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.
