'''Textile testing''' is the [[process]] of [[Measurement|measuring]] the properties and [[Textile performance|performance]] of [[Textile|textile]] materials—textile testing includes [[Physical test|physical]] and [[Chemical test|chemical]] testing of [[Raw material|raw materials]] to finished products.
Textile testing assists textile production in selecting various types of [[Fiber|fibers]] and their transformation into [[yarn]], fabric, and finished goods such as clothing. The materials are evaluated at multiple stages of production to qualify, compare, and [[Technical standard|standardize]] to meet the norms of different production stages and [[consumer]] [[Requirement|requirements]]. The testing of [[Textile|textiles]] is carried out in [[Laboratory|laboratories]] and in the field using simple to sophisticated testing methods and equipment. In textile testing, many analytical instruments and online monitoring systems are utilized. Textile testing adds value to different agencies involved in the textile supply chain, from production, distribution and consumption.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Booth |first=John E. |url=http://archive.org/details/principlesoftext0000boot |title=Principles of textile testing; an introduction to physical methods of testing textile fibres, yarns, and fabrics |date=1969 |publisher=New York, Chemical Pub.
