Textil- och läderteknik
This document specifies a thermal method and a gravimetric method for a quantitative determination of the certain synthetic materials (polyester, polyamide, acrylic, elastane, polypropylene and polyethylene) released from fabrics under washing test conditions.
This method is applicable to synthetic fabric and synthetic/natural blended fabric
- Synthetic/cellulosic fabrics (e.g. PET/Cotton, Nylon/Cotton, Acrylic/Cotton)
- Synthetic/protein fabrics (e.g. PET/Wool, Nylon/Wool, Acrylic/Wool)
This document defines the generic names used to designate the different categories of man-made fibres, based on a main polymer, currently manufactured on an industrial scale for textile and other purposes, together with the distinguishing attributes that characterize them. The term “man-made fibres” has been adopted for those fibres obtained by a manufacturing process, as distinct from materials which occur naturally in fibrous form.
This document gives recommendations of rules for the creation of the generic name (see Annex A).
NOTE These rules have been introduced in the sixth edition of ISO 2076, and thus, they are not applicable to the existing generic names of the previous editions.
