SIST EN 12422:1999

• Abstract:

  This European standard specifies the essential characteristics of sisal twines. It specifies the way they are manufactured, methods for testing and the manner in which they are designated and presented commercially. This standard does not specify agricultural twines which are made from sisal. These twines are specified according to EN 25080:1993.

SIST EN 12422:1999 is the Slovenian adoption of EN 12422:1999, published by SIST. It specifies the essential characteristics of sisal twines, including how they are manufactured, tested, designated and presented commercially. It is written for manufacturers, testers, suppliers and buyers who need a common product specification for sisal twines.

What does SIST EN 12422:1999 specify?

SIST EN 12422:1999 specifies the product requirements for sisal twines. In practice, that means it is the standard to use when a twine made from sisal has to be described, checked and traded in a consistent way.

The scope also separates out a related product group: agricultural twines made from sisal. Those twines are covered by EN 25080:1993 instead. That matters for specification work, because it helps buyers and suppliers choose the right standard for the intended use.

The standard is identified as the Slovenian standard identical to EN 12422:1999, and it is classified in the yarns area under ICS 59.080.20.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 12422:1999?

SIST EN 12422:1999 sets out the main things that define a sisal twine for technical and commercial use. The points below are the ones that matter most in practice.

• Essential characteristics - The standard specifies the key characteristics of sisal twines. This gives specifiers and buyers a common basis for comparing products and deciding whether a twine is suitable.
• Manufacturing - The standard states the way sisal twines are manufactured. For producers, this means the product is tied to a defined production method rather than an informal trade description.
• Testing methods - The standard specifies methods for testing the twines. In practice, laboratories and quality teams use this to verify that the product matches the required characteristics.
• Designation - The standard covers how sisal twines are designated. This is important for purchase orders, technical files and product labels, because the designation is the short identifier used in trade.
• Commercial presentation - The standard also covers how the twines are presented commercially. That matters for packaging, marking and product description, so the item is sold and delivered in a consistent way.
• Product boundary - The standard applies to sisal twines, but not to agricultural twines made from sisal. That boundary helps avoid using the wrong specification in procurement or inspection.

What terms does SIST EN 12422:1999 use?

The standard centers on a small group of technical terms that define the product and how it is handled.

• Sisal twines - Twines made from sisal, which is the product covered by the standard.
• Agricultural twines - Twines made from sisal for agricultural use; these are treated under EN 25080:1993.
• Essential characteristics - The properties that the standard treats as necessary for identifying and specifying the twine.
• Manufactured - The way the twine is produced, which matters because production affects consistency.
• Testing methods - The procedures used to check the twine against the specification.
• Designation - The formal way the product is named or identified in trade.
• Commercial presentation - The way the twine is described, marked or offered for sale.

Who uses SIST EN 12422:1999?

SIST EN 12422:1999 is used by people who need a shared specification for sisal twines. That includes manufacturers who produce the twine, laboratories that test it, and quality teams that check whether a delivered product matches the agreed description.

It is also relevant to buyers, purchasing teams and suppliers who need to write or review technical specifications, product descriptions and order documents. Because the standard covers designation and commercial presentation, it is useful in day-to-day trade as well as in technical acceptance.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 12422:1999?

• EN 25080:1993 - This is the standard named for agricultural twines made from sisal. It provides the separate specification for that product category.

What does the SIST EN 12422:1999 document contain?

SIST EN 12422:1999 is a product standard for sisal twines. It frames the product by its essential characteristics and by the way it is manufactured, tested, designated and presented commercially.

The document also directs users to EN 25080:1993 for agricultural twines made from sisal. That helps keep the product scope clear when twines are intended for different uses.

The published standard is identified as the Slovenian version of EN 12422:1999 and is placed in the yarns classification area.
