requirements, test methods, classifications,

recommended practices, and other considerations

 Precise and inaccurate

 Precise and accurate

Precision and Accuracy .

Benefits

 It defines safety requirements intended to

reduce the risk of accident.

 It sets a level of performance for products

 They are a framework for quality processes

 It reduces cost and saves money.

 Encapsulation of best practice - avoids

repetition of past mistakes.

 It facilitates communication and prevents misunderstanding.

 They provide continuity.

Applications

Instruments

Quality Control

 A set of activities or techniques whose

purpose is to ensure that all quality

requirements are being met by monitoring of processes and solving performance problems through Inspecting and Testing

( American Association for textile Chemists and Colorists )

 It began developing and establishing testing

Equipments associated with them

 Gray scale

 Chromatic transference scale

 Launderometer

 Atlas fade o meter

 Carbon arc lamp etc

( American Society for Testing and Materials )

 It was started in the year 1898.

 It have made products and services safer, better and more cost-effective.

 A trusted source for technical standards for materials,

products, systems, and services Known for their high

technical quality and market relevancy,

 Vol.7.01,7.02 Contains textile testing standards

Each ASTM test methods has a numerical designations

(American National Standard Institute )

 It adopted its present name in 1969

 It steadily increasing its efforts to coordinate and approve voluntary national standards

 Domestic programs were expanding and being modified to meet the changing needs of

industry, government and other sectors

( British Standard Institute )

 The world's first management systems quality

standard, BS 5750, was published by BSI in 1979.

 It produces standards and information products that promote and share best practice

 over 30,000 BSI standards and publications are

created

Numbering British Standards

The British Standards are titled as,

(International Organisation for Standardisation )

 It is the world's largest developer of standards, their principal

activity is to develop technical and economical standards

 The work is normally carried out through IS0 technical

committees.

 In addition may European and Domestic versions be publishes as:

EN ISO xxx:year = European version of the International

Standard

BS EN ISO xxx:year = British version of the International

Standard

Structure

ISO 9000:2000 Fundamentals and vocabulary

ISO 9004:2000

Guidelines for performance

improvements

ISO 9001:2000 Requirements

( Bureau of Indian Standards )

 It is a statutory body set up, established in 1986

 The Bureau is a body corporate and responsible for

formulating National Standards.

 It interests the field of standardization, quality control, quality management system, environmental

management system, laboratory management, etc

It has formulated a plan which emphasizes on :

 Development of complementary level of

standardization, namely, company standardization and association level standardization - Effective

implementation of standards through sectoral

committees, such as, textiles, power, etc.

 State Level Committees on Standardization and

Quality Systems to ensure better

implementation of Indian Standards.

JIN ( Japanese Industrial Standard )

 It specifies the standards used for industrial activities

in Japan

 The standardization process is coordinated by

Japanese Industrial Standards Committee (JISC)

 It mainly focuses on Textile Engineering.

 Yarn Reeling Machine

 Textile Machine, Braiding Machine

 Dyeing Finishing Machine

It Focuses on

( Canada Standard Association )

These standards falls into the following classifications :

 Dimensional: to secure uniformity, interchangeability

and simplification of the types and sizes of one product

 Qualitative: to assess fitness for purpose

 Methods of test : to provide a uniform, efficient and

economic basis of comparison between products

 Methods of use (Codes of Practice): to define the correct application of methods, materials and appliances.

DIN (German Standards Institute -

Deutsches Institut fuer Normung )

 It has been based in Berlin since 1917

 It’s primary task is to work closely with its stakeholders to develop consensus-based standards that meet market requirements

( Some Other Standards)

 EN ( European Standards )

 AS ( Australian Standards )
