This British Standard specifies requirements for woven fabrics and warp knitted fabrics for linings in uniform clothing suitable for use in the public and private sector. Requirements are specified for construction, mass per unit area, threads or wales/courses per unit length, strength, dimensional stability and colour fastness.
Recommended fabrics for various end uses are given in Appendix A. Appendix B gives a method for determination of thickness and thickness on recovery, Appendix C gives a method for determination of dimensional stability on heating and Appendix D gives a method for determination of infra-red reflectance.
Supplementary information for MoD contracts is given in Appendix E.
