1.1 本性能规范涵盖针织泳衣用圆形和经编织物，由任何纺织纤维或纺织纤维混合物组成。 1.2 这些要求适用于与织物方向相关的性能的长度和宽度方向。 1.3 以下预防声明仅适用于第节的测试方法部分 7. 。 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。 本标准的使用者有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.4 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认的标准化原则制定的。 ===意义和用途====== 5.1 根据买方和卖方的共同协议，用于该最终用途的织物应符合 表1 本规范。 5.2 人们认识到，出于时尚或美观的目的，由这些织物制成的物品的最终消费者可能会发现可接受的织物不符合 表1 。因此，中列出的一个或多个要求 表1 可通过买方和卖方之间的共同协议进行修改。 5.2.1 在这种情况下，任何对规范的引用都应规定:“这种织物符合ASTM规范 D3996 以下特征除外。” 5.3 如果买方和卖方之间没有达成预购协议，并且在存在争议的情况下 表1 仅用作指南。如中所述 5.2 ，消费者的最终需求决定了任何特定风格织物的不同性能参数。 5.4 特定性能和测试方法的重要性和用途在指定测试方法的适当章节中进行了讨论。

1.1 This performance specification covers circular and warp knitted fabrics for use in knit swimwear, composed of any textile fiber or mixture of textile fibers. 1.2 These requirements apply to both the length and width directions for those properties where fabric direction is pertinent. 1.3 The following precautionary statement pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 7 , of this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 Upon mutual agreement between the purchaser and the seller, fabrics intended for this end use should meet all of the requirements listed in Table 1 of this specification. 5.2 It is recognized that for purposes of fashion or aesthetics the ultimate consumer of articles made from these fabrics may find acceptable fabrics that do not conform to all of the requirements in Table 1 . Therefore, one or more of the requirements listed in Table 1 may be modified by mutual agreement between the purchaser and the seller. 5.2.1 In such cases, any references to the specification shall specify that: “This fabric meets ASTM Specification D3996 except for the following characteristic(s).” 5.3 Where no prepurchase agreement has been reached between the purchaser and the seller, and in case of controversy, the requirements listed in Table 1 are intended to be used as a guide only. As noted in 5.2 , ultimate consumer demands dictate varying performance parameters for any particular style of fabric. 5.4 The significance and use of particular properties and test methods are discussed in the appropriate sections of the specified test methods.
