25、ons Relating to “Super S”.7The “Super S” classification for the fineness of wool in woven fabrics and garments goes back to the traditional English wool grading system as used by the trade in Bradford, England. The foundations of this system can be described as follows: a yarn, to be even and strong
26、 enough for weaving, must contain a certain minimum number of fibres in its cross section. Therefore, with coarse wool fibres it is possible to obtain only coarse yarns, while with the fine ones very thin yarns can be spun. This criterion is the basis of the wool fineness classification. If wool is
27、classified as Super 120s”, for example, it means that 1 pound of fibre will produce 120 hanks of yarn, each of which is 560 yards long. With a coarser wool the yarn would be thicker and the number of hanks lower (for instance 80), with a still finer wool on the contrary the hanks would be more numer
28、ous (for instance 150). At the beginning of this century, the International Wool Textile Organization (IWTO) officially and precisely codified the fineness classes by fixing for each one of them a maximum limit in microns of mean fibre diameter.As wool is processed, the diameter of the original fibr
29、e used in producing a woven fabric may change due to structural modification of the fibre and the possible effects of chemicals used during processing, etc. Consequently, the mean fibre diameter of the fibre extracted from the fabric can be different from the mean fibre diameter of the fibre used to
30、 spin the yarn used in the fabric.Wool weavers supply their clients with statements concerning the fineness and, on request, with “Super S” label to be sewn inside garments made with the “Super S” cloth. This is a voluntary label, but it has to correspond with the code of practice. The fine wool is
31、very expensive, but with it light, soft fabrics of high wearability and elegance can be produced. A false classification is an act of unfair competition towards the honest producers and an unfair and deceptive practice to consumers. The whole chain of production for wool textiles from the grower thr
32、ough to the garment manufacturer will benefit from a proper understanding and application of the “Super S” code. In addition, retailers and consumers will be protected from fraud or misunderstandings which originate from ignorance of the classification system.NOTE 1 pound is equivalent to 0,453 kg;
33、1 yard is equivalent to 0,914 m.

ISO 137, Wool Determination of fibre diameter Projection microscope method3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.3.1woolfibre from sheeps or lambs fleeces (Ovis
36、 aries)Note 1 to entry: Although legislation in the European Union and in some other countries provides that the term “wool” may be used to indicate a mixture of fibres from sheeps or lambs fleeces and the hairs of other animals such as alpaca, llama, camel, kashmir goat, angora goat, angora rabbit,
37、 vicuna, yak, guanaco, cashgora goat, beaver, and otter, the use of the term “wool” in the context of “Super S” labelling is restricted to fibres from sheeps or lambs fleeces only.3.2pure virgin wool fabricwoven fabric produced wholly from shorn wool which has not previously been spun into yarn or f
38、elted nor previously incorporated into a finished product4 “Super S” labelling code requirementsIn the labelling of fabrics, the word Super (as in Super 100s for example) can only be used to describe woven fabrics made from pure virgin wool, and the “Super S” value is determined by, and shall not ex

The total tolerance of results is (+) or () 0,5 m, but sin
43、ce the specification is concerned only with the maximum permissible diameter, the negative tolerance of 0,25 m is not required.Determination of mean fibre diameter values shall be carried out according to the test method indicated in Clause 5.The inclusion of up to 5 % in weight of non-wool yarn for
44、 decorative effects is permitted.NOTE It is appreciated that the tolerance for non-wool decorative fibres provided for in the legislation of the European Union and some other countries is greater than 5 %. However, in the context of “Super S” labelling it is felt that a tolerance of 5 % of non-wool
45、yarn is more appropriate.5 Test method for the determination of mean fibre diameter5.1 Woven fabric samplingThe sampling is based on the selection of fabric pieces cut from either fabric or a garment. The samples shall be representative of the whole fabric or garment.Take a minimum of three separate
46、 squares, each to be composed of different warp threads and weft threads, the size, with a tolerance of 0,02 cm, depending on the mass per unit area of the fabric and in proportion to both thread type (colour, count) and warp/weft respective masses.The size of each square shall be determined such th
47、at whole threads from the square fully pack the slot of the fibre microtome (as described in ISO 137).NOTE The size could be between 3 cm 3 cm and 5 cm 5 cm.2 ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 18103:2015ISO 18103:2015(E)Determination of mean fibre diameter values shall be carried out according t

49、le unravelled warp and weft threads which have to be inserted in the fibre microtome (as described in ISO 137).The snippets should be cut at approximately 0,4 mm length, using the appropriate fibre pusher (as described in ISO 137) and place on a slide.Repeat the preparation of the snippets on other slides for the other fabric samples.5.3 Test methodThe determination of mean fibre diameter values shall be carried out according to ISO 137.NOTE ISO 137 is a test method equivalent to IWTO-8.The fina
