Comfort certified in our laboratory

We test materials to validate performance, quality and comfort before industrial application.

How we measure comfort

Our laboratory validates every foam solution against recognised international standards — from SATRA and ASTM to UNE EN ISO methods. Below is the detailed test catalogue for each product family.

Rolling foams & Walkintech insoles

Static comfort

CLD - Dynamometric hardness
