BS ISO 17608:2015

This standard BS ISO 17608:2015 Textiles. Bare elastane yarns. Determination of resistance to chlorinated water (swimming-pool water) is classified in these ICS categories:

• 59.080.30 Textile fabrics

This International Standard specifies a method to determine the resistance of bare elastane yarns to chlorinated aqueous environments, such as swimming pools, through testing of the breaking force retention.

Different alternative test conditions are specified. Three different concentrations and two different exposure hours are considered.

This International Standard is applicable to bare elastane yarns only. Result achieved from yarns cannot be used to predict the fabric performance.
