ISO 1973 Classification of Textile Fibers Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

The classification of textile fibers is a crucial aspect of the textile industry, ensuring that fabrics meet specific requirements for performance, safety, and compliance with regulations. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has established standards to govern this testing process. ISO 1973:2004(E) - Textiles - Determination of fibre characteristics - Part 1: Identification of fibres by chemical and physical methods is the primary standard that outlines the procedures for classifying textile fibers.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 1973 Classification of Textile Fibers testing is governed by national and international standards. In Europe, for example, the European Standard EN 13034:2015 - Textiles - Determination of fibre characteristics - Part 1: Identification of fibres by chemical and physical methods outlines similar procedures to those in ISO 1973.

Standard Development Organizations

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing international standards, including ISO 1973. The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) also plays a significant role in developing European standards, such as EN 13034. Other organizations, like the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), develop standards specific to North America.

Standard Evolution and Updates

Standards evolve over time as new technologies emerge, and existing ones are refined. ISO 1973:2004(E) has undergone revisions since its initial publication in 1995. The current edition was published in 2004 and includes updates on testing procedures and equipment.
