— grey cashmere(G): cashmere shows grey, white and light brown colours, coarse hair shows light
brown and white or brown colour;

Formatted: Tab stops: Not at 0.76 cm
4.1 Product classification
Formatted: Tab stops: Not at 0.76 cm + 2.38 cm
Based on its natural colour, cashmere is classified into white, grey and brown cashmere, which is
expressed with letter W, G and B, respectively. The characteristics of each type is described as follows:
— white cashmere(W): both cashmere and coarse hair show natural white colour;
— grey cashmere(G): cashmere shows grey, white and light brown colours, coarse hair shows light
brown and white or brown colour;
— brown cashmere(B): cashmere shows brown colour, coarse hair shows dark brown colour.
In the case that different colour types are blended, colour class is assigned according to the darker one.
4.2 Product type
Formatted: Tab stops: Not at 0.76 cm + 2.38 cm
Pure virgin cashmere is classified into five types of A, B, C, D and E based on its corresponding mean
Formatted: English (United Kingdom)
fibre diameter range. It is further sub-classified by combining mean fibre length, short fibre content,
guard hair content and foreign matter content, as shown in Table 1.

4.3 Other quality parameters
Formatted: Tab stops: Not at 0.76 cm + 2.38 cm
All types of pure virgin cashmere shall meet the following requirements:
Formatted: English (United Kingdom)
a) Coefficient of variation (CV %) %) of mean fibre diameter ≤ 24 %;
Formatted: Tab stops: 0.7 cm, Left + 1.4 cm, Left + 2.1
cm, Left + 2.8 cm, Left + 3.5 cm, Left + 4.2 cm, Left +
b) No other animal fibre shall be present;
4.9 cm, Left + 5.6 cm, Left + 6.3 cm, Left + 7 cm, Left
c) Dark fibre number for white cashmere: Whiter in white type(L)≤ 15 dark fibres/5 g; Normal white
type(N):16-30 dark fibres/5 g;
d) pH value 6,0 to 7,5;
e) Residual surfactant APEO (OP, OPEO, NP, NPEO) shall be less than 50 mg/kg.
4.4 Quality labelling
Formatted: Tab stops: Not at 0.76 cm + 2.38 cm
Quality labelling codes of dehaired cashmere are composed of the English name of dehaired cashmere,
cashmere-d, colour code (see 4.1 and 4.3 c) for white cashmere only) and type code (see 4.2).
EXAMPLE: Dehaired white in white cashmere with mean fibre diameter 14,9 μm to 15,9 μm, mean fibre length
36,0 mm – 32,0 mm, short fibre content 19 % – 22 %, guard hair content ≤ 0,25 % - 0,30 %, foreign matter content
50 pcs/g, and other parameters meet all requirements described in 4.3, its quality labelling code is “cashmere-d-

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 non­governmental, 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 documents 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).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see
www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, Textiles, Subcommittee SC 23, Fibres
and yarns.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
