04 Mar Resuinsa’s terry towels comply with regulations to ensure durability and quality

Resuinsa is the first company in the hotel sector to be AITEX-certified for its terry towels. The certification guarantees compliance with UNE-EN standard 14697:2005 and specifies the minimum requirements and international methods for testing.

Textile quality is measured by how long it conserves its original properties. In order to ensure it is long-lasting, independent organisations perform exhaustive tests, like those Resuinsa’s terry towels have just passed with flying colours. The Textile Technology Institute (AITEX) has awarded the firm a test certificate for its terry towelling to confirm it fulfils all conditions for industry and household use.

In this sense, we have become the first hotel sector company to obtain a test certificate for terry towels. The certification represents compliance with UNE-EN standard 14697:2005, specifying the minimum requirements and testing methods to assess these items.

International parameters such as size, weight, size changes in fabrics subject to laundry, colour and dye solidity, traction resistance and absorption time are assessed.

Durability and quality

‘Terry towels are designed to efficiently absorb water’, explains Resuinsa CEO Félix Martí, ‘a point hotel guests highly appreciate, alongside a soft, fluffy feel. Moreover, this certification means hotel owners can be assured that our terry towels fully comply with all requirements in terms of durability and quality, after successfully passing different international testing methods’.

In this vein, Martí underlines the need for these types of certifications linked to quality, sustainability or corporate social responsibility.  ‘With ever more demanding guests, hotel owners are aware they need to offer products that improve guest experience. And textiles play an important role in this. Being awarded test certification from a body such as AITEX represents a major guarantee, since highly specific requirements have been met in line with international quality standards’, he concludes.
