Introduction
The aim of this document is to assess the attachment strength of buttons.
This document provides a reference method of test for compliance assessment. A document providing
performance specification for infants' clothing is under development.For the convenience of the clothing industry, a simplified method is provided in Annex B for routine in-
house process control, however this does not replace the reference method.This document has been developed from Annex B of CEN/TR 16792:2014.

4 Method for determination of removal force of buttons
4.1 General
This is a laboratory-based method designed for testing of the security of attachments of buttons of all
kinds, both functional and decorative. It can be used to test finished garments or garment assemblies at
the relevant stages of garment design and production.4.2 Principle
An attached button is held in the upper grip of a constant rate of extension (CRE) tensile testing
machine and the garment or garment panel to which it is attached is held in the lower grip. The grips
are separated at a constant rate until the component is removed from the garment. The removal force
and the mode of detachment are recorded.---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
SIST EN 17394-2:2021
EN 17394-2:2020 (E)
4.3 Apparatus
4.3.1 Constant rate of extension (CRE) tensile-testing machine
The machine shall be provided with means for indicating and recording the force applied to the test
specimen in stretching it to rupture. The metrological confirmation system for the tensile testing
machine should be in accordance with EN ISO 10012. Under conditions of use, the accuracy of the
machine should be Class 1 in accordance with EN ISO 7500-1. The error of the indicated or recorded
maximum force at any point in the range in which the machine is used should not exceed 1 %. The
machine should be capable of maintaining a constant rate of extension of (100 ± 10) mm/min.
The machine should be such that it is possible to set the gauge length to any value between 1,0 mm and
75 mm, to an accuracy of 0,5 mm.4.3.2 Upper button box
Button box with a slotted plate is the upper grip used for the testing of buttons. Example of a button box
is shown in Figure 1. The box should be of sufficient size to accommodate the attachment to be tested
but the shape and dimensions of the box are not critical.The slotted plate shall be as shown in Figures 2 and 3 made from steel of thickness between 1,50 mm to
1,75 mm. This can be an integral part of the button box or be interchangeable to allow for the testing of
buttons of different sizes or types. The slot width, W, is critical and shall be such that the button being
tested can slide onto the plate without damaging the means of attachment (e.g. sewing thread or shank).
Slot widths of (3,0 ± 0,2) mm, (5,0 ± 0,2)mm and (7,0 ± 0,2)mm have been found most suitable for most
sizes and types of buttons.For tack buttons, the steel plate used should have a thickness between 1,80 mm and 2,10 mm.
Figure 1 — Example of button box gripIt is recommended that the button box attachment to the load cell be articulated to make it easier to
slide in the button under test.---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------

Flat-faced clamping device, for use as the lower grip comprising a clamping device fitted with a front
jaw face (25,0 ± 1,0) mm x (25,0 ± 1,0) mm, and a back-jaw face not less than 25,0mm x 25,0mm

4.4 Atmosphere for conditioning and testing
The atmosphere for conditioning and testing shall be as defined in EN ISO 139 (20°C, 65 % relative
humidity)All test specimens should be conditioned in this atmosphere for at least 4 h before testing.
5 Sampling and selection of test specimens5.1 Sampling
A sufficient number of representative garments or garment assemblies should be taken to provide the
minimum number of 5 test specimens where the same button type and size is affixed to the same
substrate or layers. This should include interfacing where used.---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
