scope:

Specifies methods for the determination of seam maximum force of seams when the force is applied perpendicularly to the seam. This part of EN ISO 13935 describes the method known as grab test. The test is mainly applicable to woven textile fabrics. It may be applicable to fabrics produced by other techniques. It is not normally applicable to woven elastic fabrics, geotextiles, nonwovens, coated fabrics, textile-glass woven fabrics and fabrics made from carbon fibres or polyolefin tape yarns. The sewn fabrics may be obtained from previously sewn articles or may be prepared from fabric samples, as agreed by parties interested in the results.
