Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives

Introduction
Textile and clothing manufacturers give a lot of importance to knowledge of the widthway distortion. In
the case of woven fabrics with patterns or in which the weft threads are rather visible, the appearance
of a textile article could be compromised.
With some rare exceptions, the two sets of threads in woven textile fabrics are intended to lie straight
and at right angles. If a fabric does not meet either of these requirements, it is described as distorted.
Difficulties in making up may then arise and the made-up article may fail to function properly. The
distortion may also detract from the appearance of fabric with checked patterns or coloured weft
effects such as plaids or stripes. It is therefore desirable to have a means of specifying and measuring
the distortion in woven fabric in terms of bow and skew.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 13015:2013(E)
Woven fabrics — Distortion — Determination of skew and
bow
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the distortion of a woven fabric
in which the weft yarns are, in principle, perpendicular to the warp yarns.
