The work of developing International Standards is carried out through IS0 Technical Committees. Every Member Body interested in a subject for which a Technical Committee has been set up has the right to be represented on that Committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the Technica! Committees are circulated to the Member Bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the IS0 Council. International Standard IS0 2959 was drawn up by Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, Textiles, and circulated to the Member Bodies in November 1972. It has been approved by the Member Bodies of the following countries : Australia Belgium Brazi I Canada Czechoslovakia Denmark Egypt, Arab Rep. of Finland Germany The Members Bodies of the document on technical grounds Hungary India Iran Israel Japan Poland Portugal Romania South Africa, Rep. of Spain Sweden Switzerland Thai land Turkey United Kingdom U.S.A.

It is not intended that the list of parameters should be exclusive and additional information can be given as required. It is applicable to all woven fabrics except textile floor coverings. 2 REFERENCES IS0 I I 39, Textiles - Designation of yarns. IS0 I 833, Textiles - Binary fibre mixtures - Quantitative chemical analysis. IS0 2076, Generic names for man-made fibres. 3 FABRIC PARAMETERS 3.1 State of fabric For example loomstate, bleached, dyed. 3.2 Composition 3.2.1 Generic names of man-made fibres shall be used as given in IS0 2076. 3.2.2 In the case of fabrics composed of only one kind of fibrous material, state the generic name of the fibre. 3.2.3 In the case of fabrics consisting of warp threads and weft threads composed of different kinds of fibrous material, state the generic names of both fibres separately. 3.2.4 In all cases, state the percentage by mass, together with the generic tjcime of each component fibre type in the order of predominance. For the calculation and expression of results, see IS0 1833. 3.3 Designation of yarns In accordance with IS0 1139. 3.4 Threads per unit length State for both warp and weft. 3.5 Weave An International Standard on weave descriptions is in preparation. 3.6 Warp and weft arrangement If applicable. 3.7 Fabric width State overall and/or useable width, as relevant. 3.8 Mass per unit area 3.9 Processing particulars If applicable. For example bleached, dyed, printed, machanically shrunk, etc., as appropriate. EXAMPLE Fabric description for a type of polyester/cotton poplin is as follows : a) State of fabric : dyed. b) Composition : 67 % polyester, 33 % cotton. c) Yarn designation : warp - I5 tex Z 950; weft - I5 tex Z 950. d) Threads per unit length : warp - 50 per cm; weft - 26 per cm. e) Weave : plain. f) Width : 90 cm overall. g) Mass : I I5 g/m?. h) Processing particulars : piece dyed, khaki, mechanically shrunk, and heat set.
