This document discusses textile testing, which is the process of determining a product's quality. Textile testing is important for certifying products and controlling different manufacturing processes. There are three main types of textile testing: chemical testing, fastness testing, and physical testing. Fastness testing evaluates how dyes withstand conditions like washing, crocking, perspiration, and exposure to light. Physical testing measures dimensional stability, strength, abrasion resistance, and other mechanical properties. Proper textile testing requires considering factors like the material, sample size, type of test, equipment, needed information, and accuracy.

2.  TESTING MEANS CHECKING,EXAMINE AND VERIFICATION OF
SOME ITEMS.
 TO CHECK THE QUALITY AND SUITABLE OF RAW MATERIAL.
 TO MONITOR PRODUCTION PROCESS CONTROL.
 TO ASSESS THE QUALITY OF FINAL PRODUCTS.
 TO INVESTIGATE THE FAULTY MATERIALS.
 TO SET THE STANDARD OR BANCHMARK.
 TO R & D PURPOSE.
 FOR NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.
TESTING IS GOVERNED BY 5M WHICH ARE
1. HUMAN 2. MACHINE 3.MATERIAL 4. METHOD
5. MEARSUREMENT

TEXTILE TESTING IS THE PROCESS & PROCEDURE TO
DETERMINE THE QUALITY OF PRODUCT.
TEXTILE TESTING IS A MOST IMPORTANT WAY TO
CERTIFIED THE PRODUCTS.
TEXTILE TESTING HELPS TO CONTROL THE DIFFERENT
PROCESS. SUCH AS SPINING ,WEAVING ,
PRETREATMENT,DYEING ,PRINTING AND FINISHING etc.
THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF TEXTILE TESTING
1. CHEMICALS TESTING
2. FASTNESS TESTING
3. PHYSICAL TESTING
