Textiles. Cotton fibres. Evaluation of maturity. Microscopic method. | Status: Current, Under review

1 Scope and field of application This International Standard specifies a method for the evaluation of the maturity of raw cotton fibres, or fibres taken from cotton articles which have not been chemically processed. It is applicable to test specimens taken at random. Annex B describes other methods of sampling, based on fibre sorter diagrams, or arranged fibres, which permit slightly more accurate appraisals of fibre maturity.
