Test-to-failure (TTF) testing of embellishments, buttons, ribbons, sequins, diamante etc. that have been attached to textiles is conducted to check that they have been safely affixed so they will not become choking hazards for infants. Mecmesin's test systems and force gauges are used to measure the force needed to pull the embellishments off from the textiles (TTF) to ensure they comply with BS 7907:2007.
