1.1These test methods cover the determination of the strengths for zipper and zipper parts. All methods are not suitable for use with all kinds of zipper. The restrictions, if any, are indicated in the scope for each individual test method. The test methods appear as follows:

	Sections

Holding Strengths of Separable Units	25 – 32
Holding Strength of Slider Lock	92 – 100
Holding Strength of Stops	17 – 24
Resistance to Angular Pull-Off of Slider Pull	82 – 91
Resistance to Cushioned Compression of Sliders	33 – 42
Resistance to Pull-Off of Slider Pull	72 – 81
Resistance to Twist of Pull and Slider	52 – 61
Slider Deflection and Recovery	43 – 51
Strength of Chains and Elements	9 – 16
Torsional Resistance of Slider Pull for Removal of Components	62 – 71

1.2The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.3This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
