Leading the way in global PPE standards

PPE standards are evolving at a rapid pace. In China, the TC112 Committee is redefining hand and foot protection requirements. Thanks to CTC’s direct involvement, brands can anticipate regulatory changes, streamline certification, and stay ahead of the competition.

Strengthening partnerships across Asia

In Malaysia, the world’s hub for nitrile and latex gloves, CTC Asia has established itself as a trusted partner. From chemical protection testing aligned with EU standards to specialised food-contact analyses, CTC offers regulatory expertise and fast, reliable solutions to help manufacturers meet tightening safety requirements.

Preventing hidden risks before they hurt your brand

Compliance alone is not enough. Mould, weak sole bonding, or performance failures can damage products and reputations alike. With its mould prevention and sole bonding audits, CTC provides actionable solutions to safeguard quality and build lasting consumer trust.

PFAS compliance: staying ahead of environmental and regulatory challenges

PFAS are now a global concern, raising questions of health, environmental impact, and regulatory compliance. CTC guides brands through this complex landscape with advanced testing and proactive strategies, ensuring products remain safe, sustainable, and internationally compliant.

Turning recall data into competitive advantage

In the first half of 2025, nearly 170 product recalls were recorded across textiles, footwear, and accessories in Europe and China. CTC transforms this recall data into strategic intelligence, enabling brands to anticipate risks, prevent issues, and turn regulatory vigilance into a competitive advantage.
