Revised Standard from Last Update.

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard prescribes the constructional details and other particulars of scoured or bleached wool-cotton rib-knitted underpants.

NOTE - The description ‘wool-cotton’ indicates that underpants are made with worsted yarn and cotton yarn, in such a way that the cotton yarn shall appear in the middle of two layers of wool yarn due to rib construction. The proportion of the worsted yarn and cotton yarn in the fabric shall be 55 percent and 45 percent by mass respectively except the bottoms of the legs, which would be knitted with worsted yarn only. The mass of this portion is approximately 40 g.

1.2 This standard does not specify the general appearance, feel, shade, etc of the underpants (see also 5.4).
