New Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with ISO 8516 : 2011 ‘Textile glass - Textured yarns - Basis for a specification’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, on recommendation of the Technical Textile Components of Composites and High-Performance Fibres Sectional Committee and approval of the Textiles Division Council.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
