Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction

Taiji sword (Taijijian) is an important component of Taiji sport and is one of the short weapons in Taiji.

The art of Taiji is a moderate form of exercise with slow and gentle movements, which are easy to learn, helpful for people to maintain peaceful mind and good physical health.

With the increasing popularity of Taiji swords, which are used worldwide, a variety of products have emerged, resulting in inconsistent product specifications and uneven quality.

So far, there is no unified standard at the global level. Therefore, this document is intended to support the promotion of Taiji sports and the development of trade among various countries and regions, with the aim of maintaining the consumers’ safety and interests and providing an international platform for production and marketing enterprises.
