Especially products with electric conductive components, like traces for heating or lightning applications or textile sensors, contactings between individual components of the smart textiles as well as interaction between the textile and textile-atypical, unflexible components have to be tested. The purpose of the testings is to assess the processability of new materials, to evaluate lifetime and deficits of the products, not at least for the users safety.

In a special smart textile test laboratory textile and electronic test methods will be adapted and combined with stress simulations.
