3.5 Visual shade matching. The color and appearance of the finished thread, after removal of finish (see 3.4), shall match the standard sample when viewed using AATCC Evaluation Procedure 9, Option A, with sources stimulating artificial daylight D75 illuminant with a color temperature of 7500 K ± 200, with illumination of 100 foot candles ± 20, and shall be a good match to the standard sample under incandescent lamplight at 2856K ± 200.
3.6 Finishing materials. The finished thread shall have no chemical finishes or treatments other than those commonly used, i.e. water-repellent, etc, on commercial threads which have been demonstrated to have no deleterious effects on the fiber, including effects of prolonged storage. No finish or treatment shall be applied for the purpose of increasing breaking strength. There shall be no noticeable wicking of the treatment on the thread to adjacent material when sewn.
3.7 Toxicity. The finished thread shall not present a health hazard and shall show compatibility with prolonged, direct skin contact when tested as specified in 3.7.1. Chemicals recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as human carcinogens shall not be used.
3.7.1 Toxicity test. When required (see 7.3), an acute dermal irritation study and a skin sensitization study shall be conducted on laboratory animals. When the results of the studies indicate the thread is not a sensitizer or irritant, a Repeat Insult Patch Test shall be performed in accordance with the Modified Draize Procedure. (See 7.1.5) If the toxicity requirement (see
3.7) can be demonstrated with historical use data, toxicity testing may not be required.

The thread shall be wound around the specified holder in one continuous piece, so that each turn and layer is free of entanglement. The outside ending of the thread shall be secured to prevent unwinding, loosening, or slippage during handling, shipping, or storage.
3.9 Labeling. Each holder shall have a label, adhered securely so as to remain in place and be clearly legible until all thread has been removed. The label shall be printed and include information related to twists per inch, color, size (TEX or ticket number), name of thread manufacturer, weight, and nomenclature specifying fiber and construction type.
3.10 Workmanship. The finished thread shall conform to the quality of product established by this document. The thread shall average not more than one full thread knot or splice per 1,000 yards.
