Overview
EN 12654-2:1998 (CEN) - "Textile glass - Yarns - Part 2: Methods of test and general specifications" defines the properties and general requirements for yarns made from continuous filament textile glass. The standard covers both single yarns and folded yarns, setting out the scope of testing and specification applicable to manufacturers, test laboratories and purchasers. It explicitly excludes textured yarns, yarns made from staple fibre, rovings and pre‑impregnated yarns.
Key topics and requirements
This part of EN 12654 focuses on the following technical areas:
- Scope and definitions relevant to textile glass yarns (continuous filament).
- List of properties that are considered critical for yarn specification and quality assessment.
- General requirements manufacturers and suppliers must meet when declaring yarn characteristics.
- Methods of test and references for assessing listed properties (sampling, test conditions and performance criteria).
- Exclusions clearly indicating which yarn types are not covered (textured yarns, staple‑fibre yarns, rovings, pre‑impregnated yarns).
- Marking, packaging and documentation expectations to ensure consistent delivery and traceability.
(EN 12654-2 is frequently adopted as a national standard - the supplied extract shows a national adoption reference - demonstrating its role as a harmonised European technical specification.)
Applications and who uses this standard
EN 12654-2 is used by professionals involved in the production, testing, procurement and application of glass yarns:
- Manufacturers of continuous filament glass yarns for product specification and quality control.
- Testing laboratories that perform acceptance or compliance testing using standardized methods.
- Composite and textile converters who select glass yarns for reinforcement and need consistent property data.
- Buyers and procurement teams specifying yarns in purchase contracts and technical data sheets.
- Standards engineers and certification bodies aligning product documentation and compliance with CEN requirements.
Typical applications of products governed by this standard include reinforcement for composites, technical textiles and industrial woven or knitted glass fabrics where consistent yarn properties are essential.
Related standards
- Other parts of the EN 12654 series (where applicable) and related CEN/ISO documents on textile glass and composite reinforcement may provide complementary specifications or further test details.
- Users should consult the full EN 12654-2:1998 text for authoritative test procedures, sampling rules and exact requirement tables.
