Fewer generalisations.
More context.
To assess a yarn or thread, start with the specific product reference. Documentation is obtained from the supplier, and its availability depends on the reference and supplier.
Where each statement applies
Trade, product
and evidence kept separate.
Matema operates in textile trade, commercial agency, resale and trading. It obtains documentation from suppliers; availability and the specific document depend on the reference and supplier.
Product
Composition, construction, treatment and other characteristics belong to the specific product reference.
Evidence
Where applicable documentation exists, verify its holder, scope and validity.
Documentation process
From the reference
to the documentation.
The process starts with the specific product reference. Matema checks with the supplier about the documentation available and, when a document is provided, verifies its holder, scope and validity.
To clarify the documentation for a reference, talk to the Matema team.
Materials in the range
A material is a data point.
Not an automatic claim.
These materials appear in Matema's yarn and thread ranges. Composition alone does not determine a product's certification or environmental impact.
