== History ==
Textile testing is the process of evaluating the quality and properties of a textile material through a series of tests at various stages of manufacturing.<ref name=":0" /> Textile testing, like textiles, is a vast subject. The historical evolution of textile measuring, and testing methods is difficult to consolidate as the subject is scattered and has different stage timelines for its starting points.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rdrQAAAAMAAJ&newbks=0&printsec=frontcover&dq=textile+testing+history+measurement&q=textile+testing+history+measurement&hl=en |title=Ciba Review |date=1959 |publisher=Ciba Limited. |pages=6 |language=en}}</ref>
The AATCC has served the textile industry for over a century. During World War I, when the Atlantic blockade prohibited European dyes from reaching America and American dye makers struggled to provide consistent goods, the necessity for American textile testing procedures became obvious.<ref>{{Cite web |title=History |url=https://www.aatcc.org/history/ |access-date=2022-11-21 |website=AATCC |language=en-US}}</ref> ▼

== Testing standards ==
Specific organizations have developed testing procedures, such as the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). These testing procedures allow for accurate assessment of textile product properties, such as the relative strength or tenacity of the fibers, etc.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book |last=Elsasser |first=Virginia Hencken |url=http://archive.org/details/textiles00virg |title=Textiles : concepts and principles |date=2005 |publisher=New York, NY : Fairchild Publications |others=Internet Archive |isbn=978-1-56367-300-9 |pages=20, 25}}</ref>
