What is Textile Testing?
Textile is an industry related to the production of yarn, through the stages of weaving, dyeing…to create fabric, which is then designed into products to meet the clothing and fashion needs of people.
Textile testing is a form of quality control that assesses the presence of harmful chemical compounds in textile and apparel products to ensure consumer health and meet the operational requirements of businesses and manufacturers.
Additionally, testing helps businesses determine product quality, enabling them to provide usage guidelines for consumers.
Reasons for conducting textile testing
- Evaluate product quality: Assess whether the product meets the manufacturing quality requirements of the enterprise
- Ensure human safety: Ensure that harmful chemical compounds in textile products are not present, thus ensuring consumer safety.
- Enhance product brand: Add value to the product, create accurate product images and PR materials, and meet legal requirements.
- Detect abnormalities and errors in the use of materials, production lines, and processes to promptly identify causes and make corrective adjustments.
- Testing textiles to meet standards will bring consumers high-quality products, ensuring safety for health and being environmentally friendly.
