本文件定义了用于指定基于主要聚合物的不同类别人造纤维的通用名称，该聚合物目前以工业规模生产，用于纺织和其他用途，以及描述其特征的区别属性。术语“人造纤维”用于指通过制造工艺获得的纤维，与天然纤维形式的材料不同。 本文件给出了通用名称创建规则的建议（见附件A）。 注？这些规则已在ISO？2076第六版中引入，因此，它们不适用于之前版本的现有通用名称。

This document defines the generic names used to designate the different categories of man-made fibres, based on a main polymer, currently manufactured on an industrial scale for textile and other purposes, together with the distinguishing attributes that characterize them. The term “man-made fibres” has been adopted for those fibres obtained by a manufacturing process, as distinct from materials which occur naturally in fibrous form. This document gives recommendations of rules for the creation of the generic name (see Annex A). NOTE      These rules have been introduced in the sixth edition of ISO 2076, and thus, they are not applicable to the existing generic names of the previous editions.
