Key takeaways EU Digital Product Passport planning for textiles highlighted the need for machine-readable product data and verifiable test evidence. European Parliament AATCC issued a 2025 update to its Manual, and ISO released new methods covering antifungal activity and nonwovens mechanical penetration. Labs should refresh SOPs and control plans. ISO+3aatcc.org+3aatcc.org+3 Certification and chemical management tightened. OEKO-TEX announced 2025 regulation changes. ZDHC’s M

Key takeaways Anchor your workflow to recognised methods. Use IWTO-47 for wool diameter and IWTO-62 for length and diameter in tops and slivers for traceable results. member.iwto.org+1 Build your quality system around ISO/IEC 17025 and report measurement uncertainty using the GUM. This improves confidence and comparability. ISO+1 Set calibration intervals based on risk, stability and use. NIST does not mandate a single fixed interval. NIST Use Interwoollabs IH Standards for O

Key takeaways Wool labs and mills use OFDA under recognised IWTO methods for diameter and, in tops and slivers, true length distribution. member.iwto.org+1 Peer-reviewed alpaca studies show fibre diameter and variability are key selection traits, reinforcing the value of objective distribution data. Frontiers New research identifies OFDA as a promising high-throughput tool for hemp fibre diameter measurement, supporting textiles and composites work. Taylor & Francis Online+1
