Learning objectives
- Know standard tests
- Read a test report critically
Steps
- Physical: GSM, tensile, tear, seam slippage
- Colour: fastness, crocking
- Dimensional: shrinkage, skew
- Composition and safety
Factory example
A shirting fabric that passed GSM but failed seam slippage — caught before bulk cut, saved fabric and time.
Common mistakes
- Testing only at bulk arrival
- Ignoring skew and shrinkage
