The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) is a not-for-profit association that provides test method development, quality control materials, and professional networking for textile professionals throughout the world. ==Activities== AATCC has developed more than 200 textile-related test methods and evaluation procedures. These methods are published each year in the ''AATCC Technical Manual''.〔("Test Method Information" )〕 AATCC also manages several functions relating to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) textile test method development (AATCC is secretary of ISO TC38 SC1〔("ISO TC38 SC1" )〕 and SC2〔(ISO TC38 SC2" )〕) on behalf of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).〔("Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs), ANSI" )〕 AATCC offers test method training in 11 locations around the globe, test method proficiency programs, and quality control products for use in conducting its test methods. AATCC publishes a journal, ''AATCC Review'',〔("AATCC Review and Media" )〕 containing technical articles, peer-reviewed research, and news for textile professionals. A monthly newsletter is distributed by e-mail. Other publications include books, training CDs, and online instruction. The association conducts educational programs such as workshops, seminars, conferences, and symposia on many aspects of textiles.〔("Programs" )〕 Proficiency programs are available for labs to participate in. Each year, AATCC honors outstanding members and the greater textile community with a number of awards, including the Olney Medal for outstanding achievement in textile chemistry. The Millson Award for Invention recognizes outstanding contributions to textile technology, the Harold C. Chapin Award is presented for exemplary service to AATCC, and the J. William Weaver Paper of the Year Award goes to the authors of the best peer-reviewed manuscript published in ''AATCC Review'' during the year. Students may compete for several awards including a research paper competition, a fabric and textile product design competition, and a materials design competition.〔("Student Events" )〕 AATCC Foundation Inc. was established in 1997 and operates independently in the furtherance of the charitable mission of the association by providing scholarships and research grants to undergraduate and graduate students studying textiles and related fields.〔("AATCC Foundation Inc." )〕 AATCC works in cooperation with other textile associations including the Textile Institute (UK), Asociación Argentina de Químicos y Coloristas Textiles (Argentina), and the China Textile Information Center (China). Together with its counterpart in the United Kingdom, the Society of Dyers and Colourists, AATCC maintains the Colour Index International, a reference database of pigments and dyes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
