This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2002. EN 13417 consists of the following parts, under the general titre “Reinforcement Specifications for woven fabrics“: ? Part 1 : Designation ? Part 2 : Methods of test and general requirements ? Part 3 : Specific requirements This standard includes a Bibliography. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 1 Scope 1.1This Part 1 of EN 13417 establishes a method of designation for woven fabrics which may be used as a basis for specifications of fabrics used for the reinforcement of plastics. 1.2This designation system applies to fabrics made from para-aramid, carbon, glass, polyethylene, polyester and ceramic fibre in the form of single yarns, plied yarns, cabled yarns, textured yarns, rovings, tows, etc. and which are intended to provide reinforcement in plastic composite materials. The material used may be used on its own or in combination (hybrids). 1.3The designation of a fabric is structured in a product hierarchy which includes several levels which determine families and sub-families of fabrics. It is not intended that this hierarchy takes into account all the attributes of individual fabrics which may use different yarn types or different yarn counts. Neither is it intended to imply that woven fabrics having the same designation give necessarily the same performance. This Part 1 of EN 13417 does not give engineering data, performance data or data which may be required to specify woven fabrics for a particular application or method of processing. If such additional properties are required they shall be determined in accordance with the test methods specified in EN 13417-2. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).

Additional terms are defined in Part 2 of this standard. 4 Designation System The designation system for woven reinforcement fabrics is based on the following standardised pattern (see Note) Designation Identity BlockIndividual Item Block Data BlockData BlockData BlockData Block Standard Number Block 1234 It consists of an Identity Block comprising the European Standard number and an Individual Item Block. For unambiguous coding the Individual Item Block is subdivided into 4 data blocks comprising the following information: ? Block 1 : Identification of the reinforcing material type and grade ? Block 2 : Construction fabric properties ? Block 3 : Weight in g/m2 ? Block 4 : Warp/weft ratio (used only for unidirectional, mixed and hybrid fabrics) To ensure legibility: ? the description blocks shall be under square brackets; ? spaces shall be inserted between blocks; ? individual positions inside blocks shall be separated from each other by a stroke between two spaces; ? if a data block is not used, the block does not appear. NOTEThis standardised pattern is a modification of the frame text given in ISO 1043-2, adapted to the designation of these reinforcement products. 4.1 Data Block 1 In this data block the material type and grade are identified by letters according to Table 1. In the case of combinations of different materials (hybrid or mixed fabrics), the different materials and grade shall be identified by their letters with each constituent separated by a comma. The materials shall appear in descending order of their content by weight in the fabric. For each constituent the letters shall be followed by a number equal to the percentage content by total weight rounded to the nearest 5 %.

NOTE“nt0“ , when occuring, means a collection of n parallel (0 twist) yarns. In positions 3 and 4: the yarn count (given in ends per cm for warp and picks per cm for weft). In position 5: the weave type (identified by letters according to Table 2 ; see ISO 2113 for information).

This is the nominal mass per unit area around which the specific tolerances shall be given in the applicable clause of Part 3 of this standard.

For Unidirectional fabrics, the ratio is identified by a number equal to the percentage of the total fabric weight per unit area which is in the warp. For mixed and hybrids, it is recognised that the warp/weft ratio may not be fully proportional to the weave density in the 2 directions in the case of hybrids, due to the potentially different material densities. 5 Coding Example for a woven glass fibre fabric European Standard Data block 1 Glass fibre reinforcement, E Glass Data block 2 Yarn designation, yarn count and weave type Data block 3 Weight in grams per square meter EN 13417G/EEC9 68/EC9 68/17.4/12/PL203 6 Coding Example for a woven carbon fibre fabric European Standard Data block 1 Carbon fibre reinforcement, High Tenacity grade Data block 2 Yarn designation, yarn count and weave type Data block 3 Weight in grams per square meter EN 13417C/HTCF 67/CF 67/7/7 PL93 Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Sun Oct 29 12:45:07 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI EN 13417-1:2001 (E) 7 Bibliography ISO 2113, Reinforcement fibres - Woven fabrics - Basis for a specification.
