This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
18、text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2002. Anexes A, B, C, D and E are for information only. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following count
19、ries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 1 Scope This Standard specifies requirements for the
20、 following: a) Three categories of cabinet towel, the categories being defined in terms of mass per unit area and tensile strength of the fabric; certain constructional and performance requirements are also covered. b) Process validation procedures to ensure that cabinet towels achieve the condition
21、 of hygienic cleanliness in processing. It also contains informative annexes containing the following: -an example of suitable fabric structure, -recommendations for the care, use and transportation of cabinet towels after processing, -examples of key process variables for disinfection, -the prepara
22、tion and application of bioindicators for the validation of the process to achieve hygienic cleanliness. The colour fastness to washing test and the requirement level are based on the assumption that chlorine bleaching treatments will not be used in laundering. 2 Normative references This European S

29、a clean length of towelling is provided, either automatically or through manual action, for the purpose of drying the hands of the user 4 Characteristics of the towel 4.1 Functional characteristics 4.1.1 General The functional characteristics are dictated by the requirements of rolling and unrolling
30、 the towel in the dispenser and of the wiping and drying of the hands. 4.1.2 Strength and selvedges The towel needs to have sufficient strength (see Table 1) to withstand the pulling action exerted when the towel is rolled and unrolled as well as when the hands are wiped and dried by the user. Selve
31、dges need to be constructed so the towel rolls and unrolls correctly within the dispenser for which it is designed (See 4.2.2.2). 4.1.3 Wiping function In order to wipe the hands effectively the towel needs to be readily moulded by the hands and fingers, exert sufficient friction to feel comfortable
32、 when in contact with the skin, and present an irregular surface to improve the removal of residual substances from the hands. These attributes can only be assessed subjectively.

33、E) 5 4.1.4 Drying function The fabric shall have a high capacity for the rapid absorption of water. The liquid absorbancy time is taken as measure for the drying properties (see 4.2.2.1). 4.1.5 Cleanliness For the purposes of this standard, a towel shall be considered to be hygienically clean when t
34、reated in a disinfecting process carried out according to a validated washing and finishing procedure (see clause 6). As micro-organisms may start to multiply as soon as the disinfecting process is complete, its effectiveness is maintained by the removal of soil and stains (sources of nutrients) and
35、 adequately drying the towel. NOTEMoisture and a source of nutrients are required by the micro-organisms in order to multiply. 4.2 Technical characteristics 4.2.1 Fibres Cotton or man-made fibres or blends shall be used to produce plain or twisted yarns for weaving the fabric. NOTEThe introduction o
36、f polyester has the effect of augmenting the resistance to pilling and abrasion, but reducing the absorption capacity (e.g. The introduction of 50 % polyester reduces the absorption capacity by approximately 25 %), conversaly the introduction of man-made fibres can augment the absorption; for exampl
37、e a mixture composed of 62 % cotton, 25 % polyester and 13 % viscose has a similar rate of absorption capacity to that of a 100 % cotton fabric. 4.2.2 Fabric 4.2.2.1 Properties and performance a) Fabrics shall conform to the requirements shown in Table 1. The requirements of Table 1 apply to towels,
38、 which have been bleached in manufacture, and prior to the first processing (see 4.1.5) in the laundry. NOTEBleaching by the manufacturer before supply to the laundry is the more common practice. If the conditions of supply vary, then the point at which the performance requirements apply will vary a
39、lso and some ammendment of the values given in Table 1 may be needed. b) Dyed fabrics shall also comply with the requirements shown in Table 2.

Selvedges shall be constructed so the towel rolls and unrolls correctly within the dispenser for which it is designed. Because of their i
43、mportance to the performance of the towel and the functioning of the cabinet, selvedges should be properly constructed. NOTE 1Some towels may include polyester yarns in the selvedge to provide extra strength. There is, at present, no agreed meaningful test for selvedge performance. NOTE 2Examples of
44、 suitable structures are given in annex A. 4.3 Suitability for dispensers 4.3.1 General The towel under normal tension shall fit easily into the compartments of the dispenser cabinet for which it is intended to be used and its width shall not exceed that of the entry and exit openings of the dispens
45、er.

46、, and the stated width from 0,19 m to 0,30 m (measured according to EN 1773). However, particular types of dispenser may require towels of different dimensions. The towel shall be capable of being loaded in such a way that it will allow the dispenser, for which it is designed, to function properly w
