Slide fasteners (zips) - Specification

This European Standard specifies performance levels and test methods for the following characteristics of slide fasteners made from interlocking components mounted on tapes: strengths of puller attachment, closed-end, top stop, open-end slide fastener box, reciprocating mechanism, closed slide fastener when extended laterally, open-end attachment when extended laterally, slider locking device, and open-end slide fastener single stringer slider retention and slider resistance to torque.
NOTE    The tests specified in Annexes B to K have been specifically devised to permit their direct application to finished slide fasteners with a view to giving the user reasonable assurance that a slide fastener conforming to the requirements of this Standard can satisfactorily fulfil its intended purpose. Annex L gives information about sampling procedures for bulk quantities of slide fasteners.
In addition, performance levels are also specified for colour fastness to washing, dry cleaning and water, and for dimensional stability to washing and dry cleaning.
This European Standard is applicable to slide fasteners for general use and is not applicable to slide fasteners for specialist purposes ( for example: pressure sealed slide fasteners for diving suits).

Reißverschlüsse - Spezifikation

Diese Europäische Norm legt Leistungsstufen und Prüfverfahren für die folgenden Eigenschaften von Reißverschlüssen fest, die aus auf Textilbänder befestigten ineinandergreifenden Komponenten hergestellt wurden: Abreißfestigkeit des Schiebergriffs, Festigkeit des unteren Begrenzungsteils, Festigkeit des oberen Begrenzungsteils, Festigkeit des Kastenteils eines teilbaren Reißverschlusses, Querfestigkeit nach Dauerlaufprüfung, Querfestigkeit des Reißverschlusses und des Teilbarkeitselementes, Haltekraft der Schiebersperre und Schieberabzugfestigkeit bei geöffnetem teilbaren Reißverschluss sowie Torsionsfestigkeit des Schiebers gegen Drehkraft.
ANMERKUNG   Die in den Anhängen B bis K festgelegten Prüfungen wurden eigens entwickelt, um ihre direkte Anwendung auf fertige Reißverschlüsse im Hinblick darauf zu ermöglichen, dem Anwender die angemessene Sicherheit bieten zu können, dass ein Reißverschluss, welcher die Anforderungen dieser Norm erfüllt, seine vorgesehenen Verwendungen zufriedenstellend erfüllen kann. Anhang L gibt Informationen zur Probenahme von Reißverschlussmengen.
Zusätzlich werden Leistungsstufen für die Farbechtheit und Formbeständigkeit beim Waschen und bei Trockenreinigung festgelegt.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Reißverschlüsse zur allgemeinen Verwendung und gilt nicht für Reißverschlüsse für besondere Zwecke (z. B. druckversiegelte Reißverschlüsse an Tauchanzügen).

Fermetures à glissière - Spécifications

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les niveaux de performance et les méthodes d’essai pour les caractéristiques suivantes des fermetures à glissière comportant des composants s’emboîtant et montés sur des rubans : la résistance de la fixation de la tirette, de la réunion, de l'arrêt, du boîtier du système séparable, du mécanisme de va-et-vient, du système non séparable à la traction transversale, de la fixation de la réunion à la traction transversale, du système de blocage du curseur, du maintien du curseur sur une demi-chaîne de fermeture séparable et la résistance du curseur à la torsion.
NOTE   Les essais spécifiés dans les Annexes B à K ont été conçus expressément pour une application directe à des fermetures à glissière à l'état fini, en vue de fournir à l'utilisateur l'assurance raisonnable qu'une fermeture à glissière conforme aux exigences de la présente norme peut remplir de manière satisfaisante la fonction pour laquelle elle est prévue. L’Annexe L donne des informations sur les modes opératoires d'échantillonnage pour de grandes quantités de fermetures à glissière.
En outre, des niveaux de performance sont également déterminés pour la solidité des teintures au lavage, au nettoyage à sec et à l'eau, et pour la stabilité dimensionnelle au lavage et au nettoyage à sec.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux fermetures à glissière d'usage courant et ne s'applique pas aux fermetures à glissière destinées à des applications spéciales (par exemple : fermetures à glissière étanches destinées aux combinaisons de plongée).

Patentne zadrge - Specifikacija

Ta evropski standard določa ravni učinkovitosti in preskusne metode za naslednje značilnosti
patentnih zadrg, izdelanih iz spojenih komponent, pritrjenih na trakovih: trpežnosti vlečnega nastavka, zaprtega konca, zgornjega končnika, ohišja patentne zadrge ob odprtem koncu, mehanizma za povratno premikanje, zaprte patentne zadrge (ob vodoravnem razprtju), nastavka na odprtem koncu (ob vodoravnem razprtju), zaklepa drsnika in držala drsnika na posamezni zapenjači patentne zadrge ob odprtem koncu ter odpornost drsnika na navor.
OPOMBA: Preskusi, navedeni v dodatkih B do K, so bili posebej zasnovani tako, da omogočajo neposredno uporabo za dokončane patentne zadrge z namenom, da daje uporabniku smiselno zagotovilo, da zadrga, ki izpolnjuje zahteve tega standarda, zadovoljivo služi svojemu predvidenemu namenu. Dodatek L vključuje informacije o postopkih vzorčenja za velike količine patentnih zadrg.
Poleg tega so določene tudi ravni učinkovitosti za odpornost barv na pranje, sušenje in vodo
ter za dimenzijsko odpornost na pranje in sušenje. Ta evropski standard se uporablja za patentne zadrge za splošno uporabo in ne za patentne zadrge za posebne namene (primer: tlačno zatesnjene zadrge pri potapljaški obleki).

Guidance on the factors to be considered when specifying slide fasteners is given in Annex A. 5 Conditioning and testing 5.1 Conditioning of test samples Prior to being subjected to the tests specified in 5.2 to 5.11, sample slide fasteners shall first be conditioned for minimum of 16 h and then tested in the reference standard atmosphere for testing textiles as defined in EN ISO 139 [ i.e. a temperature of (20 ± 2) °C and a relative humidity of (65 ± 4) %]. 5.2 Slide fastener length measurement The length tolerance for slide fasteners compared with the nominal length shall be ±1,5 % or ± 5 mm (whichever is the greater), unless otherwise specified between parties. The slide-fastener length shall be measured on a smooth flat surface using a one-millimetre graduated ruler. 5.3 Strength of puller at
