kohdekudokset

Kohdekudokset is a Finnish term used in textile production to denote a defined set of reference fabrics used as target samples in quality control and testing. The term emphasizes that these fabrics act as benchmarks against which other materials, lots, or processes are measured. In practice, kohdekudokset are selected to represent typical material properties of a product line, such as fiber content, weave, weight, and finishing.

In testing and production, kohdekudokset serve several purposes. They are used to calibrate dyeing and finishing equipment, to assess dye uptake and colorfastness, and to monitor changes in performance over time. They also function as reference standards for comparing batches and suppliers, enabling objective evaluation of changes caused by process variation or material sourcing.

Kohdekudokset are usually fabricated in common weave types (plain, twill, satin) and from standard fiber systems (cotton, polyester, blends). They may carry different finishes or treatments to simulate real goods, such as chemical finishes, mechanical abrasion, or printing. The exact composition and treatment depend on the test requirements and the target product category.

The term is primarily used in Finnish textile industry documentation and procurement, and its precise meaning can vary by company or lab. In international contexts, kohdekudokset are generally understood as standard reference fabrics used for quality control, testing, and comparison of textile materials and processes.
