PD CEN/TS 17394-3:2021 PDF Download

A test procedure that focuses exclusively on the safety of the attachment of metal mechanically applied press fasteners to children's clothes is the PD CEN/TS 17394-3:2021 standard. It covers a wide range of garment accessories, including ties, belts made of textile, gloves, hats, scarves, and hosiery. The standard's goal is to guarantee that these press fasteners are firmly fastened to the clothing, ensuring functionality and averting any potential risks.

It is significant to note that this test method excludes eyelets and rivets since their integrity may be compromised by the testing procedure's gripping action when they are linked to textile fibers. The CEN/TS 17394-4:2021 standard evaluates eyelets and rivets independently.

The standard expressly excludes a number of items from its purview, including child care items, footwear, including shoes and boots, toys (which are governed by the Toy Safety Directive), and other things marketed as clothing. These goods have their own distinct standards and are governed by various CEN Technical Committees.

The document also states that only mechanically applied metal components are covered at this time, indicating that efforts are being made to create standards for all garment components. Additional references to pertinent standards are supplied for the security of the attachment of buttons and other components, respectively, including EN 17394-2:2020 and CEN/TS 17394-4:2021.
