Technical textile analyses
Here we work mainly with classic physical and chemical textile testing. Our services range from conducting material tests to determine relevant properties and conducting comparative analyses to determine whether the requirements made are satisfied (such as terms of delivery, tenders and requirement norms) to conducting analyses as part of the complaints handling process and location of fault causes.
Textile cleaning and care
When a claim or complaint is made, clarification is often required as to the extent to which there is a textile flaw or a deficiency in the cleaning method applied. An experienced team made up of textile technicians and chemists working together across disciplines provides a consultancy service in a wide range of issues to commercial textile cleaners and textile and clothing manufacturers
Test equipment construction
The ÖTI develops and constructs test equipment and laboratory systems for various textile applications, both for its own purposes and on behalf of customers. As well as in-house production, some of the equipment developed is produced under licence by leading manufacturers for the ÖTI.

Product testing – ecolabels
As regards the testing of products for conformance to the criteria of various ecolabels, the ÖTI is the appointed test body for the Austrian environmental label, for the "Blue Angel", for GUT (carpet testing for a better living environment) and for the Association for the control of emissions of products used in flooring, adhesives and building materials (EMICODE).
Ready-made clothing
Here we test and inspect items of ready-made clothing. We pay special attention here to workmanship and correct fit. These analyses are applied for the inspection of incoming goods deliveries and for inspection pertaining to compliance with ready-made clothing regulations (as specified for certain personal protective equipment, for example).
