AATCC, a leading textile standards organization, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Sri Lanka Standards Institution (SLSI) to adopt AATCC test methods and procedures as national standards in Sri Lanka.

This move is aimed at enhancing support for the needs of the people of Sri Lanka, promoting the growth of the country's economy, and aiding in the development of Sri Lanka National Standards.

According to the MOU, SLSI staff will also become members of AATCC and relevant committees. This is the second such MOU for AATCC, after it signed a similar agreement with L'InstitutoColombiano de NormasTécnicas y Certificación (ICONTEC) in 2020, enabling the adoption of AATCC documents as Colombia National Standards.
