This document specifies index test methods for determining the compressive creep properties of
geosynthetic products. The test specimens are subjected either to normal compressive loading or to a
combination of normal compressive loading and shear loading.
The test method with a normal load only (see Clause 5) is the standard method.
The test method in which combined normal and shear loads are applied (see Clause 6) is intended for
products that are sensitive to shear failure, i.e. which have a columnar or cuspated structure.
The tests are carried out on dry specimens or on specimens immersed in water. The test is intended
to be carried out with the specimen immersed in water when any part of the geosynthetic product
contains a hydrophilic polymer.

This specific test serves to determine the protective effect of different geosynthetics against water erosion by heavy rain. The test is performed in a laboratory apparatus and the results serve as a performance test.

fabrics, fabrics made of glass rovings or untwisted carbon filament yarns intended for reinforced
composite materials. When applying the method to multi-axial non-crimp fabrics, the evaluation of the
fibre orientation and gaps only incorporates the uppermost layer.
The method can be used for fabrics treated with powder binder.

containing acetate fibres that have been deacetylated on the surface.

This document provides a description of anthropometric measurements that can be used as a basis for
the creation of physical and digital anthropometric databases. The list of measurements specified in
this document is intended to serve as a guide for practitioners in the field of clothing who are required
to apply their knowledge to select population market segments and to create size and shape profiles
for the development of all garment types and their equivalent fit mannequins. The list provides a
guide for how to take anthropometric measurements, as well as give information to clothing product
development teams and fit mannequin manufacturers on the principles of measurement and their
underlying anatomical and anthropometrical bases.
Annex A describes the use of the pictogram (standardized and modified) based on the selection of most
usual body dimensions used for clothing size designation.
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with national, regional or international
regulations or agreements to ensure harmony in defining population groups and to allow comparison
of anthropometric data sets.

This document provides definitions in the field of “smart” textiles and textile products as well

development of these products and their application potential and gives indications on preferential
standardization needs.

This document specifies primary and secondary dimensions for specified types of garments to be used
in combination with ISO 8559-1 (anthropometric definitions for body measurement).
The primary aim of this document is to establish a size designation system that can be used by
manufacturers and retailers to indicate to consumers (in a simple, direct and meaningful manner) the
body dimensions of the person that the garment is intended to fit. Provided that the size of the person’s
body (as indicated by the specified dimensions) has been determined in accordance with ISO 8559-1,
this designation system will facilitate the choice of garments that fit. This information can be indicated
by labelling, etc.
The size designation system is based on body measurements, not garment measurements. The choice
of garment measurements is normally determined by the designer and the manufacturers who make
appropriate allowances to accommodate the type and position of wear, style, cut and fashion elements
of the garment.

This document specifies a qualitative and quantitative procedure to determine the composition of
animal hair fibre blends (made of wool, cashmere, yak, alpaca, camel or angora) by LC-MS without
protein reduction.
NOTE 1 The composition of non-animal hair fibres can be measured by ISO 1833 (all parts). Both results are
combined to determine the total fibre composition.
The method is based on a preliminary identification, by light microscopy, of all fibres in the blend on the
basis of their morphology, according to ISO/TR 11827[4]. It is not applicable if fibres of the same animal
species (such as blends of cashmere and mohair) are present.
NOTE 2 In this case, the quantitative analysis is performed using microscopical analysis [for example,
ISO 17751 (all parts)].

the combination of test methods leads back to simple cases of fibre mixtures. Table B.1 illustrates the
typical ternary mixtures and their applied corresponding parts of the ISO 1833 series.

This document specifies a method for determining the colour fastness and ageing properties of all kinds
and forms of dyed and printed textiles and/or other organic substrates under the action of an artificial
light source representative of natural daylight (D65), and under the simultaneous action of heat. Of the
five different sets of exposure conditions specified (see 7.1.1), four use D65, and the other one uses a
somewhat lower cut-off wavelength. The test method gives special consideration to the light and heat
conditions that occur in the interior of a motor vehicle.
The five different sets of conditions using the different optical filter systems specified can produce
different test results. Results from tests performed using different apparatus (instrument types) for the
same set of conditions and optical filter system are not comparable because comparable performance
has not been validated.

This standard specifies methods for screening the resistance of geotextile products to liquids while not subjecting them to external mechanical stress.
The standard is applicable to all geotextiles and geotextile related products.
Method A applies particularly to polyamides and method B to polyesters and polyamides. The test results should be interpreted in the context of site conditions.
NOTE This standard only considers conditions where the specimens are fully immersed in the liquids. Though outside the scope of this standard, the test conditions may be modified to accommodate particular applications, e.g. gaseous media. This standard does not preclude use for test specimens that are pre-treated by some method, e.g. by weathering, aqueous extraction conditions or installation damage.
