ASTM D3209 Dimensional Stability of Knitted Fabrics After Washing Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

The ASTM D3209 Dimensional Stability of Knitted Fabrics After Washing testing service is governed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard, which outlines the procedures for evaluating the dimensional stability of knitted fabrics after washing. This standard is widely recognized and adopted globally, with equivalent standards in other countries such as ISO 13934-1:2013, EN 22762:2005, and TSE IIS 117:2018.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The ASTM D3209 standard is referenced in various national and international regulations, including:

  • European Union (EU) textile directives

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

  • Technical specifications for specific industries such as textiles, apparel, and home textiles

    • International and National Standards

    The following standards are relevant to ASTM D3209 Dimensional Stability of Knitted Fabrics After Washing testing:

  • ISO 13934-1:2013 - Textiles - Tests for colour fastness - Part 1: Colour fastness to washing

  • EN 22762:2005 - Textiles - Methods for determining the dimensional change in width and length after washing

  • TSE IIS 117:2018 - Textiles - Dimensional stability of knitted fabrics after washing

    • Standard Development Organizations

    ASTM is a globally recognized standards development organization that collaborates with other organizations, such as ISO, to develop and publish standards. ASTMs membership includes over 30,000 professionals from diverse industries.

    Standards Evolution and Update
