Historically, cotton has been classed manually by skilled workers who distinguish between the various grades of cotton based on Color, Trash (leaf) content, length of fibers and strength (to name a few). In more recent years, companies such as Uster-Zellweger and Premier have produced commercial equipment which test samples automatically.

In the past couple of years, there has been a drive to standardise the result formats and testing parameters of these machines. This move is known as the Standardisation of Instrument Testing of Cotton, or SITC.
