CEN/TC 248/WG 5 - Touch and close fasteners

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the resistance to fraying of touch and close fasteners.

This Technical Report describes different methods of integration of touch and close fasteners to the final or finished product, such as:
Sewing,
mechanical attachment,
adhesive pressure sensitive,
heat activated,
welded attachment,
moulding in,
straps,
non-continous application in various widths,
together with the appropriate test method.

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the longitudinal shear strength of a touch and close fastener.

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the dimensional change in washing and drying or dry cleaning of touch and close fastener tapes.

This European Standard specifies a method for closing a touch and close fastener, prior to washing and drying or dry-cleaning.

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the peel strength of a touch and close fastener.

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the overall widths and effective widths of tape which comprise a touch and close fastener, and the effective width of the resulting closure.

This European standard describes an apparatus and method of test for submitting touch and close fasteners to opening and closing cycles in order to simulate use. The touch and close fasteners subjected to these cycles will be used in subsequent physical tests intended to measure the residual mechanical strength characteristics.

This European standard specifies a method for measuring the curvature of each of the male and female tapes making up a touch and close fastener.

This European standard specifies a method for measuring the resistance to slipping of the threads in a slit selvedge of a touch and close fastener tape.
