What Is Textile Testing?

Textile microbiological testing refers to the analysis of fabrics and textile materials for the presence and resistance to harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, mold, and yeast, which can affect both product safety and human health. This testing is crucial for textiles used in healthcare, hospitality, sportswear, and home furnishings, where hygiene and microbial resistance are essential. 

Microbiological testing of textiles helps ensure compliance with UAE regulations, including those governed by the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA), as well as international standards like ISO 20743, ISO 11721, and ASTM G21.
