NOTE            Les conditions de lavage des produits finis textiles sont indiquées par l’étiquetage d’entretien conformément à l’ISO 3758.
Le présent document est applicable aux produits finis textiles (incluant les produits textiles destinés aux consommateurs, tels que les vêtements molletonnés, chemises, pantalons, chemisiers, etc.) et aux produits finis textiles domestiques (tels que les couvertures, tapis, rideaux, etc.) confectionnés à partir de fibres de tous types telles que des fibres naturelles et les fibres chimiques, y compris un mélange des fibres, qui peuvent être lavés dans un lave-linge domestique.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux étoffes et produits textiles découpés. Il ne couvre pas non plus l’essai des lave-linges et des détergents.

Tekstilije in tekstilni izdelki - Mikroplastika iz tekstilnih virov - 3. del: Merjenje mase zbranega materiala, sproščenega iz končnih tekstilnih izdelkov pri metodi pranja v gospodinjstvu (ISO 4484-3:2023)

Ta dokument določa metodo za merjenje mase zbranega materiala, ki se med postopkom pranja sprosti skozi izhodno cev standardnega pralnega stroja, kot je opisano v standardu ISO 6330.
OPOMBA: Pogoj pranja končnih tekstilnih izdelkov je naveden na etiketi o negi v skladu s standardom ISO 3758.
Ta dokument se uporablja za končne tekstilne izdelke (vključno s potrošniškimi tekstilnimi izdelki, kot so oblačila iz flisa, srajce, hlače, bluze itd.) in končne tekstilne izdelke za uporabo v gospodinjstvu (kot so odeje, preproge, zavese itd.), ki so v celoti sestavljeni iz vlaken, kot so naravna in umetna vlakna, vključno z mešanico vlaken, ki se jih sme prati v gospodinjskem pralnem stroju.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
