15、n Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.Page 3 EN 12423:1999 BSI 09-1999 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for tw
16、ines made from polypropylene. It specifies the methods for their manufacture, their physical characteristics, as well as describing test methods to verify these characteristics. This standard allows ultra violet light inhibitors to be added but does not require them to be added. Requirements for the
17、 commercial presentation of twines are also specified. This standard does not specify requirements for agricultural twines made of polyolefin, which are covered according to EN 906:1996. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other p
18、ublications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the cited publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications apply to this standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revi
19、sion. For undated references, the latest edition of the publication referred to applies. EN 20139, Textiles Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing.

25、the colour; g) the number of this standard. Example of designation: a polypropylene twine of 2 ply having a linear density of 2,04 ktex with “S” twist black coloured conforming to EN 12423 is designated as follows: TWINE EN 12423 PP 2 2,04 S black. 5 Manufacture 5.1 Polypropylene twines shall be mad
26、e from mechanically fibrillated polypropylene film tapes in order to achieve a softer yarn. NOTE Additives can be used to colour the material or to improve other characteristics. 5.2 A specific request shall be made if an additive is needed in order to increase the twines resistance against ultra vi
27、olet rays. 5.3 Each spool or ball of twine shall be continuous throughout its length and shall contain no loose ends. NOTE Knots in the twine are permitted provided that these do not exceed two in number per spool or ball.Page 5 EN 12423:1999 BSI 09-1999 6 Main requirements of polypropylene twines W
