The relevant properties depend on the material and the claimed problem. Examination or testing may address fiber composition, yarn characteristics, fabric construction, tensile behavior, dimensional change, abrasion, colorfastness, absorbency, or other performance characteristics. Textile laboratories commonly test fibers, yarns, fabrics, garments, and related products using standardized procedures.
The comparison may consider fiber content, yarn construction, weave or knit structure, weight, finishing treatments, manufacturing variation, and prior exposure to laundering, moisture, abrasion, heat, or other conditions. Specifications, retained samples, production records, and appropriately selected laboratory testing can help determine whether the observed difference originates in the material, processing, production, or subsequent use.
E-textiles incorporate conductive or electronic functionality into textile structures and may require analysis of both textile performance and electrical behavior. Depending on the issue, examination can include conductive paths, integration methods, physical durability, and changes in electrical resistance following conditions such as laundering or stretching. AATCC maintains testing procedures specifically addressing electrical resistance in electronically integrated textiles.
Purchase specifications, supplier certifications, fiber-content information, mill records, test reports, samples, invoices, and production documentation can help document what material was specified, ordered, supplied, or represented in the supply chain. These records can be compared with the textile itself when there is a dispute over composition, quality, consistency, documented geographic sourcing, or conformity with purchasing requirements. Records may also help establish the country where a textile product was processed or manufactured when that issue is relevant. For many textile products, U.S. labeling rules address fiber content and the country where the product was processed or manufactured, making accurate product and supplier records potentially relevant depending on the dispute.
