ASTM D4116-95a

Standard Performance Specification for Women's and Girls' Knitted and Woven Corset-Girdle-Combination Fabrics

SCOPE
1.1 This performance specification covers woven and knitted fabrics composed of any textile fiber or mixture of fibers used in corsets, girdles or a combination of the same.  
1.2 This performance specification is not applicable to knitted or woven corset-girdle-combination fabrics, to knitted lace fabrics, and to fabrics used for interlinings.  
1.3 These requirements apply to the length and width directions for those properties where each fabric direction is pertinent.  
1.4  This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
