TEMA GROUP FABRIC QUALITY HANDBOOK REV 6.02

1. FOREWORD
Tema Group Fabric Quality Handbook has been prepared for the purpose of defining the
tests, which must be carried out on the fabric that we will use in our products, the standards and
the tolerances that pertain to such tests and the rules as to how these tests will be carried out.
Fabric Quality Handbook will also be referred to as a document wherein our standards are
specified for our fabric suppliers. The standards of the products that our suppliers will produce for
us must be within the tolerance limits appearing in this handbook.
Fabric Quality Handbook is valid with Oekotex 100 standards. At common tests, the
standards prevailing in Tema Group Fabric Quality Handbook will be taken. For tests that are not
included in the Handbook, Oekotex 100 test standards and values will prevail. We expect supplied
products and fabrics will meet Oekotex 100 standards.
In chapter one, the method of use of the Fabric Quality Handbook is explained.
Chapter two contains the instructions where the purpose of doing fastness tests depicted in
Table 3 in detail, materials and tools, which will be used during the tests as well as the method of
doing tests are explained in detail.
Chapter three contains the instructions where the purpose of doing physical tests depicted in
Tables a and 5 in detail, materials and tools, which will be used during the tests as well as the
method of doing tests are explained in detail.
This chapter serves more to the standardization of the tests that we do at Tema Group
Laboratories.
The annexes of the Fabric Quality Handbook incorporate various tables and forms. These
tables and forms are used for the following purposes.
Table 1 shows the tests that must be done on woven fabric on product basis.
Table 2 depicts the tests that must be done on knitted fabric on the basis of fabric
composition.
Table 3 contains the fastness tests that must be done considering fabric compositions and
the information as tolerances, standards etc. belonging to such tests.
Table 4 contains the physical tests that must be done on woven fabric and the information as
tolerances, standards etc. belonging to such tests. This table was designed considering fabric
compositions.
Table 5 contains the physical tests that must be done on knitted fabric and the information as
tolerances, standards etc. belonging to such tests. This table was designed considering fabric
compositions.
Chapter 7 deals with ecological test standards. It contains requested ecological test values
and the ecological standards that are used for defining these values. However, since there is not a
generally accepted international test method in defining some values, these tests will be done using
the in-house methods of the relevant laboratories.

2. USE OF THE HANDBOOK


Fabric Quality Handbook will be used within Tema Group. Fabric purchasing will be evaluated
under the framework of laboratory and fabric delivery and control procedures.
While fabric is ordered to suppliers, the tests that are required for particular a product or
fabric depicted in Table 1 and 2 will be identified.
Even if the tests in Table 1 and Table 2 were not required from suppliers while order was
being placed, it is under the suppliers responsibility to deliver products having the tolerance limits
depicted in Tables 3, 4 and 5.
The tests that will be required from the laboratory after the ordered fabric has arrived at
warehouse will be defined considering Table 1 and Table 2.
Laboratory findings will be assessed by Product Responsible considering Table 3, Table 4 and
Table 5
You can refer to the last chapter of the handbook for ecological test standards.

4.4.1. PURPOSE
This test is done in order to measure permanent elongations of elastic woven fabric under
constant loads.
Before this test, fabric must have undergone elasticity test because the elasticity value
found at that must be used.
Note: If 80% of elasticity of fabric is more than 35%, elongation value to be used at
permanent elongation test will be limited to 35%. A fabric which found with 45% elasticity will be
used with the value of 35 %elasticity for this test (%45*%80=%36 > %35).
Permanent elongation is the elongation in percentage of woven fabric containing elastic
material, which are held at a certain elongation for a certain time and then released.
4.4.2. EQUIPMENT USED
Static elongation tester
Scissors
Ruler
Timer
4.4.3. CONDUCT OF TEST
Important Note:
In order to do permanent elongation test elasticity test must have been done and elasticity
value is already known.
3 samples will be prepared for each fabric containing elastic material to be tested. If the
fabric to be tested contains elastic material both at warp and weft, 1 sample will be prepared on
both directions.
New samples must be prepared for this test. Samples prepared for elasticity test must not be
used.
Conditioning:
Fabrics will be conditioned for at least 16 hours at a temperature of 200 C 20 C and a
humidity of %65 %4.
Three samples will be taken from the fabric, which do not contain the same weft and warp
yarns at the size 55 cm x 6 cm with long edge parallel to the elastic yarn. Sample must be reduced
to a width of 5 cm by drawing out yarns from both sides at equal quantity.
80% of the elasticity is calculated by the following formula:
80% elongation = E% x 0.80 x L / 100
L = Distance between marks at permanent elongation (50 cm).
The bottom jaw of static tester is switched to 0 and locked.
Sample is attached to the tester and both jaws are closed.

As previously calculated, fabric is elongated by pulling downwards until it reaches at the


elongation value of 80%. After 30 minutes fabric is released and left in a flat place.
After 60 minutes, distance between marked points is measured and permanent elongation is
calculated by the following formula:
% permanent elongation = (L2-L) x 100 / L
L2 = The ultimate value measured between marked points
L = Initial value measured between marked points

After exposing to load for thirty minutes, the amount of elongation under load (sample is
under load) will be calculated by the following formula:
LY=Elongation under load
L= Initial Length (25 cm)
% Elongation under load = (LY - L)*100/L

The special holder will then be removed from the bottom edge and permanent elongation after
five minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours with reference to previously marked 25 cm length will be calculated
by the following formula:
LK= Permanent Elongation
% Permanent Elongation = (LK - L)*100/L

4.6.4. EVALUATION
The value found after 2 hours will be considered the basic finding. Values found after
exposing to load for 30 minutes, 5 minutes and 1 hour will be used as reference only.
4.6.5. REPORTING
The test finding for the fabric will be compared with the relevant tables and pass/fail
assessment will be made.

Fastness tests must be done after fabric is washed during production for all products, which will be subject to industrial washing.
While selecting appropriate tests, the highest material in the blend under fabric blend column will be chosen.
For example, in case of a fabric containing 60% polyester, 20% viscose and 20% acrylic, the column for polyester blend will be selected
as the fabric contains more polyester in its blend. Test will be done as per TRH02 line at 40 C disregarding blend of cotton polyester and
cotton nylon fabrics.
Cross Staining is for contrast colours when they used and stain each other. Therefore on the fabric order sheet relevant unit must
indicate that contrast colours will be used and required cross staining test. Staining value should not be under 4/5 level.
For special instructions on colour fastness to light and perspiration fastness see: PAGE 38
For fluorescent colours (particularly swim-wear fabrics) the value for light fastness and colour fastness to water will be reduced 1
level below.
Colour fastness to rubbing test must be done outer (front) side of coated and printed woven fabrics, apart from these test must be
done inner (back) side of fabrics (regarding to usage of fabric).
Colour Fastness to Light level is considered C 3/4 for 100 % Polyester Polar and Fur fabrics.

Performance tests must be done after fabric is washed during production for all products, which will be subject to industrial washing.
Seam slippage value will be taken 5.5 kg for 6 mm for linen and linen blended fabrics below 160 g/m2 in the shirts group.
Dimensional stability to washing values of linings must be examined considering the base fabric.
Abrasion test is not required for velour and corduroy fabrics.
In linen and linen blends fabrics, abrasion test level is required 10 000 RPM without considering the fabric weight.
Abrasion and Pilling tests are not required for the fabrics, which consist flament yarn in both warp and weft and do not applied any
surface brushing process.

6.1. SPECIAL INSTRUCTION IN LIGHT PERSPIRATION FASTNESS


Perspiration light fastness will not be sought for our all winter season thick fabrics except
the products that will be used in summer because of its model and fabric type. These fabrics are
the following (knitted and woven):
Knitted:
3 yarn, 2 yarn (20/10 brushed, non-brushed),
Velvet and towels (plain and engineered stripe),
Polars,
Milano (plain and engineered stripe),
30/2 ve 20/1 plain and engineered stripe ribs (brushed, stoned, non-brushed),
30/1, 20/1 and 24/1 plain and engineered stripe interlocks (brushed, sanded and nonbrushed),
30/2 and 20/2 supreme (brushed, sanded and non-brushed),
Woven;
Velvets, wool fabric, thick shirt fabrics, flannel type fabrics. Also the thick fabrics that
cannot be worn as from April.
For the fabrics, which are shown above but which could be used in summer, perspiration light
fastness tests will be conducted. For example, 30/1 interlock might be used in summer season
therefore decision will be made depending on at what season it is manufactured.

7.3.2. FORMALDEHYDE (AT01)


Description: Formaldehyde is a volatile colorless gas and found in small quantities in
atmosphere, tobacco, glue and air pollution. Formaldehyde is contaminant parallel to its volatile
nature. If a cloth containing formaldehyde is put on another clothe, it will be contaminated by
formaldehyde. Formaldehyde can cause allergy, itching and eczema. The fabric samples that are
required for testing must be packed and put into pouches individually.
Use: Formaldehyde and the agents releasing formaldehyde is used for shrink-proof finishing,
crease-proof finishing, preserving dyed and print and fixing.
7.3.3. PH (AT02)
Description: Ph value represents if solutions are acidic or alkali. Lower values indicate acidic
solutions whilst high values show alkali solutions. High PH values (over 8) cause skin sensitivity,
redness and itching. Very high PH values cause burns on human skin. The fabric samples that are
required for testing must be packed and put into pouches individually.
Various chemicals, metals used in textile, clothe production; product washing and finishing
determine final PH values. Chemicals that are used for mercerization process have high PH values.
Textile products undergo processes with various basic and acidic substances during finishing
operations. Basic or acidic residues on a textile product can irritate skin in humid environment. In
order to prevent that, the PH value of textile products must be the same or close to the pH valid of
human skin (about pH=5,5).
Textile products that are properly washed and neutralized usually create no problems in
conforming to these values.
7.3.4. HEAVY METAL IONS (AT03)
Heavy metal ions on textile products usually originate from either fibers or dyes used. Due to
the toxicological values of heavy metals, textile products must contain them below a definite limit.
The heavy metals are arsenic, lead, cadmium, cobalt, chrome (total), chrome VI, nickel, copper,
mercury and antimony.
7.3.5. RESTRICTED PESTICIDES (AT04)
Description: Pesticides are contained in fertilizers and agricultural medicine that are used at
growing of natural fibers (as cotton) and do not get decomposed until final use.
They increase the toxic substances in humans and animals. This may give harm to
reproduction, hormonal and immunity systems of humans and animals. It is suspected that some
pesticides carry carcinogen substances.
Use: Pesticides are used at growing plants, animals or natural fibers in order to prevent
reproduction of insects.

or might be poisonous. For example phthalate, cadmium, lead. When PVC is heated and burned, there
is a risk of emitting hazardous substances to the environment.
Use: It is used in textile sector for producing PVC soft plastic accessories (labels, zippers) or
for coating fabrics. It is also used to produce imitation leather products. Some prints are made of
PVC.
7.3.10.2. RESTRICTED PHTHALATES (AT10)
Description: Phthalates can penetrate in body when contacted with plastics through saliva or
perspiration. Even a small amount of phthalate on clothe can be detached from the product after
washing and thus make environment pollution. Phthalates are the substances that can give harm to
the hormonal systems of humans and animals who are suspected of being carcinogen.

Description: They might be irritating for skin. Also it is know that the affect human and
animal immunity system. They are poisonous for sea life.
Use: They are usually used for fixing plastics/rubber. Also used as anti-bacterial finishing
agent.
TBT, DBT and MBT are organotin compounds. These compounds are used as insecticide,
fungicide, antibacterial, wood preserving agent and plastic stabilizer. They have very high toxicity
for the organisms living in water. It is known that TBT (tributyltinchloride) compounds have a toxic
effect on nervous system and are absorbed by skin. These compounds are used in some textile
auxiliaries.
7.3.12. POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLES (PCBs), POLYCHLORINATED TRIPHENYLES (PCTs)
(AT11)
Description: PCB and PCTs are big molecules containing chlorine atoms. Chlorine atoms easily
penetrate to organisms and environment since they affect solubility of substances. Their effects on
hormonal system, liver, immunity system and nervous system were observed. When PCB and PCTs
are burned or heated, it is likely that with chlorine dibensophurance substances are released.
These released compounds are like dioxins in chemistry and are much more poisonous than PCB
itself.
Use: They are generally used as pesticides and sometimes as flame-retardant, softener and
carrier.
