This tester is commonly used on textile specimens, especially dyed fabrics and printed textiles where dry or wet crocking colorfastness needs to be checked. It is also used for leather panels and other coated materials when the goal is to evaluate surface color transfer under controlled rubbing.

In practice, labs often run incoming material checks, production verification, and product development samples. The exact specimen format depends on the test method, the material construction, and whether you are comparing dry rubbing, wet rubbing, or both. That makes it a practical choice for apparel, upholstery, footwear, and leather goods workflows.
