What is leather verification testing?
In order to correctly advertise and market your products as 'genuine leather', it is advised to verify your leather. At Eurofins | BLC, we verify your products to ensure the leather used is in accordance with BS 2780: 1983+A1:2013.
Eurofins | BLC has 100 years’ experience in the leather industry so who better to verify your leather than the leather experts?
Leathermark use in the UK
Having your leather verified does not entitle you to use the Leathermark in the UK. In order to use the Leathermark on your products, you need to be a Eurofins | BLC Member or a supplier to a Eurofins | BLC Member.
Leathermark Verification
Species testing for leather products
Leather verification testing does not tell you what species of animal have been used in the production of your leather. Eurofins | BLC does, however, offer species testing separately. Many of our customers pair up leather verification testing with our species testing, so you can confirm what animal your leather comes from.
