Standard Terminology Relating to Fastener Subassemblies Used in the Manufacture of Textiles
SCOPE
1.1 This standard identifies terminology related to subassemblies which are categorized as any component that is used in the construction or assembly of a textile product. Subassemblies can be in the form of components used as closures (for example, slide fasteners, buttons, snap fasteners, hook and loop (touch) fasteners) or methods used to join textile sections (for example, stitches and seams).
1.2 Terms relating to Buttons are found in Section 3.
1.3 Terms relating to Hook and Loop (Touch) fasteners are in Section 4.
1.4 Terms relating to Snap Fasteners are found in Section 5.
1.5 Terms relating to Slide Fasteners are found in Section 6.
1.6 For other terms related to textiles, refer to Terminology D123.
1.7 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.8 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
