EN 16315:2014 - Textiles - Silk woven fabrics for womenswear, silk squares, scarves and ties - Requirements and test methods

Overview

EN 16315:2014 (CEN) defines requirements and test methods for 100% silk woven fabrics used in womenswear and for made-up silk articles such as silk squares, scarves and ties for men and women. The standard covers sampling, structural and physico‑mechanical properties, colour fastness and colour conformity, and provides normative test procedures and tolerances to evaluate silk fabrics and finished articles.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and sampling

    • Applies to 100% silk woven fabrics and sewn silk articles.
    • Laboratory samples: take representative specimens from three pieces per lot (or from every piece if fewer than three), excluding visible defects.

  • Structural characteristics

    • Fabric construction and thread density (ISO 7211 / EN 1049-2).
    • Mass per unit area: fabrics are classified into categories (A–D) by mass; these categories determine minimum mechanical performance requirements.
    • Width, length and pattern-size regularity tolerances (EN 1773).

  • Physico‑mechanical tests

    • Tensile strength (strip method) - EN ISO 13934-1; minimum forces specified per fabric category and article type (e.g., womenswear, scarves, ties).
    • Tear strength (Elmendorf) - EN ISO 13937-1 (womenswear fabrics).
    • Seam slippage resistance - EN ISO 13936-1 (womenswear and ties).
    • Skew/bow (distortion) - EN ISO 13015.
    • Dimensional change after steaming on pressing machines (Annex B) and after cleaning/washing (EN ISO 5077, EN ISO 6330, EN ISO 3175 series).

  • Colour fastness and conformity

    • Required tests: lightfastness, rubbing (dry/wet), perspiration (acid/alkali), dry cleaning, laundering and hot pressing (EN ISO 105 series, EN ISO 105-B02, X11, X12, C06, D01, E04).
    • Minimum grade requirements are specified (with allowable tolerance).

Applications and who uses EN 16315:2014

  • Textile and fashion manufacturers - define product specifications, production acceptance criteria and supplier contracts for silk fabrics and finished silk accessories.
  • Quality control and testing laboratories - perform the normative test methods and report compliance against EN 16315 criteria.
  • Brands and buyers/merchants - use as a reference to ensure durability, dimensional stability and colour performance of silk products.
  • Compliance and procurement teams - include requirements in technical sheets and purchase orders to reduce returns and ensure consistent consumer care instructions.

Related standards

EN 16315 references many established test methods including:

  • EN ISO 105 (colour fastness series), EN ISO 139 (conditioning), EN ISO 13934-1 (tensile), EN ISO 13937-1 (tear), EN ISO 13015 (skew), EN 1049-2 / ISO 7211 (construction), EN ISO 6330 / EN ISO 5077 (washing/dimensional change).

Using EN 16315:2014 helps ensure reproducible quality, consistent testing and clear contractual criteria for silk woven fabrics and silk accessories.
