The objective of product testing is to ensure that the finished product performs as expected.<ref name=":1" />
== 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>▼
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> The AATCC has developed over two hundred textile standards, test methods, evaluation procedures, and monographs.

== Testing ==
Textile testing is conducted at various stages, including raw materials, fibers, yarn, fabric, and finished product.

Stretchable fabrics have greater movability and are thus more comfortable than fabrics with no stretch or less stretch.<ref name=":17" />{{Rp|page=23}}

Standards vary with the use and application areas. For example, there are specific ways to test how well military and industrial textiles work in harsh environments.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Pbpgzrd5RY8C&q=performance+fabrics |title=USA Standard Performance Requirements for Textile Fabrics |date=1968 |publisher=United States of America Standards Institute}}</ref>
