General Information
Overview
EN 4416:2006 is a CEN aerospace-series standard that specifies requirements for the manufacture, inspection and testing of wide woven fabrics used in aerospace applications. It applies to non‑metallic textile products woven at more than 450 mm between selvedges and provides the technical specification for product quality, traceability, testing and delivery.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope & traceability
- Applies to wide woven fabrics for aerospace; all products must be traceable to raw material batches at every stage.
- Manufacturing schedule
- Manufacturers must document raw materials, processes and inspection requirements in a manufacturing schedule.
- Dimensions and tolerances
- Width tolerance: variation not to exceed 15 mm; overall width per the material specification.
- Length requirements: special rules for fabric intended for coating and for other loomstate pieces (minimum piece lengths specified; limits on butt seams and number/size of parts).
- Lengthways distortion limits: ≤ 2.5% for fabrics ≤100 g/m² and ≤ 5% for fabrics >100 g/m².
- Freedom from defects
- Defect definitions and acceptance limits are given (see Annex B); marking media requirements are in Annex C.
- Yarn, construction and testing
- Yarn type and properties specified by the material standard; yarn tests are Type Tests and other tests/frequencies are listed in Annex A.
- Colour and dyeing
- Sulfur dyes and dyes known to accelerate actinic damage are prohibited (Annex D).
- Minimum colour‑fastness ratings specified (e.g., cellulosic and synthetic textile targets for light, water and rubbing fastness).
- Corrosive impurities
- Conductivity of aqueous extract ≤ 15 mS/m. If exceeded, additional limits apply: pH 5.0–8.0, water‑soluble chloride ≤ 0.10%, sulfate ≤ 0.25%.
- Conformity & delivery
- Qualification, release testing and declaration of conformity follow the clauses and annexed test tables; marking and preparation for delivery are covered.
Applications
EN 4416 is used to ensure consistent, testable quality of wide woven fabrics in aerospace contexts such as canopy materials, interior textiles and other structural or functional textile elements where strict performance, safety and durability are required.
Who uses this standard
- Aerospace textile manufacturers and finishers
- Procurement and quality engineers at OEMs and suppliers
- Test laboratories and inspection authorities
- Design engineers specifying textile materials for aircraft systems
