ISO/TC 38/WG 32 - Smart textiles

This document describes the measurement for the determination of the sheet resistance of conductive textile structures or conductive structures by using eddy current technology in reflection mode setup/ arrangement. It is applicable to conductive textile structures or conductive structures intended for application in/to textiles in the form of sheets (woven fabric, knitted fabric, nonwoven, coated fabric) where the area is formed by intersecting surfaces having conductive textile material. It is also applicable to multilayer structures containing both insulating and conductive layers.

This document provides definitions in the field of "smart" textiles and textile products as well as a categorization of different types of smart textiles. It describes briefly the current stage of development of these products and their application potential and gives indications on preferential standardization needs.
