Safety of specific textile product may decide about the health of the user, and in special condition also about his life. Most popular textile product is clothing, which plays a very important role in human life, first of all giving the protection against external factors. For the potential user the process of making a selection of clothing is essential also in some psychological aspects. Everyone makes individual choices in this area, based on own preferences, but at the same time the large part of society is fashionable in a non-reflective and automated way. Safety of textile used in relation to articles of clothing, encompasses flammability and the ability to maintain smoking, smoke-generation and toxicity of combustion products, the ability to generate and accumulate static electricity, the release of the products in conditions of normal use certain substances with harmful effects on the human body and in any case hygiene, in particular water vapour permeability. The question of the safety of clothing is a multi-faceted, relating, inter alia, with the construction and technology of obtaining of textile products, but it should be noted that textiles are all the time more produced for the comfort of users, their health and safety.
