National foreword

This British Standard is the English language version of EN 12127:1997. It supersedes Method 5 in BS 2471:1978 which is withdrawn by amendment.

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee TCI/24, Physical testing of textiles, which has the responsibility to:

– aid enquirers to understand the text;
– present to the responsible European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed;
– monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK.

A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary.
