MS ISO 2076:2013 Textiles – Man-made fibres – Generic names

Scope:
This International Standard lists the generic names used to designate the different categories of manmade fibres, based on a main polymer, currently manufactured on an industrial scale for textile and other purposes, together with the distinguishing attributes that characterize them. The term “manmade fibres”, sometimes also called manufactured fibres, has been adopted for those fibres obtained by a manufacturing process, as distinct from materials which occur naturally in fibrous form.
