Industry & Occupation

Engineering & Manufacturing

Classification

Summary

Synthetic fiber inspection technicians conduct physical and chemical tests based on JIS standards for synthetic fiber products such as polyester and nylon, and evaluate their quality as specialists.

Description

Synthetic fiber inspection technicians measure the physical properties (tensile strength, elongation, thermal properties, etc.) and chemical properties (composition, content, color difference, etc.) of fiber products using various testing equipment. They prepare and measure samples according to test procedures, analyze the obtained data, compile it into reports, and collaborate with quality assurance and development departments to make improvement proposals. Knowledge of JIS standards and internal criteria is required, and they are also involved in calibration and maintenance of testing equipment and optimization of testing methods.

Future Outlook

Due to strengthening environmental regulations and expanding demand for high-performance fibers, the demand for synthetic fiber inspection technicians will remain stable and increase. Acquiring skills in automated testing using AI and IoT, as well as advanced data analysis techniques, will enhance future market value.
