JSA JIS L 1059-1

Abstract

This Standard specifies the testing method for evaluation of crease recovery of textiles from the creasing of fabrics by measuring the angle of recovery (Monsant method). <br>The results obtained by this method for fabrics of very different types cannot be compared directly. Attention is drawn to the fact that for some types of fabrics, the limpness, thickness and tendency to curl may give rise to very ill-defined crease recovery angles, and an unacceptable lack of precision in measurements. Many wool and wool mixture fabrics come under this heading. <br>NOTE: The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows. <br>ISO 2313 : 1972 <em>Textile fabrics - Determination of the recovery from creasing of a horizontally folded specimen by measuring the angle of recovery</em> (MOD) <br>In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and <strong>JIS</strong> are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to <strong>ISO/lEC Guide 21</strong>.
