Forensic examination of materials, substances and products
This examination is used when materials, substances, coatings, particles or products need to be examined to establish factual circumstances: origin, class or group classification, the presence of microparticles, contact traces, similarity to samples or the object's relevance to the case.
The website's main focus: 10.1 — examination of fibrous materials and products made from them; 10.2 — examination of paint materials and coatings.
Proper recovery, packaging and storage of objects are important: microparticles, fibres and coating traces are easily lost, transferred or contaminated.

Questions
Typical questions for an expert
- On fibres:
Are fibrous materials present on the object? What is their nature, type or group classification? - On paint materials:
Are the particles paint coating material? Do they belong to the same class or group as the sample? - Concerning contact:
Are there features of contact interaction between the objects based on the transfer of fibres, particles, deposits or coatings? - Concerning a review:
Are the findings of the previous examination substantiated, were the examination conditions observed, and are the samples sufficient?
Important: questions need to be formulated for the specific objects and case materials. Not all materials support a categorical identification finding.
