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

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 Upon agreement between the purchaser and the supplier, fabrics intended for this end use should meet all the requirements listed in Table 1 of this performance specification.  
5.2 It is recognized that for purposes of fashion or aesthetics the ultimate consumer of articles made from these fabrics may find acceptable fabrics that do not conform to all of the requirements in Table 1. Therefore, one or more of the requirements listed in Table 1 may be modified upon agreement between the purchaser and the supplier.  
5.2.1 In such cases, any references to the specification shall specify that: “This fabric meets ASTM Specification D4116 except for the following characteristic(s).”  
5.3 Where no prepurchase agreement has been reached between the purchaser and the supplier, and in case of controversy, the requirements listed in Table 1 are intended to be used as a guide only. As noted in 5.2, ultimate consumer demands dictate varying performance parameters for any particular style of fabric.  
5.4 The uses and significance of particular properties and methods are discussed in the appropriate sections of the specified methods.
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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.5 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.

Overview

ASTM D4116-20 is the Standard Performance Specification for Women’s and Girls’ Knitted and Woven Corset-Girdle-Combination Fabrics, developed by ASTM International. This international standard specifies the minimum performance requirements for fabrics used in the manufacture of corsets, girdles, and combination garments for women and girls. Covering both knitted and woven textiles made from any fiber or fiber blends, the standard ensures consistent quality, durability, and safety in end-use applications.

This standard provides a framework for quality agreements between textile suppliers and purchasers, supporting the needs of both fashion and functional garment markets within the apparel industry.

Key Topics

  • Scope of Application: Applies to both knitted and woven fabrics designed specifically for women’s and girls’ corset-girdle-combination garments.
  • Performance Requirements: Sets benchmarks for essential fabric properties such as breaking strength, bursting strength, tear strength, resistance to yarn slippage, dimensional stability, colorfastness, and flammability.
  • Customization and Flexibility: Allows modification of requirements to accommodate specific fashion or aesthetic needs upon agreement between purchaser and supplier, as long as exceptions are clearly specified.
  • Testing Methods: References standard ASTM and AATCC test methods to verify compliance for each property, including methods for measuring colorfastness, laundering effects, strength, and flammability.
  • Consumer Protection and Safety: Reiterates the responsibility of users to address safety, health, and environmental practices in accordance with national regulations.

Applications

ASTM D4116-20 is essential for the following textile industry stakeholders:

  • Fabric Manufacturers: Facilitates standardized production of women's and girls' corset and girdle fabrics that consistently meet market and regulatory expectations.
  • Apparel Brands and Designers: Provides a reliable benchmark for sourcing high-quality materials, enabling the development of garments with assured durability, comfort, and safety.
  • Purchasing Agents and Quality Assurance: Supports clear procurement specifications and quality control processes when negotiating supply contracts.
  • Textile Testing Laboratories: Guides accredited laboratories on the appropriate testing protocols for verifying fabric performance corresponding to this specification.
  • Retailers and Distributors: Enhances confidence in the compliance, safety, and performance of finished corset and girdle products for consumers.

Related Standards

For comprehensive fabric quality control and testing in apparel, refer to these related standards and test methods:

  • ASTM D123 - Terminology Relating to Textiles
  • ASTM D434 - Test Method for Resistance to Slippage of Yarns in Woven Fabrics
  • ASTM D2261, D2262 - Test Methods for Tearing Strength of Fabrics
  • ASTM D3786, D3787 - Test Methods for Bursting Strength of Textile Fabrics
  • ASTM D5034 - Test Method for Breaking Strength and Elongation of Textile Fabrics
  • AATCC Test Methods - Includes tests for colorfastness to crocking, laundering, light, perspiration, and bleach (e.g., AATCC TM8, TM15, TM16.3, TM23, TM61, TM135, TM172, TM188, TM116)
  • 16 CFR 1610 - Flammability regulations under the Flammable Fabrics Act

By adhering to ASTM D4116-20, organizations maintain quality assurance and regulatory compliance for fabrics used in women’s shapewear, ensuring durability, performance, and consumer safety throughout the product lifecycle. This performance specification remains integral for textile product development, quality sourcing, and marketplace competitiveness within the apparel sector.
