Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally 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 work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the 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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see
www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, Textiles, Subcommittee SC 24,
Conditioning atmospheres and physical tests for textile fabrics, in collaboration with the European
Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 248, Textiles and textile products,
in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
A list of all parts in the ISO 20932 series can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Textiles — Determination of the elasticity of fabrics —

Part 1:
Strip tests
AMENDMENT 1

3.19
Replace the definition and note to entry with the following:
ratio of recovered extension of the test specimen after cycling (to a specified force or specified
extension) to its initial length
Note 1 to entry The recovered elongation is the complement of the permanent deformation (3.18) to the
elongation (3.11).

Note 2 to entry Recovered elongation is expressed as a percentage.

9.1.12
Replace the sentence with the following:
Set the extension and retraction rate of the specimen at 100 % of the initial length per minute. It means
that, for examples, if the initial length is 100 mm, set up the rate at 100 mm/min; if the initial length is
200 mm, set up the rate at 200 mm/min.

Clause 11, a)
Replace item a) with the following:
a) Elongation, S%, expressed as a percentage, as shown in Formula (1):
E
S % = 100 × (1)
P
where

E is the extension (mm), increase in length of the initial distance (mm) between applied reference
marks at maximum force on the fifth cycle; or, in case a pretension is used, increase in length
of the clamp distance (mm) from the initial length (mm) at maximum force on the fifth cycle;

P is the initial distance (mm) between applied reference marks; or, in case a pretension is used,
the initial length (mm).

Clause 11, d)
Replace item d) with the following:
d) Permanent deformation, C, expressed as a distance, and permanent deformation C%, expressed as a
percentage, as shown in Formula (4) and in Formula (5), respectively:
C =Q−P (4)

Q−P
C % = 100 × (5)
P
where

Q is the distance (mm) between applied reference marks after the measurement and specified
recovery period; or, in case a pretension is used, the final clamp distance (mm) at pretension
after a specified recovery period;

P is the initial distance (mm) between applied reference marks; or, in case a pretension is used,
the initial length (mm). ”

Clause 11, e)
Replace item e) with the following:
e) Recovered extension, D, expressed as a distance, and recovered elongation D%, expressed as a
percentage, as shown in Formula (6) and in Formula (7), respectively:
D = E −C (6)

E −C
D% = 100 × (7)
P
where

E is the extension (mm) as measured in 11, a);

C is the permanent deformation (mm) as calculated in 11, d);

P is the initial distance (mm) between applied reference marks; or, in case a pretension is used,
the initial length (mm).

Clause 11, f)
Replace item f) with the following:
f) Elastic recovery, R, expressed as a distance, and elastic recovery R%, expressed as percentage as
shown in Formula (8) and in Formula (9), respectively:
R = ( P + E ) − Q = E − (Q − P ) = E − C (8)

E −C C
R% = 100 × = 100 ×  1 −  (9)
E  E
where

E is the extension (mm) as measured in 11, a);

C is the permanent deformation (mm) as calculated in 11, d).
