	abstract = {The paper aims to highlight the quality level of technical fabrics by determining synthetic indicators based on durability
and comfort functions, which can subsequently be used for modelling the physico-mechanical properties and selecting
the most suitable fabrics to meet the requirements of a specific field of use. The study was conducted on two groups of
technical fabrics with different compositions (Kevlar and Nomex), intended to manufacture firefighter protective
equipment (jackets). Quality indicators represent numerical expressions of the quality level of a product or the relative
expression of a certain characteristic, obtained by comparing it to a reference value (norm, standard, model). Quality
indicators are converted into grades I  [0,1], where conventionally, a grade of 0 represents an inadequate product/non-
quality, and a grade of 1 represents a superior quality level. The synthetic indicators determined in this study express
the quality level of a product through the prism of categories/subcategories of quality characteristics representative of
evaluating the comfort and durability functions specific to the groups of fabrics intended for the manufacture of protective
equipment. Based on the values obtained for the synthetic indicators, a ranking of fabric variants is made according to
the importance of durability and comfort characteristics. Thus, optimal fabric variants from each group can be
highlighted, and solutions for improving the quality level for other variants can be proposed.},
