Why should you use BS EN 4429- Narrow woven fabrics aerospace series?
Narrow woven fabrics are any non-elastic woven textile that has small strips of fabric often designed for a specific and practical purpose. They are made by weaving, knitting, or braiding fibres or yarns. A warp bow is a deformation (or deflexion "f") that a narrow-woven fabric takes in its plane with respect to the rectilinear and parallel edges.
BS EN 4429 is part of the series of EN non-metallic materials for aerospace applications. The general organization of this series is described in EN 4385. BS EN 4429 is a level 2 standard as defined in EN 4385.
BS EN 4429 assists you with the normal laboratory/test house practices for the narrow woven fabrics to be used in the aerospace sector.
BS EN 4429 provides you with the principle and technique of the test methods described to verify the quality of narrow woven fabrics. It also discusses the types of materials used in the production.
BS EN 4429 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of textiles and fabrics to adhere to if they supply their fabrics for use by the aerospace and defence industry. 
By adopting BS EN 4429, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their textiles and fabrics and build trust for their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
