A Button Snap Pull Tester is a specialized lab testing instrument used to determine the holding or breaking strength of snap fasteners, buttons, and other garment accessories attached to textiles, leather, or similar materials. It ensures safety and durability of clothing and accessories, particularly in children's wear.
🧪 Use of Button Snap Pull Tester
The tester is commonly used by:
Garment manufacturers
Quality control labs
Textile testing labs
Footwear and leather industries
✅ It helps determine:
Whether a button, snap, or rivet is securely attached
If it meets international safety standards
If it resists accidental detachment, which can be a choking hazard (especially for children's clothing)
📏 Testing Standards for Button Snap Pull Tester
The Button Snap Pull Tester complies with several international standards, including:
Standard Description
ASTM D4846 Standard test method for resistance of snap fasteners to pull-off forces
ASTM F963 Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety
16 CFR Part 1500.51-53 U.S. safety regulations for children’s clothing
EN 71-1 European safety standard for toys, including mechanical safety for snap buttons
ISO 8124-1 Safety of toys – Mechanical and physical properties
GB/T 22704 Chinese standard for snap fastener testing
DIN 3419 German standard for testing garment accessories
⚙️ How It Works
Fixture Setup: The button or snap is fixed into a clamping device.
Load Application: A steady, measurable pulling force is applied using a force gauge or digital load cell.
Force Measurement: The instrument measures the pull-off force required to detach the fastener from the fabric.
Result Evaluation: The result is compared to safety standards. If it fails below the minimum threshold, the attachment is considered unsafe.
