This British Standard describes methods of test for all types of buttons for the fastening and ornamentation of wearing apparel.
NOTE 1 The tests cannot be directly related to laundering and dry-cleaning occurring in practice because other factors such as mechanical effects cannot be reproduced satisfactorily on a small scale, but they can be used to indicate the suitability of buttons for general and specific uses.
