SGS, Intertek, and their competitors publish reports in a standard structure, and a buyer who can read that structure can spot an irrelevant test, a wrong standard, and a report that does not actually cover the shipped product.

The two most common fraud patterns live right here: a report issued for a different product than the one shipping, and a report testing an outdated version of the standard. The sample description must name your product, material, and colorway, not a generic &#8216;textile bag&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tiiocti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/reach-svhc-testing-bags-eu-featured.png\" alt=\"REACH SVHC testing documentation for EU bags\" width=\"1672\" height=\"941\" class=\"wp-image-10939\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The Test Tables: What Each Line Actually Measures<\/h2>\n<p>Bag reports typically group results into physical, chemical, and regulatory tables. Physical tests cover fabric weight (GSM), tensile and tear strength, seam slippage, and load capacity. Chemical tests target restricted substances: lead and cadmium content, phthalates, azo dyes, and, for food-contact or children&#8217;s lines, the relevant migration tests. Regulatory tables map the results against the standard&#8217;s limits and state a pass or fail per parameter. Read the limits column as carefully as the results column, because a passing result against the wrong limit is still a failure for your market.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tiiocti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSM-Thickness-Testing-for-Non-Woven-Fabric.jpeg\" alt=\"Digital thickness gauge measuring fabric GSM\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-image-8798\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tiiocti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSM-Thickness-Testing-for-Non-Woven-Fabric.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/tiiocti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSM-Thickness-Testing-for-Non-Woven-Fabric-980x980.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/tiiocti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSM-Thickness-Testing-for-Non-Woven-Fabric-480x480.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Standards by Market: Matching the Report to the Destination<\/h2>\n<p>The standard a report tests against must match the destination market&#8217;s rules. EU-bound bags answer to REACH chemical restrictions and the General Product Safety Regulation; US-bound bags face state rules like California Proposition 65 and federal requirements for specific product classes; children&#8217;s and food-contact lines carry their own far stricter standards. A report against a China GB standard says nothing about EU or US compliance. The buyer&#8217;s job is to name the destination regulation in the test request, because labs test what they are asked to test.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tiiocti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/preproduction-sample-bags-specifying-load-and-tear-test-para-closeup-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Pre-production sample bags with load and tear test parameters\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1706\" class=\"wp-image-9187\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tiiocti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/preproduction-sample-bags-specifying-load-and-tear-test-para-closeup-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/tiiocti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/preproduction-sample-bags-specifying-load-and-tear-test-para-closeup-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/tiiocti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/preproduction-sample-bags-specifying-load-and-tear-test-para-closeup-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/tiiocti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/preproduction-sample-bags-specifying-load-and-tear-test-para-closeup-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2560px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The Fine Print: Scope, Condition, and What Reports Cannot Say<\/h2>\n<p>Three fine-print items deserve attention. The scope line defines exactly which parts of the product were tested: a report testing only the fabric does not cover the print, the zipper, or the webbing, and those components are where restricted substances usually hide. The test condition states whether the item was tested as received or after washing, which changes results materially. And the report itself only certifies the tested samples; it is the factory&#8217;s production consistency, backed by your own batch testing, that extends that result to the container.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>What makes a bag test report valid?<\/h3>\n<p>A valid report names the report number, the exact sample description, the standard and method tested, the test dates, and the laboratory&#8217;s ISO\/IEC 17025 accreditation marks.<\/p>\n<h3>Which tests does a bag lab report normally include?<\/h3>\n<p>Physical tests cover GSM, tensile and tear strength, seam slippage and load capacity.
