This Standard applies to textiles for e.g. a mosquito net, curtain and tent which are used for separating the activity area of mosquitoes from human habitation area.

This Standard is applicable to textiles used for e.g. clothing through which mosquitoes are expected to suck blood.

The procedures are applicable to textile fabrics, garments or other textile articles which are subjected to appropriate combinations of domestic washing and drying procedures.

Provision of this Standard

Provision is made for as follows.

a) 13 different washing procedures based on the use of the reference washing machine Type A.

b) 11 procedures based on the use of the reference washing machine Type B.

c) 7 procedures based on the use of the reference washing machine Type C.

Washing procedure

Each washing procedure represents a single domestic wash.

Drying procedure

This Standard specifies six drying procedures:

A- Line dry

B – Drip line dry

C – Flat dry

D – Drip flat dry

E – Flat press

F – Tumble dry

Provision of test

A complete test consists of a washing and drying procedure.

NOTES 1 Use of different parameters (washing machine type, detergent type and type of tumble drier) may affect test results for any test using this Standard.

Therefore, parties using this Standard are strongly encouraged to agree on the parameters to be used.

2 The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.

ISO 6330 : 2012 Textiles – Domestic washing and drying procedures for textile testing (MOD)

In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standards andJIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/lEC Guide 21-1.

The mechanical action test method using WAT cloth is described in Annex A.

When a specimen has different coloured patterns or structures depending on the part, the part to be measured may be agreed upon between the interested parties

NOTE If the product is designed to be worn stretched, the elongation percentage is recommended to be agreed upon between the interested parties.

"Shirts" as referred to in this Standard include long-sleeved and short-sleeved shirts for which fitting property of collar girth and sleeve length is strongly required, and do not include casual shirts.

The textile products include woven and knitted fabrics, fibres, yarns, braids, etc.

Viruses used in this Standard are as follows (see Annex A).

– Influenza virus: one of enveloped viruses, which is an infective virus in humans that causes respiratory tract infection

– Feline calicivirus: one of non-enveloped viruses, which is one of surrogates of noroviruses which are important enteric pathogens

NOTE: The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.

ISO 18184: 2014 Textiles-Determination of antiviral activity of textile products (MOD)

In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/IEC Guide 21-1.

This Standard is applicable to various kinds of textile products, such as yarns, woven and nonwoven fabrics, clothing, bedclothes, home furnishings and other miscellaneous goods.

Based on the intended application and on the environment in which the textile product is to be used, the user can select the most suitable evaluation method from the following methods.

a) Absorption method An evaluation method in which spore suspension is inoculated directly onto the specimens.

b) Transfer method An evaluation method in which test fungi are placed on an agar plate and printed onto the specimens.

NOTE: The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.

ISO 13629-1: 2012Textiles-Determination of antifungal activity of textile products-Part 1: Luminescence method (MOD)

In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standards and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/IEC Guide 21-1.
