Narrow elastic fabrics and strip 1 Scope 1.1 This standard specifies performance requirements for narrow woven, knitted and braided elastic fabrics and for narrow elastic in strip form. 1.2 This standard is not applicable to elastics intended for high load-bearing applications, for example, bungy cords. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standard. All standards are subject to revision and, since any reference to a standard is deemed to be a reference to the latest edition of that standard, parties to agreements based on this standard are encouraged to take steps to ensure the use of the most recent editions of the standards indicated below.
