Comprehensive Guide to ISO 12947 Fiber Identification Using FTIR Spectroscopy Testing Services

ISO 12947 is a laboratory testing standard that specifies the requirements for the identification of fibers using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which brings together experts from around the world to develop and maintain standards that promote global trade, economic growth, and innovation.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The ISO 12947 testing service is governed by various national and international standards, regulations, and laws. For instance:

  • In Europe, the standard is harmonized with the European Unions (EU) New Approach Directives, which aim to simplify the regulatory framework for technical products.

  • In the United States, the standard is aligned with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards for fiber identification.

  • In Turkey, the standard complies with the Turkish Standards Institutions (TSE) national standards for laboratory testing.

    • International and National Standards

    The following international and national standards apply to ISO 12947 Fiber Identification Using FTIR Spectroscopy testing:

  • ISO 12947:2016(E) - Textiles -- Determination of fiber identification by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

  • ASTM D5493-14 - Standard Practice for Qualitative Analysis of Fibers in Textile Products by Infrared Spectroscopy

  • EN 14119:2014 - Textiles Determination of fiber identification by Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) spectroscopy

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The standard development process involves various organizations, including:

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

  • ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution)
