We’re excited to join industry leaders at the 2025 Advanced Textiles Expo, where our experts will speak on critical topics shaping the future of textile science and product safety.

November 4 | Emerging Technologies Conference
Medical Products vs. Medical Devices
Dr. Alexander Laubach will lead a 50-minute session examining the often-blurred line between healthcare products and medical devices. With experience in biocompatibility and regulatory compliance, Dr. Laubach will clarify how products are classified, what claims are allowed and how to navigate both EU MDR and U.S. FDA medical device regulations. The session will focus on biological safety, performance standards, and strategies to ensure compliance without overstepping into unintended medical claims.

November 5 | Show Floor Session
Meeting NFPA 1970 Chemical Requirements
Join Ben Mead for a session addressing the updated NFPA 1970 standard and its impact on chemical safety in PPE. The new guidelines regulate substances like PFAS, heavy metals and flame retardants that pose potential risks to wearers. This presentation will break down compliance options, including targeted RSL testing and OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification, while offering insights into implementation and risk mitigation for protective textiles.
