Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialist profession that uses various machines and test methods to measure and inspect the physical and chemical properties of fiber products to evaluate their quality and performance.
Description
Fiber testing workers conduct physical tests (tensile strength tests, abrasion tests, etc.) and chemical tests (color difference measurements, dye fastness tests, etc.) on fiber products such as fabrics and yarns, based on JIS standards or internal criteria, to evaluate performance in usage environments. They handle the operation of test equipment, setting of test conditions, sampling, data processing of results, and preparation of reports. They also collaborate with quality control and research & development departments to provide feedback for product improvements and process enhancements.
Future Outlook
With the high functionalization of fiber products and the development of environmentally considerate products, the demand for quality evaluation is expected to remain stable. On the other hand, as testing automation and digitalization progress, data analysis skills and equipment maintenance technology will become increasingly important in the future.
