production of knitted fabric and guarantee a high level of quality of the articles sold under the Armor Lux brand name.

Armor Lux has a Quality Department which currently counts around twenty people and an independent analytical laboratory in Quimper. The company has set up a quality assurance system based on the principles of the standard NF ISO 9001 version 2008 and which guarantees in particular:

• compliance of the products with the customers’ technical specifications and with the applicable legal and regulatory requirements;
• traceability of the manufacturing process of an end article by recording all the stages;
• quality controls of raw materials and end products;
• safety of the products and respect for the health of users;
• continuous improvement of the quality assurance system and of customer satisfaction.

Armor Lux has its own testing and analytical laboratory specialized in the control and development of textiles (LAD). Since 2011, the laboratory has been accredited by the COmité FRançais d’ACcréditation (COFRAC) (French Comity of Accreditation), pursuant to the standard NF EN ISO/CEI 17025. Armor Lux’s laboratory carries out over 10,000 physical and chemical tests each year (colorimetric analyses, dimensional stability, colorfastness, mechanical characteristics…).
