Certificates
Genunine certificates look like this:
Size: 145mm x 210mm (Approx A5)
The easiest way to check the validity of a PIPA certificate is to press your thumb on the stylised blue "P" of the Performance Textiles Association logo at the bottom right. The blue area should turn white (It returns to blue in a while) because it is heat sensitive.
Scanned or copied certificates will show the word "COPY" repeated faintly in the background.
Be sure to check the expiry date
