Foreword
This document (EN 4408-005:2005) has been prepared by the European Association of Aerospace
Manufacturers - Standardization (AECMA-STAN).
After enquiries and votes carried out in accordance with the rules of this Association, this Standard has
received the approval of the National Associations and the Official Services of the member countries of
AECMA, prior to its presentation to CEN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn
at the latest by November 2005.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
This document makes reference to textile standards which quote two types of seams, these being:
 assembly seam;
 reinforcing seam.
The assembly seam undergoes a mechanical effort which is not the case of the holding seam. This distinction
may appear necessary in the case of dry fabrics, whereas in aerospace applications there is a systematic
curing or densification, therefore it would appear difficult to distinguish them as far as the ready-for-use
product is concerned.
The technical definition of seams is required for reinforcing seams.
1 Scope
This standard specifies the representation of seams of composite materials as well as the information to be
indicated in technical drawings.
It is applicable to aerospace structures using items linked by seams in dry fabrics, prepregs, film, etc.
It shall be used together with EN 4408-001.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 4408-001, Aerospace series – Technical drawings – Representation of parts made of composite materials
– Part 1: General rules.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 4408-001 and the following apply.
3.1
assembly seam (retention)
it cannot endure any notable effort in using the item
3.2
fibre grafting
action of changing the direction of fibres in an element with or without penetration in another element
3.3
lacing
liaison obtained by a continuous link passed through previously perforated holes
3.4
needling
consolidation of a fibre lap by entanglement using numerous penetrations of spring needles
Needling is a means of fibre grafting (see Figure 1).
