Introduction
The aim of this document is to assess the security of attachment of components except buttons and metal
mechanically applied press fasteners.
This document provides a method of test. A document providing performance specification for infants'
clothing is under development.
This document has been developed from Annex C of CEN/TR 16792:2014.
The method given in this document involves a washing and drying process and provides an example of a
wash to assess the durability of attachment of components. It is not to assess the performance of the
garment. For this reason, the test conditions are much more aggressive than the conditions used in
normal laundering. The following is an example of suitable a wash test which gives a very aggressive
wash action. At the time of drafting this document, an equivalent wash programme for the Wascator
washing machine, as specified in EN ISO 6330, is not available.
See Annex B for more details on the background and rationale.
1 Scope

4 Principle
A set of test specimens, and a reference specimen, are examined and a detailed record made of the
location, means of attachment and condition of all attached components. The test specimens are washed
and dried, while the reference specimen is retained without treatment. The attached components on the
test specimens are re-examined with reference to the records from the initial examination, and compared
with the reference specimen, and any changes recorded.
5 Sampling
For the selection of test specimens and reference specimen, a sufficient number of garments or garment
assemblies should be selected to enable testing of five specimens of the following:
— each type of attached component;
— each size of attached component; and
— each component/substrate combination.
It is recognized that this number of specimens might not always be available for testing at the
design/development stage. In such circumstances a smaller number may be taken but the test results
obtained should be interpreted with caution.
