Textiles - Sampling of fibres, yarns and fabrics for testing

This European Standard specifies several methods for preparing laboratory samples of fibres, yarns or fabrics and presents a limited treatment of the problem of drawing specimens for testing. The principle of each method is given at the beginning of the clause dealing with the method. It is not possible for the coverage of each individual procedure to be fully comprehensive; in many instances, the selection of test samples or test specimens is necessarily covered by the appropriate method of test.

Textilien - Probenahme von Fasern, Garnen und textilen Flächengebilden für Prüfungen

Diese Europäische Norm legt mehrere Verfahren zur Vorbereitung der Laboratoriumsproben von Fasern, Garnen oder textilen Flächengebilden fest und behandelt Umfang die Probenahme für die Prüfung. Das Prinzip jedes Verfahrens wird am Anfang des betreffenden Abschnittes erläutert. Es ist nicht möglich, jedes einzelne Verfahren ausfürhlich zu beschreiben; notwendigerweise ist in vielen Fällen die Auswahl der Meßproben oder Prüflinge durch das entsprechende Prüfverfahren vorgegeben.

Textiles - Echantillonnage des fibres, des fils et des étoffes en vue des essais

La présente norme européenne spécifie plusieurs méthodes pour la préparation d'échantillons pour laboratoire de fibres, de fils et d'étoffe et donne certaines indications relatives aux prélèvements d'éprouvettes en vue des essais. Le principe de chaque méthode figure au début de l'article correspondant. Il n'est pas possible de préciser, de manière complète, le domaine d'application de chacun des modes d'échantillonnage; dans de nombreux cas, le mode approprié de prélèvement d'échantillons ou d'éprouvettes est nécessairement précisé dans la méthode elle-même.

Overview

EN 12751:1999 - Textiles: Sampling of fibres, yarns and fabrics for testing is a European (CEN) standard that specifies methods for preparing laboratory samples of fibres, yarns and textile fabrics. The standard describes the principle of each sampling method at the start of the relevant clause and provides a limited treatment of the related problem of drawing test specimens. EN 12751:1999 clarifies how to prepare representative samples for subsequent laboratory testing, while recognizing that specific sample selection is often governed by the relevant test method.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and purpose: Defines the intended use of the standard - preparation of samples for laboratory testing of fibres, yarns and fabrics.
• Sampling methods: Presents several standardized laboratory sampling procedures; each method’s principle is summarized at the beginning of its clause.
• Specimen drawing: Provides a limited discussion of how to draw specimens from prepared samples for testing (not a comprehensive specimen-design guideline).
• Relationship to test methods: Notes that selection of test samples or specimens is frequently determined by the specific test method standards applicable to the measurement being performed.
• Practical requirements: Emphasizes using standardized procedures to ensure representative, reproducible laboratory samples (follow the method described and document the sample preparation).
• Limitations: The standard is not exhaustive for every conceivable procedure; users must refer to the appropriate test method where necessary.

Applications

EN 12751:1999 is practical for any context where reliable textile testing depends on correct sample preparation:

• Quality control in textile mills and yarn production
• Independent textile testing laboratories and certification bodies
• Research and development in fibres, yarns and fabric engineering
• Contract testing and supplier verification programs

Who should use this standard

• Textile manufacturers seeking consistent sampling for factory and acceptance testing
• Laboratories performing standardized physical, chemical or performance tests on textiles
• Inspectors and auditors responsible for ensuring test sample traceability and representativeness
• Product developers and researchers who need reproducible sample preparation methods

Related standards

• EN 12751:1999 should be used alongside the specific textile test standards (EN or ISO) that define test specimen size, number and testing conditions. For comprehensive testing programs, consult the relevant test method standards that specify sample selection details.
