Every register the house serves is governed — by the burn clock, the lightfastness scale, the abrasion drum, the chemical registry. This page is the map of those standards, sector by sector, and how the documentation reaches your programme.
A material earns its place twice — once in the hand, once in the file.
The leathers the house develops are specified into aircraft cabins, motor yachts, grand tourers and hotel floors — environments where a material is admitted by test report, not by reputation. Compliance work runs alongside color work at Aeristo: the same article that is calibrated to half a Delta E is burned, rubbed, faded and assayed to the standard its destination demands. The documents follow the leather.
Each register reads from its own rulebook. The house works to the standard the programme demands — and issues the documentation per article, per colour, per dye lot.
Aviation interiors answer to the airworthiness code: cabin materials are specified to the flammability requirements of FAR 25.853, with burn documentation supplied to the completion centre or OEM per programme. Developed alongside certified aviation interiors since 1991.
Materials fitted aboard classed vessels work under the IMO regime — the Marine Equipment Directive and the fire test procedures that govern upholstery at sea. Salt air, sun and the long season are met with lightfastness and abrasion specification alongside.
An automotive cabin is a sealed room in the sun. Interior leathers are assessed for organic emissions to VDA 278, with flammability to the customary automotive standard of the programme — the quiet chemistry of a material you sit inches from for years.
Contract interiors are specified by jurisdiction and by wear: the flammability code of the territory, and Martindale abrasion counted in the tens of thousands of cycles for the lobby that never closes. The house specifies both per project.
| Colour calibration | Every finish developed to ±0.5 ΔE under D65 / 10° — the tolerance the registers above specify by. |
|---|---|
| Origin | South German bull hides, tanned in Italy — provenance documented through the tannage. |
| Chemistry | REACH-aligned restricted-substance discipline; substance documentation per article on request. |
| Lightfastness | Blue Wool specification per article and application. |
| Abrasion | Martindale endurance specified per programme — contract, marine and cabin grades. |
| Documentation | Test reports issued per article, per colour and per dye lot — by accredited laboratories, to the standard the programme names. |
Certification is issued against the article, the colour and the programme — not as a generic stamp. When a specification names its standard, the house returns the matching test documentation with the sample set: burn reports for the completion centre, emissions analysis for the OEM, endurance figures for the contract floor.
