21、 of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2016, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2016. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
22、patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,

24、and the United Kingdom. BS EN 16732:2015EN 16732:2015 (E) 6 Introduction The different types of slide fasteners are defined by the material of the elements (teeth), which form their slide fastener chains. They can be of metallic, moulded plastic or monofilament plastic construction. Metallic element
25、s can be produced from flat or profiled wire and are usually clamped around the edge of a beaded tape. An alternative approach is to cast metallic elements directly onto such a tape. Similarly, plastic elements can be moulded onto a beaded tape. Such cast or moulded elements might have projections o
26、n which the slider operates to reduce abrasion of the tape. Plastic coil slide fasteners have polyamide or polyester monofilaments that are wound into coils to form engaging elements. The coils can be attached to the face of flat tapes by sewing. Alternatively, the coils can be woven or knitted into
27、 the tapes as they are constructed. Monofilament plastic elements can also be of the meander type, which straddle the tape edge. Typical slide fastener chain types are shown in Figure 1. BS EN 16732:2015EN 16732:2015 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard specifies performance levels and test methods
28、for the following characteristics of slide fasteners made from interlocking components mounted on tapes: strengths of puller attachment, closed-end, top stop, open-end slide fastener box, reciprocating mechanism, closed slide fastener when extended laterally, open-end attachment when extended latera
29、lly, slider locking device, and open-end slide fastener single stringer slider retention and slider resistance to torque. NOTE The tests specified in Annexes B to K have been specifically devised to permit their direct application to finished slide fasteners with a view to giving the user reasonable
30、 assurance that a slide fastener conforming to the requirements of this standard can satisfactorily fulfil its intended purpose. Annex L gives information about sampling procedures for bulk quantities of slide fasteners. In addition, performance levels are also specified for colour fastness to washi
31、ng, dry cleaning and water, and for dimensional stability to washing and dry cleaning. This European Standard is applicable to slide fasteners for general use and is not applicable to slide fasteners for specialist purposes (for example: pressure sealed slide fasteners for diving suits). 2 Normative

37、terms and definitions apply. 3.1 slide fastener (zip) fastening device consisting of two flexible, interlocking stringers, with or without end stops, and one or more sliders so arranged that by moving the slider along the stringers in one direction an opening is formed, and by moving it in the other
38、 direction the opening is closed 3.2 stringer tape with an attached row of elements designed to interlock with a row similarly attached to another tape 3.3 tape narrow fabric to which elements are fitted 3.4 element (tooth) engaging component fixed to the edge of the tape (see Figure 2) 3.5 slider m
39、oving component consisting essentially of a slider body and, normally, a puller which opens or closes the slide fastener by separating or engaging the single elements of the stringer Note 1 to entry: The slider might incorporate a locking device. Alternative slider types are available with a flip-ov
40、er puller or double pullers, to facilitate operation from both front and back sides. 3.6 slider body component that joins or separates the elements when sliding along the two stringers of slide fastener 3.7 puller fitting attached to the slider body to facilitate manipulation 3.8 locking device devi
41、ce incorporated in the slider unit restricting its free movement along the slide fastener length in an opening direction Note 1 to entry: The locking device might operate either automatically on release of the puller or by manual pressure on the puller. 3.9 slide fastener length distance from the to
42、p of the slider to the bottom of the bottom stop, or box in the case of an open-end slide fastener, measured with the slider in the top position and with the puller in the downward position (see Figure 2) Note 1 to entry: Some suppliers measure the effective length of slide fasteners from the top of
43、 the slider to the bottom edge of the tape, especially in the case of two way open-end slide fasteners. BS EN 16732:2015EN 16732:2015 (E) 9 3.10 bottom stop stop at the bottom end of the chain that checks the opening movement of the slider Note 1 to entry: See Figure 2a), (Key n. 5). 3.11 top stop s

45、hichever is the greater Note 1 to entry: See Figure 2b), (Key n.6). 3.14 bottom end end which is adjacent to the slider when the device is fully open 3.15 top end end which is adjacent to the slider when the device is fully closed 3.16 open-end slide fastener slide fastener having a special fitment

47、ne stringer, which fits into a box permanently fixed to the bottom end of the other stringer. Note 2 to entry: See Figure 3c) and 4a). 3.17 closed-end slide fastener slide fastener which does not permit the complete separation of the two stringers Note 1 to entry: Normally the top end of the slide f
