Leather Grading Training
SATRA’s method of measuring the usability of leather is the industry standard for ensuring realistic and consistent grading results.
SATRA’s five-point grading system
We provide comprehensive training in the SATRA five-point grading system, a unique method which has evolved through continuous development of our leather assessment techniques.
In addition, we will inspect your working environment to ensure it is suitable. We will teach you about area discrepancies and show you how to record the data in a standard form using the paperwork specifications provided.
The Main Benefits
SATRA’s ‘one language’ approach will ensure realistic and consistent grades. It will improve understanding and communication between you and the tanneries, since agreed quality standards can now be defined and measured. Disputes about leather quality with the tanneries and cutters will be reduced, and monitoring of leather usability will be simplified.
Supplied with the training are a leather assessment manual, which includes standard forms, and measuring grids and standard perspex shapes for use in grading.
