ISO 2076:2021 pdf download – Textiles — Man-made fibres — Generic names.
1  Scope This document defines the generic names used to designate the different categories of man-made fibres, based on a main polymer, currently manufactured on an industrial scale for textile and other purposes, together with the distinguishing attributes that characterize them. The term “man-made fibres” has been adopted for those fibres obtained by a manufacturing process, as distinct from materials which occur naturally in fibrous form. This document gives recommendations of rules for the creation of the generic name (see Annex A). NOTE These rules have been introduced in the sixth edition of ISO 2076, and thus, they are not applicable to the existing generic names of the previous editions. 2  Normative references There are no normative references in this document. 3  Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses: — ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp — IEC Electropedia: available at https:// www .electropedia .org/ 3.1 man-made fibre fibre obtained by a manufacturing process Note 1 to entry: The term “man-made” fibre can be named “manufactured” fibre or “chemical” fibre.
4  General 4.1  Table entries The entries in Table 1 are organized into five principal elements: generic name, other denominations, abbreviated terms, distinguishing attributes and chemical formulae. In some chemical formulae, k, m, n or p are used to express the repetition of the monomer or oligomer unit and R for radical group. The entries of Table D.1 in Annex D are an index of generic names in English and in French. The entries of Table E.1 in Annex E are an index of abbreviated terms in alphabetical order with English and French equivalents.
6  Designation of the bicomponent fibres Table 2 lists only some bicomponent fibres currently in use and is not exhaustive as all possible combinations (in relation to polymer couples and their structures, see B.2) are not developed.
