Course of action

Article Abstract:

The Association for Contract Textiles (ACT) aims to disseminate information about the contract textile industry's different aspects. In line with this thrust, the ACT officers have devised two programs to promote a better understanding of the textile industry and enhance the professional designers' education. The first program involves the formulation of industry standards which will establish the procedures and criteria for product specifications. The second program entails an video information campaign which deals with practical and tactical specification techniques.
