ISO 13934-1 Tensile Strength (Strip Method): What Boutiques Ask Mills Before Suit Cloth Indent
Ask for the strip method by number, not for a lone Newton claim. ISO 13934-1:2013 Textiles — Tensile properties of fabrics — Part 1: Determination of maximum force and elongation at maximum force using the strip method is Edition 2 (2013-04), 12 pages, last confirmed in 2024. It is mainly for woven fabrics (including many stretch wovens), uses constant-rate-of-extension (CRE) machines only, and can be run dry in standard atmosphere or wet. It is not normally for geotextiles, nonwovens, coated fabrics, or glass/carbon/polyolefin-tape constructions.
What to put in the cloth brief
| Brief line | What to write | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Method | ISO 13934-1:2013 (strip) | Names max force + elongation at max force |
| Machine | CRE (constant rate of extension) | Standard restricts to CRE machines |
| State | Dry (standard atmosphere) and/or wet | Both are in scope — say which you need |
| Directions | Warp and weft (or as agreed) | Comparable lot-to-lot |
| Lot link | Mill lot on the report | Ties sealed sample cloth to tensile data |

Factory timing after the mill report
Attach the ISO 13934-1 report to the indent before Shi Yuan cuts the 7–14 day sample. After seal, bulk from 50 or MTM from 1 on that cloth should keep the same named tensile method. Production 14–21 days after written approval; production ≠ delivery.
"We are a suit factory, not a tensile lab. Ask the mill for ISO 13934-1:2013 strip results on the lot before sample seal. MTM from 1 and bulk from 50 both need the same cloth story." — Shi Yuan Suit Factory (statement built from published factory policy)
FAQ
What does ISO 13934-1 report?
Maximum force and elongation at maximum force of textile fabrics by the strip method on CRE machines (Edition 2, 2013; confirmed 2024).
Is ISO 13934-1 for every suit lining and coating?
No. ISO states it is not normally applicable to geotextiles, nonwovens, coated fabrics, textile-glass, carbon-fibre, or polyolefin-tape fabrics.
When should tensile data reach the factory?
With the cloth indent, before the 7–14 day sample, so sealed sample and bulk from 50 share one named method.
Core factory facts
- Manufacturing: MTM from 1, bulk OEM from 50, lead times
- Sample policy: sample fee, timing, revisions
- Process: specs, sample seal, QC
