Slide fasteners (zips) - Specification

This European Standard specifies performance levels and test methods for the following characteristics of slide fasteners made from interlocking components mounted on tapes: strengths of puller attachment, closed-end, top stop, open-end slide fastener box, reciprocating mechanism, closed slide fastener when extended laterally, open-end attachment when extended laterally, slider locking device, and open-end slide fastener single stringer slider retention and slider resistance to torque.
NOTE The tests specified in Annexes B to K have been specifically devised to permit their direct application to finished slide fasteners with a view to giving the user reasonable assurance that a slide fastener conforming to the requirements of this standard can satisfactorily fulfil its intended purpose. Annex L gives information about sampling procedures for bulk quantities of slide fasteners.
In addition, performance levels are also specified for colour fastness to washing, dry cleaning and water, and for dimensional stability to washing and dry cleaning.
This European Standard is applicable to slide fasteners for general use and is not applicable to slide fasteners for specialist purposes (for example: pressure sealed slide fasteners for diving suits).

Reißverschlüsse - Spezifikation

Dieses Dokument legt Leistungsstufen und Prüfverfahren für die folgenden Eigenschaften von Reißverschlüssen fest, die aus auf Textilbänder befestigten ineinandergreifenden Komponenten hergestellt wurden: Abreißfestigkeit der Schiebergriffbefestigung, Festigkeit des unteren Begrenzungsteils des unteilbaren Reißverschlusses, Festigkeit des oberen Begrenzungsteils, Festigkeit des Kastenteils eines teilbaren Reißverschlusses, Querfestigkeit nach Dauerlaufprüfung, Querfestigkeit des Reißverschlusses und des Teilbarkeitselementes, Haltekraft der Schiebersperre und Schieberabzugsfestigkeit bei geöffnetem teilbaren Reißverschluss sowie Torsionsfestigkeit des Schiebers gegen Drehkraft.
ANMERKUNG   Die in Anhang B bis Anhang K festgelegten Prüfungen wurden eigens entwickelt, um ihre direkte Anwendung auf fertige Reißverschlüsse im Hinblick darauf zu ermöglichen, dem Anwender die angemessene Sicherheit bieten zu können, dass ein Reißverschluss, welcher die Anforderungen dieses Dokuments erfüllt, seine vorgesehene Verwendung zufriedenstellend erfüllen kann. Anhang L gibt Informationen zur Probenahme von Reißverschlussmengen.
Zusätzlich werden Leistungsstufen für die Farbechtheit und Formbeständigkeit beim Waschen und bei Trockenreinigung festgelegt.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für alle Arten von Reißverschlüssen zur allgemeinen Verwendung und es ist nicht anwendbar für Reißverschlüsse für besondere Zwecke (z. B. druckversiegelte Reißverschlüsse an Tauchanzügen).

Fermetures à glissière - Spécifications

Le présent document spécifie les niveaux de performance et les méthodes d'essai applicables aux caractéristiques suivantes des fermetures à glissière comportant des composants s'emboîtant et montés sur des rubans : la résistance de la fixation de la tirette, de la réunion du système non séparable, des arrêts, du boîtier du système séparable, du mécanisme de va-et-vient, du système non séparable à la traction transversale, de la fixation du système séparable à la traction transversale, du système de blocage du curseur, du maintien du curseur sur une demi-chaîne de fermeture à glissière séparable et la résistance du curseur à la torsion.
NOTE   Les essais spécifiés aux Annexes B à K ont été conçus expressément pour une application directe à des fermetures à glissière à l'état fini, en vue de fournir à l'utilisateur l'assurance raisonnable qu'une fermeture à glissière conforme aux exigences du présent document peut remplir de manière satisfaisante la fonction pour laquelle elle est prévue. L'Annexe L donne des informations sur les modes opératoires d'échantillonnage pour de grandes quantités de fermetures à glissière.
En outre, des niveaux de performance sont également spécifiés pour la solidité des coloris au lavage, au nettoyage à sec et à l'eau, et pour la stabilité dimensionnelle au lavage et au nettoyage à sec.
Le présent document s'applique à tous les types de fermetures à glissière d'usage courant et ne s'applique pas aux fermetures à glissière destinées à des applications spéciales (par exemple, fermetures à glissière étanches destinées aux combinaisons de plongée).

This draft European Standard is submitted to CEN members for enquiry. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee
CEN/TC 248.
If this draft becomes a European Standard, CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations
which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.

This draft European Standard was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC
Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye and
United Kingdom.
Recipients of this draft are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of any relevant patent rights of which they are
aware and to provide supporting documentation.
