Cabinet roller towels - Performance requirements and processing

This Standard specifies requirements for the following:
a) Three categories of cabinet towel, the categories being defined in terms of mass per unit area and tensile strength of the fabric; certain constructional and performance requirements are also covered.
b) Process validation procedures to ensure that cabinet towels achieve the condition of hygienic  cleanliness in processing.
It also contains informative annexes containing the following:
- an example of suitable fabric structure,
- recommendations for the care, use and transportation of cabinet towels after processing,
- examples of key process variables for disinfection,
- the preparation and application of bioindicators for the validation of the process to achieve hygienic cleanliness.
The colour fastness to washing test and the requirement level are based on the assumption that chlorine bleaching treatments will not be used in laundering.

Serviettes textiles essuie-mains en bobine pour distributeur - Critères de performance et traitement

Domaine d'application
La présente Norme Européenne spécifie des exigences concernant :
a) trois catégories d'essuie-mains pour distributeur, les catégories étant définies en termes de masse par unité de surface et de résistance à la rupture de l'étoffe ; certains critères de construction et de performance sont également couverts ;
b) les procédures de validation pour s'assurer que les essuie-mains pour distributeur remplissent bien les conditions de propreté hygiénique au cours du traitement ;
Elle contient également un certain nombre d'annexes informatives regroupant :
¾ un exemple d'armure adaptée ;
¾ des recommandations relatives à l'entretien, l'utilisation et au transport des essuie-mains pour distributeur après traitement ;
¾ des exemples de variables de processus clés pour la désinfection ;
¾ la préparation et l'application de bio-indicateurs pour la validation de la procédure en vue de l'obtention de la propreté hygiénique.
La solidité des teintures à l'essai de lavage et le niveau d'exigence reposent sur l'hypothèse qu'aucun traitement de décoloration par le chlore ne sera utilisé lors du blanchissage.

the hands.4.1.2 Strength and selvedgesThe towel needs to have sufficient strength (see Table 1) to withstand the pulling action exerted whenthe towel is rolled and unrolled as well as when the hands are wiped and dried by the user. Selvedgesneed to be constructed so the towel rolls and unrolls correctly within the dispenser for which it isdesigned (See 4.2.2.2).4.1.3 Wiping functionIn order to wipe the hands effectively the towel needs to be readily moulded by the hands and fingers,exert sufficient friction to feel comfortable when in contact with the skin, and present an irregularsurface to improve the removal of residual substances from the hands. These attributes can only beassessed subjectively.SIST EN 13569:2001

The requirements of Table 1 apply totowels, which have been bleached in manufacture, and prior to the first processing (see 4.1.5) inthe laundry.NOTEBleaching by the manufacturer before supply to the laundry is the more common practice. If theconditions of supply vary, then the point at which the performance requirements apply will vary also and someammendment of the values given in Table 1 may be needed.b) Dyed fabrics shall also comply with the requirements shown in Table 2.SIST EN 13569:2001

However, particular types of dispenser may require towels ofdifferent dimensions.The towel shall be capable of being loaded in such a way that it will allow the dispenser, for which it isdesigned, to function properly without causing any blockage.4.4 Specifications4.4.1 Performance in serviceTable 3 denotes the fabric specification for all cabinet towels at the time of every supply to the end-user whilst compliance with this Standard is claimed.Table 3 — Fabric properties at the time of every supplyLiquidabsorbencetimepHHygieniccleanlinessPresentationsmax. 54,6 to 7,8See 4.1.5 and clause 6The towel shall be finished,dry, rolled and fit for purpose,which includes its use in thedispenserEN 1644-1 :1997annex BEN 1413The towel shall be free from unacceptable stains (as defined in the contract with the customer).5 TestingSampling frequency shall be as agreed in the contract between the parties.From each roll to be tested a laboratory sample shall be cut, from a position taken at random, but atleast 3 m from the end of the roll.The laboratory sample shall be large enough to provide test specimens for all the tests required bythis standard.6 Towel processing6.1 Hygienic processing of towelsThis Standard requires that hygienic cleanliness shall be achieved during the washing and finishingprocess.
