The work of preparing International Standards is normall
17、y carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the
18、work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare Inte
19、rnational Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of th
20、e elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.ISO 6938 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, Textiles.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 6938:1984), which has been

22、ecific constitution or origin.An alphabetical list of names in common use is provided, together with the corresponding standardized denominations.2 Types of fibres2.1 Natural fibresNatural fibres are fibres which occur in nature; they can be categorized according to their origin into animal, vegetab
23、le and mineral fibres.2.2 Animal fibresThese include in particular: fibres from silk glands, secreted by some insects, perticularly by larvae of the lepidopter order, in the form of two filaments of fibroin cemented together by sericin; fibres secreted by some molluscs; fibres from hair follicles, w
24、ith a multicellular structure, composed of keratin, forming the fleece, the coat, the mane or the tail of certain animals.2.3 Vegetable fibresThese include in particular: fibres from seeds: single-cell structure, generated by the epidermal cells of the seed, almost entirely constituted of cellulose;
25、 fibres from bast: composite fibres obtained from the bast of certain plants, mainly constituted of cellulose and accompanied with incrusting and intercellular materials (pectin bodies, hemicellulose, lignin); fibres from leaf: composite fibres obtained from leaves, constituted chiefly of cellulose
26、plus incrusting and intercellular materials, consisting of lignin and hemicelluloses; fibres from fruit: composite fibres obtained from fruit, constituted chiefly of cellulose plus incrusting and intercellular materials, consisting of lignin and hemicelluloses.2.4 Mineral fibresMineral fibres are ob
27、tained from rocks of fibrous structure, constituted principally of silicates.
