Overview
EN 1414:1996/A1:2000 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the cycling procedure for subsequent testing of touch and close fasteners. Commonly found in garments, headgear, and various clothing accessories, these fasteners require rigorous durability testing to ensure consistent performance throughout their lifecycle. This standard outlines the method for simulating repeated opening and closing actions, helping manufacturers and testers evaluate fastener durability and reliability.
This updated amendment (A1:2000) reflects methodological improvements and harmonizes testing practices to maintain compliance with evolving industry requirements.
Key Topics
- Touch and Close Fasteners: Includes hook-and-loop assemblies widely used in clothing and accessory applications.
- Cycling Procedure: Defines the systematic approach to repeatedly engage and disengage fasteners for durability assessment.
- Subsequent Testing: Focuses on testing cycles performed after initial assessments to simulate wear from prolonged use.
- Applicability: Relevant to industries involved in garment manufacturing, headgear, and textile fastening solutions.
- Standardization Framework: Migrated and maintained as part of the CEN’s coordinated standards for clothing and accessories fastening.
Applications
- Quality Control in Garment Manufacturing: Ensures fasteners on clothing maintain performance after repeated use, reducing failures and warranty claims.
- Product Development and Testing: Assists designers and engineers in evaluating new fastening materials and designs for durability.
- Safety Gear and Headgear: Guarantees secure fastening for protective equipment that undergoes frequent manipulation.
- Textile Accessory Verification: Confirms that fasteners for bags, straps, and other clothing accessories meet longevity criteria.
- Compliance Certification: Provides a recognized testing procedure for conformity with European textile and apparel regulations.
