The SQ trade mark symbol signifies that products with that symbol have been analysed especially for critical substances

Together with each invoice we prove that our leather meets with specific regulations concerning PCP and Azo dye stuffs.

Further more for most of our products we have decided to test for other critical substances too, according to the so called SG-standard. This standard gives you the guarantee that these products fulfil a high criteria, so that critical substances, if they occur at all, lie far below the officially stipulated standards.

Our leather which is tanned and finished in a German tannery according with the Norm ISO 9001 fulfil this standard.
