Description (English):

The purpose is to define woven-fabric defects, i.e. those characteristics that have been unintentionally introduced into the fabric. The presence of one or other of these characteristics in a fabric does not automatically imply that the fabric is sub-standard. Divided in general defects, yarn defects in a woven fabric, defects in the weft direction, defects in the warp direction, defects due to, or apparent after, dyeing, printing or finishing, defects of, or associated with, the selvedges.

Abstract

Overview

ISO 8498:1990 - Woven fabrics - Description of defects - Vocabulary is an international vocabulary standard that defines common defects found in woven piece‑goods. The document catalogues unintended fabric characteristics (yarn flaws, weft/warp faults, finishing and selvedge issues) and provides bilingual English/French terminology. ISO 8498 is a descriptive tool for fabric inspection and communication; it does not set acceptance limits or quality criteria - suppliers and purchasers must agree on tolerances based on intended use.

Key Topics

Scope & purpose: Defines woven‑fabric defects and clarifies that a named defect is not automatically a rejection criterion.
Standardized definitions (Section 1): Core vocabulary such as band, line, streak, stripe, and a bilingual alphabetical index.
Yarn defects (Section 2): Examples include bright yarn, broken filaments, slubs/gouts, soiled yarn, split yarn and faulty texturing.
Weft defects (Section 3): Terms for broken or dropped picks, thick or coarse picks, double pick, dragged‑in weft, kinky/looped weft, mispick, missing pick, and mixed filling.
Warp defects (Section 4): Corresponding warp‑direction faults (defined analogously to weft defects).
Finishing defects (Section 5): Defects due to or revealed after dyeing, printing or finishing.
Selvedge defects (Section 6) and general defects (Section 7): Terms for edge problems and overall fabric faults.
Bilingual indexing: English and French term lists for international use.

Applications

Quality control & inspection: Standardized defect names for production inspections, daily QC checklists, and non‑conformance reports.
Purchasing & contracts: Unambiguous vocabulary for technical specifications, purchase orders and dispute resolution between suppliers and buyers.
Testing laboratories & reporting: Consistent terminology in lab test reports and certification documents.
Training & documentation: Teaching textile inspectors, engineers and operatives to recognize and report defects.
Digital systems: Tagging defects in ERP/MES, image‑based inspection and traceability workflows.

Who should use it

Textile manufacturers, quality inspectors, buyers, third‑party testing labs, product developers, textile engineers and standards writers who need a consistent vocabulary for woven‑fabric defects.

Prepared by ISO/TC 38 (Textiles). For acceptance criteria and measurement methods, refer to other ISO textile standards and national quality specifications developed by ISO/TC 38.
