Application files need different inputs

Performance apparel knit sample

Apparel and uniforms

Record fiber route, yarn count or denier, knit or weave, GSM, fit, body proximity, color, finish, care cycle, use duration, and the intended wellness sentence.

Bedding textile layers

Sleep and bedding

Separate mattress ticking, sheet, pillow, cover, insulation, and topical print. Note intervening layers, laundering, contact duration, and whether the cited study used the same construction.

Upholstery performance textile

Upholstery and interiors

Evaluate distance from occupants, backing, lamination, abrasion, cleaning chemistry, flame requirements, emission protocol, and whether a human endpoint is relevant to actual exposure.

Footwear liner material

Footwear and socks

Document anatomical site, layer stack, compression, moisture, wash cycle, wear duration, and the exact healthy or clinical population used in any cited research.

Medical supply textile specimen

Medical-supply context

Do not infer treatment, healing, pain reduction, or disease outcomes from general-wellness language. Product classification and claims require exact jurisdictional and intended-use review.

Animal care textile sample

Animal-care textiles

Human-study endpoints cannot be transferred automatically to animals. Specify species, construction, exposure, welfare oversight, and applicable evidence before describing a benefit.

Compare the planned product with the evidence specimen

Product-development record

  • Carrier chemistry and supplier document
  • Embedded or topical print route
  • Fiber, yarn, knit or weave construction
  • GSM, color, finish, backing, and layer stack
  • Care, abrasion, exposure, and useful-life conditions
  • Target country and exact consumer-facing wording

Study or test record

  • Specimen composition and prescribed loading
  • Comparator and conditioning
  • Method, equipment, wavelength, and temperature
  • Population, anatomical site, duration, and sample size
  • Endpoint, uncertainty, result, and limitations
  • Funding, publication, and document date

A match must be demonstrated; it should never be assumed from the CELLIANT name alone.

Map the application before comparing results

A precise construction brief makes it possible to find the right official document and to identify where a new product-specific test may be needed.
