ISO 13936-3 Dimensional Stability of Textiles – Part 3: Relaxation Shrinkage

ISO 13936-3 Dimensional Stability of Textiles Part 3: Relaxation Shrinkage Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

The dimensional stability of textiles is a critical parameter that determines the performance, comfort, and durability of textile products. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed a series of standards to evaluate the dimensional stability of textiles, including ISO 13936-3:2018, Dimensional Stability of Textiles Part 3: Relaxation Shrinkage.

Introduction to ISO 13936-3

ISO 13936-3 is a standard that specifies the method for determining the relaxation shrinkage of textiles. Relaxation shrinkage is the change in dimensions of a fabric due to relaxation after being subjected to a specified amount of tension or deformation. This standard applies to all types of textiles, including woven, knitted, and non-woven fabrics.

Scope of ISO 13936-3

The scope of ISO 13936-3 includes the following:

Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

The development of standards is a collaborative effort between standard development organizations (SDOs) and industry stakeholders. In the case of ISO 13936-3, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed this standard in collaboration with textile manufacturers, suppliers, and testing laboratories.
