Shirley® tests, audits and certifies textiles and other flexible materials.
It can trace its history back nearly 100 years through the Shirley Institute and Wool Industry Research Institute (WIRA). Over that time, it has been instrumental in many of the major development in textiles, including a Nobel prize for staff working at WIRA in 1952 for the invention of separation chromatography; the creation of the first breathable fabrics; and development of standard tests such as the Martindale Abrasion Test, and the Tog test.
