37 - APPENDIX K - GUIDANCE ON FACTORS TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN SPECIFYING SLIDE FASTENERS

Sets out requirements for slide fasteners which include strength and durability, colourfastness and dimensional stability. A classification system based on chain width is specified with performance classes ranging from ultra light to ultra heavy. Properties specific to end use and fasteners of a complicated nature such as three way or double-pull are not included in the scope.

This Standard specifies performance levels for the following characteristics of slide fasteners made from interlocking components mounted on textile tapes: strengths of puller attachment, closed-end, top-stop, open end fastener box, reciprocating mechanism, closed fastener when extended laterally, open end attachment when extended laterally, slider lock and security of separate element fasteners laterally and longitudinally. Tests for quantifying these properties are given in the Appendices A to J. In addition, performance levels are specified for colourfastness to washing, drycleaning, water, and for dimensional change to washing and drycleaning. NOTE: Guidance on factors to be considered when specifying slide fasteners is given in Appendix K. Properties specific to applications such as aeronautics and fasteners of complicated structure such as three-way and double-pull are not included within the scope of this Standard.
