scope:

This Standard specifies three kinds of test methods, namely the release method, the dissolution method and the microscopy as the test methods for obtaining the mixture ratio of fibre mixed in textile goods. Before these test methods are applied, it is required that all fibres mixed in textile goods are identified. The fibre identification is specified in JIS L 1030-1.

Generally, for those textile products of fibre mixtures to which the release method is applicable, the release method shall be used, and for those to which it is not applicable, the dissolution method shall be used. For the textile products of fiber mixtures to which neither of the above methods is applicable, the microscopy shall be used.
