Ensuring the durability of M&S clothing

21 Mar 2025

Intertek conducts tests for leading British retailer Marks & Spencer (‘M&S’) worldwide to ensure that its clothing meets the highest standards of quality and durability.

Through our decades-long partnership with M&S, we have developed a series of rigorous tests for its products. And while we support M&S with various garment testing services, we have recently worked with the company on its goal of making school uniforms better for children, parents and our planet. School uniforms are worn over 50 times more than the average item of clothing, and the durability of clothing is a significant factor in its environmental impact.

Our work with M&S highlights our joint commitment to ensuring the production of durable, high-quality clothing to reduce waste and educate consumers on sustainability. The partnership also supports M&S’ ‘Plan A’ roadmap to drive the circular economy.
