4. About ASTM
• American Society for Testing and
Materials full abbreviation of
ASTM.
• But this organization known with
this name until 2001.
• Now this organization known
with ASTM International.
• This international standards
organization that develops and
publishes voluntary consensus
technical standards for a wide
range of materials, products,
systems, and services.

5. About ASTM
• ASTM International, formerly known as the
American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM), is a globally recognized leader in the
development and delivery of international
voluntary consensus standards.
• Today, some 12,000 ASTM standards are used
around the world to improve product quality,
enhance safety, facilitate market access and
trade, and build consumer confidence.
• ASTM’s leadership in international standards
development is driven by the contributions of
its members: more than 30,000 of the world’s
top technical experts and business
professionals representing 150 countries.

6. Standards of ASTM
• The standards produced by ASTM International fall into six
categories:
I. The Standard Specification
II. The Standard Test Method
III. The Standard Practice
IV. The Standard Guide
V. The Standard Classification
VI. The Terminology Standard

7. Textile Standards on ASTM
• ASTM's textile standards provide the specifications and test
methods for the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of
textiles, fabrics, and cloths, as well as the natural and artificial fibers
that constitute them.
• The textiles covered by these standards are commonly formed by
weaving, knitting, or spinning together fibers such as glass fiber
strands, wool and other animal fibers, cotton and other plant-
derived fibers, yarn, sewing threads, and mohair, to name a few.
• These textile standards help fabric and cloth designers and
manufacturers in testing textiles to ensure acceptable
characteristics towards proper end-use.

STANDARD SPECIFICATION FOR PERFORMANCE OF BONDED,
FUSED, AND LAMINATED APPAREL FABRICS
• This specification covers requirements for performance properties of bonded, fused, and
laminated apparel fabrics.
• The fabrics shall be classified according to shrinkage limits: Class I; Class II; and Class III.
• Puckering, crack marks, bubbles, blisters, pilling, and color change tests shall be performed to
determine its properties in accordance to the specified requirements.
• This specification covers requirements for performance properties of bonded, fused, and
laminated apparel fabrics.

10. ASTM D3780 - 14
STANDARD PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION FOR MEN’S AND BOYS’
WOVEN DRESS SUIT FABRICS AND WOVEN SPORTSWEAR JACKET,
SLACK, AND TROUSER FABRICS
• This performance specification covers men's and boys' woven dress suit fabrics and woven
sportswear jacket, slack, and trouser fabrics composed of any textile fiber or mixture of textile
fibers.
• This performance specification is not applicable to woven fabrics used for interlinings.
• These requirements apply to the length and width directions for those properties where fabric
direction is pertinent.

11. ASTM D6240 / D6240M - 12e1
STANDARD TABLES OF BODY MEASUREMENTS FOR MATURE MEN,
AGES 35 AND OLDER, SIZES THIRTY-FOUR TO FIFTY-TWO (34 TO 52)
SHORT, REGULAR, AND TALL
• The use of the body measurement information will assist manufacturers in developing patterns
and garments that are consistent with the current anthropometric characteristics of the
population of interest.
• The body measurements of mature male figure type, age 35 and older, sizes 34 through 52 in
Short, Regular, and Tall. Although these are body measurements, they can be used as a
baseline in designing apparel for Mature Men in this size range when considering such factors
as fabric type, ease for body movement, styling, and fit.
• The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be
used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-
conformance with the standard.

13. ASTM D6829 - 02(2008)
STANDARD TABLES OF BODY MEASUREMENTS FOR
JUNIORS, SIZES 0 TO 19
• The use of the body measurement information will assist manufacturers in developing patterns
and garments that are consistent with the current anthropometric characteristics of the
population of interest.
• Thes body measurements of young adult female junior figure type, sizes 0 to 19. Although
these are body measurements, they can be used as a baseline in designing apparel for young
women in this size range when considering such factors as fabric type, ease for body
movement, styling, and fit.
• The junior body is younger, not fully developed, with a higher waistline than other women's
size ranges.

14. ASTM D6545 - 10
STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR FLAMMABILITY OF TEXTILES
USED IN CHILDREN'S SLEEPWEAR
• This test method is suitable for evaluating flammability characteristics and laundering
durability of textiles used in the manufacture of children's sleepwear. It is not suitable for
evaluating the flammability characteristics of textiles for other product applications or ignition
scenarios.
• A textile used in children's sleepwear must be tested in its original state and after 50
laundering and drying cycles to assess the flame resistance of the textile relative to its use life.
• This test method is used to measure and describe the response of materials, products, or
assemblies to heat and flame under controlled conditions, but does not by itself incorporate all
factors required for fire hazard or fire risk assessment of the materials, products, or assemblies
under actual fire conditions.

15. ASTM D3136 - 14
STANDARD TERMINOLOGY RELATING TO CARE LABELING FOR
APPAREL, TEXTILE, HOME FURNISHING, AND LEATHER PRODUCTS
• This standard is a compilation of terminology developed by Subcommittee D13.62 on Labeling
that is related to refurbishing and labeling for apparel, textile, home furnishing, and leather
products other than upholstered furniture and floor coverings.
• This terminology provides a uniform language for the disclosure of care instructions on labels
that are to be attached to apparel, textile, home furnishing, and leather products according to
the Federal Trade Commission’s regulation 16 CFR, Part 423 (See 2.3).
• These terms, definitions and descriptions employ common meanings for the care instructions
required to be on textile products sold in the U.S.
