Attachment Strenght Tests For All Accessories (e.g. Snaps, Zippers & Buttons...)
This tester is the unique safety test instrument that provides a means to accurately measure how safe accessories are attached in a product. It is also used to compare a variety of accessories from different vendors in the process from product design to production so that we can safequard our consumers.
It is a simple but effective design mainly consisting of a high precision gauge, a sturdy stand and special grips/clamps. It requires very little training. A sample required by standards & regulations is to be fixed horizontally (constant force is applied to secure the sample) so that snap or other accessories attached in fabric can be clamped into.
Moreover, a standard weight is also offered so that it can be regularly checked if it meets the safety requirements.

| Test Interpretation |
There are lots of different test interpretations. Take snaps as an example. All snaps are usually tested to with stand attachment strength of 17 pounds (or 7.73kg) for 10 seconds. If not, it is deemed to be mechanically unsafe unless it is not a small part & there is no sharp edge/point...
