UL’s laboratories in Cabiate (Italy) and Gurgaon (India) are now accepted laboratories by ZDHC to support the implementation of the ZDHC Wastewater Guidelines in value chains and to help ensure a consistent level of quality for the wastewater and sludge test data submitted in the ZDHC Gateway – Wastewater Module.  This recognition expands UL’s services dedicated to the leather industry and gave us the chance to better support brands, retailers, manufacturers and importers.  We are able to offer a wide range of services to verify the compliance of leather articles, bags and footwear to global requirements.
