1、Designation: D 6321 98 (Reapproved 2004)Standard Practice forthe Evaluation of Machine Washable T-Shirts1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6321; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last r

2、evision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers test methods and procedures usedto evaluate important characteristics of machine washableT-shirts. T-s

3、hirts may be made of knitted fabric composed ofany textile fiber(s) or blend of fibers and intended to be used asunderwear or as an outer garment.1.2 T-shirts characteristics may be assessed either as a finalproduct or at any intermediate processing stage.1.3 This practice excludes T-shirts intended

4、 for hand wash-ing or dry cleaning care.1.4 The values in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.The values given in parentheses are provided for informationonly.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of

5、the user of this standards to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
