Quality is a relative term. It is the attribute of
the products that determines its fitness for use. We can define textile and
apparel quality as it is all specific properties and performance of a textile
or apparel product or service that can be evaluated to determine whether a
product or services satisfactorily meets the purposes of its uses. Quality
depends on buyer satisfaction. In modern and fast growing world there is no alternative
of quality in textile and apparel products. So, manufacturing of quality
products with customer requirements, textile and garment manufacturers use
modern textile testing and quality equipment's in every stage of production.
