Fibres - Elasticity of fibres - Test methods
This test method covers the determination of the elasticity of fibres and may lead to classification of the fibre as elastic fibre (see Annex A).
It is applicable to single man-made crimped and uncrimped fibres.
Faser - Elastizität von Fasern - Prüfung
Dieses Prüfverfahren umfasst die Bestimmung der Elastizität von Fasern und erlaubt eine Einstufung von Fasern als elastische Fasern (siehe Anhang A). Es ist anwendbar auf gekräuselte und ungekräuselte Chemiefasern.
Fibres - Élasticité des fibres - Méthodes d'essai
La présente méthode d’essai couvre la détermination de l’élasticité des fibres et peut aboutir à la classification
de la fibre comme fibre élastique (voir l’Annexe A).
Elle est applicable aux fibres chimiques frisées et non frisées, prises individuellement.

Overview
EN 15930:2010 (CEN) defines standardized test methods to determine the elasticity of single man‑made fibres (crimped and uncrimped). The method measures how a fibre recovers after cyclic extension and provides metrics - elastic recovery, permanent deformation, and optional force decay - that can be used for classification. Annex A sets the criterion for an “elastic” fibre (≥ 80% recovery after 50% elongation).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Single man‑made fibres (crimped or uncrimped). Method may lead to “elastic” classification (Annex A).
- Sample conditioning & sampling:
- Condition samples at standard atmosphere per EN ISO 139 for at least 16 h.
- Sampling guidance referenced to EN 12751.
- Apparatus:
- Constant‑rate‑of‑extension (CRE) tensile testing machine with force and elongation recording (accuracy class 1 per EN ISO 7500‑1).
- Pretension device capable of applying 0.01 ± 0.005 cN/tex.
- Data acquisition frequency ≥ 8 samples/s.
- Gauge length adjustable 20 mm or 50 mm.
- Test parameters (recommended):
- Gauge length: 50 mm (or 20 mm if 50 mm not achievable).
- Test speed: 100% of gauge length per minute (e.g., 50 mm/min for 50 mm gauge).
- Specified elongation: 50% (i.e., extension to 1.5× initial length).
- Hold time at extension: 60 s.
- Number of cycles: three exercising cycles + a 4th cycle for recovery measurement.
- Measured outputs & calculations:
- Elastic recovery (%) = 100 × (Espec − Erec) / Espec.
- Permanent deformation (%) = 100 × Erec / Linit.
- Force decay (%) (optional) calculated from force at start and end of hold.
- Report individual values, arithmetic mean and standard deviation.
- Classification: fibre is “elastic” if elastic recovery > 80% after 50% elongation.
Applications and users
- Quality control and acceptance testing in textile and fibre manufacturing.
- R&D teams developing elastic and stretch fibres (e.g., elastane blends).
- Test laboratories providing accredited fibre property data.
- Product designers and specifiers requiring verified elasticity data for garments, technical textiles or composites.
- Regulators and labeling authorities evaluating fibre claims.

- EN ISO 7500‑1 - verification of tensile machines
- EN 12751 - sampling of fibres, yarns and fabrics
