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.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives ).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents ).

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, Textiles.

Introduction

Specialty textile products which can have the positive effect on human comfortable and hygienic life, such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral treated textiles, have been introduced in the market and are expanding year by year in various applications.

Now, contamination on textile products with specific proteins which show antigen-antibody reaction also can have the negative effect on human comfortable and hygienic life. There are high performance textile products which can reduce the amount of those specific proteins on textile products.

Because those products are relatively new and include the technical aspects of textile and biological technology, the testing methods have been developed by the individual procedures to evaluate the product performance. That has resulted in inexistence of a unified test method, hindering for both consumers and producers a true explanation or understanding of those functional products.

The demand to establish an international standard has been growing in the consumers, retailers, producers, etc. as stakeholders in the market.

This document provides a quantitative test method by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to assess the reduction activity of the specific proteins on textile products by taking proteins derived from pollen and mite-faeces or carcass as an example.

1 Scope

This document specifies a test method for the determination of reduction activity of textile products against specific proteins which shows antigen-antibody reaction. This document only specifies the reduction activity against those proteins on the surface of textile products. It does not specify a testing method to evaluate the allergenic reaction against human beings.

Specific proteins which show antigen-antibody reaction are proteins derived from pollen, mite and other sources. Other specific proteins can be used after appropriate validation described in this document.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is used to quantify the amount of those proteins in this document.

This document is applicable to textile products include woven, knitted and nonwoven fabrics, fibres, yarns, braids, etc.
