Construction and minimum performance.

This Part of BS 1771 specifies constructional requirements and minimum performance requirements for a range of wool fabrics and fabrics of wool and other fibres, used for the manufacture of uniforms and workwear garments.

Reference numbers have been allocated to the fabrics listed, with the aim of assisting the non-technical purchaser in making a choice of fabric type for his known end-usage. Appendices are included to provide further assistance by recommending fabrics for fire service, local authority, constabulary and hospital use, and to give supplementary information for MoD contracts. This Part includes a cross-reference table giving the item names and descriptions, the MoD pattern numbers, the NATO stock numbers and fabric widths and additional details.
