NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 1) which is identical with ISO 16322-1 : 2005 ‘Textiles - Determination of spirality after laundering - Part 1: Percentage of wale spirality change in knitted garments’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Physical Methods of Test Sectional Committee and approval of the Textile Division Council.

Since ISO 16322 has been published in three parts, this standard has also been published in three parts. Other parts in this series are:

Part 2 Woven and knitted fabrics

Part 3 Woven and knitted garments

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain 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.
