Practical 1B: Paired fabric comparison

Practice a visual comparison under the specified sources and record it fully.

Materials

  • Paired fabric samples with their reference
  • Viewing equipment with the light sources specified by the applicable procedure
  • Paired comparison worksheet

Setup

  • Confirm the viewing equipment is maintained and the specified sources are available.
  • Prepare sample and reference in the same orientation and layering.

Safety / limits: If the specified viewing equipment is not available, complete the setup section of the worksheet only and leave the shade result marked 'unverified'. Do not substitute window daylight.

Steps

  1. Record the reference ID and the light source in use.
  2. Place sample and reference side by side as the procedure describes.
  3. Record lightness, hue direction and chroma observations separately.
  4. Repeat under each specified source and record each result.

Expected evidence

  • One row per specified source
  • Conditions recorded for each observation

Trainer section — not for learner answers

Debrief prompts

  • Were observations separated and conditions recorded?
  • Did the trainee report a change under different light rather than averaging it away?

Left blank intentionally. Only the trainer completes this section after observing the practical.

This is general training, not a universal acceptance standard. Final product decisions use the applicable Brand specification, approved sample, agreed defect list and authorized sampling or test plan.
