Unknown Textile Identification & Evidence Record

A source-reviewed working guide and fillable record for preserving textile provenance, separating components and evidence questions, commissioning qualified analysis, and avoiding unsafe home burn-test conclusions.

01
Decision use

Use it for this.

Investigating an unknown textile without using flame, smoke, odor, or residue as composition, flammability, care, safety, or compliance proof

02
Evidence on record

What the source establishes.

The guide cites current AATCC qualitative and quantitative fibre-analysis methods, the published ISO 1833-1 quantitative-analysis principles, ASTM's withdrawn D276 status and reinstatement work item, current FTC U.S. textile-label guidance, and current CPSC clothing-textile flammability guidance.

The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface.

Decision boundary

What this record does not prove.

The record does not identify a submitted textile, provide a home burn procedure, turn an observation into a fibre or blend result, choose a laboratory method, establish flammability or market compliance, validate a care instruction, or replace qualified laboratory, textile, conservation, safety, compliance, and legal review.

A reachable official source can verify identity, stated scope, and access. It cannot silently become an audit of workmanship, delivery, labor conditions, or suitability for your project.
