The actual European and American fabrics on the environmental protection test have these respectively.

1. American textile testing standards

U.S. textile quality testing standards are: AATCC standards (American Association of Textile Colorists and Chemists), ASTM standards (American Society for Testing and Materials), CPSC (U.S. Federal Consumer Product Safety Commission) and FTC mandatory standards (U.S. Federal Trade Commission). In addition, the United States has developed many technical regulations for textile and apparel: Textile Fiber Products Identification Act, Wool Products Labeling Act, Fur Products Labeling Act, Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, fabric flammability regulations, children's sleepwear flammability regulations, down products processing regulations, etc.

2. Testing standards of EU textiles

The EU does not have a special standard-setting body, CEN (European Commission for Standardization) is mainly to implement international standards, coordinate the standards of member states and develop the necessary CEN (European standards), CEN standards are mostly the same as ISO standards.

Each EU member state has its own regulations and standards, and the EU unified laws and regulations are slightly different in terms of technical requirements or conditions. Britain as one of the birthplace of the modern textile industry, its textile standards system in addition to the fairly complete British Standard (CBS), there is a set of (BSBN) standard system. German standard (DTN) is also quite severe and complete, and the current standard for controlling harmful substances is derived from DIN standard.

Europe and the United States textile fabrics four-point system and ten-point inspection standard sub-system：

I. AATCC inspection and sampling standards.

1. the number of samples: the square root of the total number of yards multiplied by eight.

2. the number of boxes: the square root of the total number of boxes.

II. Four points system inspection.

A. All warp and weft defects in the same code deducted no more than 4 points.

B. the size of the hole does not ask 4 points.

C. the edge of the cloth within an inch does not deduct points.

D. Continuous defects shall be cut or downgraded outside the product.

E. Any hole larger than a pinhole is deducted 4 points.

F. Whether warp or weft, no matter what defects, the principle of visible, and according to the defect score to give the correct deduction of points.

G. In addition to special provisions (such as coating on the adhesive cloth), usually only the front side of the cloth should be inspected.

III. There are two methods of calculating the grade.

A. Calculated on the basis of line length.

100M deduction not more than 50 points for A grade (for the acceptable range).

100M deductions more than 50 points for B level. (for the unacceptable range).

B. Calculated on the basis of square yards: forty points per hundred square yards (for the acceptable range), total defect score * 3600 / actual length of the checked cloth * actual cloth width (inches).

Rejection criteria.

1．A cloth with defective score over forty points.

2．The standard blemish of the whole large goods exceeds 20 points.

3． Faults appear in three meters or more in a row, regardless of the number of fault scores.

Ten-point system inspection:

1. warp fault deduction method:

1" below deduct 1 point 1"-5" deduct 3 points 5"-10 "deduct 5 points 10"-36" between deduct 10 points 

Latitudinal deduction method:

1 point below 1 "- 5" deducted 3 points 5 "- 5 points between half width 10 points are deducted for more than half width.

Scoring principles of defects.

A. All warp and weft defects in the same yard will be deducted no more than 10 points.

B. 10 points will be deducted for holes without asking the size.

C. No deduction of points within half an inch of the edge of the cloth.

D. Continuous defects shall be cut or downgraded outside the product.

E. Any hole larger than a pinhole is deducted 10 points.

F. Whether warp or weft, no matter what defects, are visible as a principle, and according to the defect score to give the correct deduction of points.

G. In addition to special provisions (such as coating on the adhesive cloth), usually only the front side of the cloth should be inspected.

IV. the grade calculation method.

1. Acceptable range = total score less than the total number of yards.

2. 100 yards of deductions shall not exceed one hundred points.
