16 (1) .29.6.07 Test Methods

This document lists various types of tests performed on textiles to measure different properties, along with the applicable testing standards and equipment used. It includes tests for colour fastness to light, washing, dry cleaning, water, perspiration and other factors. Physical tests measure properties like dimensional stability during washing and steaming, appearance after washing, tensile strength and other durability factors. The tests are designed to evaluate how textiles stand up to different conditions and uses to ensure quality and performance.
