ASTM in Apparel & Garments

ASTM has a lot of product in different categories but, we will only focus on Apparel & Garments category . Few of them are :

Fiber & yarn standardsustainability of textileLabeling Air permeability Test Methods• Chemical and Thermal Properties

• Flammability• Glass Fiber and its Products• UV Protective Fabrics

Fiber & yarn standard

This standard is a compilation of terminology developed by Committee D13.58 on Yarns and Fibers.

Labeling

 This terminology provides a uniform language for the disclosure of care instructions on labels that are to be attached to apparel, textile, home furnishing, and leather products.

Air permeability Test Methods

Air permeability is an important factor in the performance of such textile materials as gas filters, fabrics for air bags, clothing, mosquito netting, parachutes, sails, tent age, and vacuum cleaners.

Chemical and Thermal Properties

The thermal resistance of fabric system is considerable importance in determining its suitability for use.

Glass Fiber and its Products

Glass fiber have a variety of general uses under specific conditions, such as high physical or chemical stress, high temperature etc.

UV Protective Fabrics

This practice leads to measurement of the residual level of UV-protection in fabrics or garments labeled as sun- or UV-protective.

Flammability

All fabrics made of natural or regenerated cellulose, as well as many made from other natural or man-made fibers, are combustible.
