Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be th

BS EN 16732:2015EN 16732:2015 (E) 6 Introduction The different types of slide fasteners are defined by the material of the elements (teeth), which form their slide fastener chains. They can be of metallic, moulded plastic or monofilament plastic construction. Met
31、allic elements can be produced from flat or profiled wire and are usually clamped around the edge of a beaded tape. An alternative approach is to cast metallic elements directly onto such a tape. Similarly, plastic elements can be moulded onto a beaded tape. Such cast or moulded elements might have
32、projections on which the slider operates to reduce abrasion of the tape. Plastic coil slide fasteners have polyamide or polyester monofilaments that are wound into coils to form engaging elements. The coils can be attached to the face of flat tapes by sewing. Alternatively, the coils can be woven or
33、 knitted into the tapes as they are constructed. Monofilament plastic elements can also be of the meander type, which straddle the tape edge. Typical slide fastener chain types are shown in Figure 1. BS EN 16732:2015EN 16732:2015 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard specifies performance levels and
34、test methods for the following characteristics of slide fasteners made from interlocking components mounted on tapes: strengths of puller attachment, closed-end, top stop, open-end slide fastener box, reciprocating mechanism, closed slide fastener when extended laterally, open-end attachment when ex
35、tended laterally, slider locking device, and open-end slide fastener single stringer slider retention and slider resistance to torque. NOTE The tests specified in Annexes B to K have been specifically devised to permit their direct application to finished slide fasteners with a view to giving the us
36、er reasonable assurance that a slide fastener conforming to the requirements of this standard can satisfactorily fulfil its intended purpose. Annex L gives information about sampling procedures for bulk quantities of slide fasteners. In addition, performance levels are also specified for colour fast
37、ness to washing, dry cleaning and water, and for dimensional stability to washing and dry cleaning. This European Standard is applicable to slide fasteners for general use and is not applicable to slide fasteners for specialist purposes (for example: pressure sealed slide fasteners for diving suits)

43、he following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 slide fastener (zip) fastening device consisting of two flexible, interlocking stringers, with or without end stops, and one or more sliders so arranged that by moving the slider along the stringers in one direction an opening is formed, and by moving it
44、 in the other direction the opening is closed 3.2 stringer tape with an attached row of elements designed to interlock with a row similarly attached to another tape 3.3 tape narrow fabric to which elements are fitted 3.4 element (tooth) engaging component fixed to the edge of the tape (see Figure 2)
45、 3.5 slider moving component consisting essentially of a slider body and, normally, a puller which opens or closes the slide fastener by separating or engaging the single elements of the stringer Note 1 to entry: The slider might incorporate a locking device. Alternative slider types are available w
46、ith a flip-over puller or double pullers, to facilitate operation from both front and back sides. 3.6 slider body component that joins or separates the elements when sliding along the two stringers of slide fastener 3.7 puller fitting attached to the slider body to facilitate manipulation 3.8 lockin
47、g device device incorporated in the slider unit restricting its free movement along the slide fastener length in an opening direction Note 1 to entry: The locking device might operate either automatically on release of the puller or by manual pressure on the puller. 3.9 slide fastener length distanc
48、e from the top of the slider to the bottom of the bottom stop, or box in the case of an open-end slide fastener, measured with the slider in the top position and with the puller in the downward position (see Figure 2) Note 1 to entry: Some suppliers measure the effective length of slide fasteners fr
49、om the top of the slider to the bottom edge of the tape, especially in the case of two way open-end slide fasteners. BS EN 16732:2015EN 16732:2015 (E) 9 3.10 bottom stop stop at the bottom end of the chain that checks the opening movement of the slider Note 1 to entry: See Figure 2a), (Key n. 5). 3.11 top stop stop(s) at the top end of the chain that check(s) the closing movement of the slider 3.12 chain continuous closure formed by two interlocking compatible stringers Note 1 to entry: See Figure 2a), (Key n.8). 3.13 chain width width across the interlocked
