In the world of tanning, the safety and quality of hides and skins are not the result of chance, but the result of a rigorous process of analysis and verification. At Conceria Bello, chemical tests are the heart of our quality control system, a guarantee of compliance with international standards and the core of our environmental sustainability strategies.

Why chemical tests are essential
Every stage of processing – from leather preparation to finishing – involves the use of chemicals (tanning, dyes, fixatives) that must meet precise safety requirements. Our in-house laboratories perform analyses on heavy metals, solvent residues, pH and colour composition to ensure that each batch of leather exceeds the limits set by protocols such as REACH, Oeko-Tex and the Leather Working Group (LWG). Only chemically compliant leathers can become the basis for reliable and risk-free luxury products for the end user.
Cutting edge tools and methodologies
Conceria Bello constantly invests in the latest generation of instrumentation – spectrometers, chromatographs and automatic titration systems – that allow us to precisely measure even infinitesimal concentrations. The use of accredited methods guarantees reproducible and certified results, making our production process transparent to customers and certification bodies.
Legal compliance and transparency
We comply with the strictest standards worldwide (ISO 9001 for quality, ISO 14001 for the environment, LWG for sustainability). Every chemical test report is traceable and archived in our integrated management system: this means not only demonstrating compliance during audits, but also providing our partners with a complete picture of the life of the leather, from raw material to finished product.
Environmental sustainability and impact reduction
Chemical testing not only serves to protect consumer health, but becomes a lever to reduce environmental impact. By constantly monitoring water and chemical consumption, we optimise tanning recipes and rinsing steps, reducing the input of harmful substances into the drains. The analysis of organic content and pollutant load guides us in the choice of low-impact processes and effluent regeneration, in line with our circular economy approach.
Value for the end customer
For fashion brands, relying on Conceria Bello means being able to count on certified leathers, not only for beauty and performance, but also for safety and sustainability. Our customers receive, together with the supply, the analytical certificate of each batch: a valuable tool to dialogue with consumers and meet the growing demands for transparency in the fashion industry.
At Conceria Bello, chemical control is a daily commitment: a mix of science, technology and responsibility that allows us to deliver excellent, safe and environmentally friendly leathers. Because quality and sustainability are inseparable.
