Yes. The GenElm Series supports NEXT 17, a retail-focused standard that defines procedures for measuring the tearing strength of fabrics using the Elmendorf method. It is used by NEXT to ensure that clothing textiles can withstand everyday wear without premature tearing.

For suppliers and textile mills producing for NEXT, meeting this requirement is part of the quality approval process. By using the GenElm Series, labs can carry out the specified tear tests with accuracy and repeatability, helping manufacturers demonstrate compliance and secure product acceptance.
