Wearable electronic devices and technologies - Part 201-4: Electronic textile - Test method for determining sheet resistance of conductive fabrics after abrasion (IEC 63203-201-4:2024); German version EN IEC 63203-201-4:2025

Title (German)

Tragbare elektronische Geräte und Technologien - Teil 201-4: Elektronische Textilien - Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Abriebfestigkeit von leitfähigen textilen Flächengebilden (IEC 63203-201-4:2024); Deutsche Fassung EN IEC 63203-201-4:2025

Overview

This document applies to woven and knitted fabrics, nonwovens, coated fabrics, and embroidered fabrics in which conductive yarns are used. This document specifies the test method and evaluation criteria for determining sheet resistance of conductive fabrics after abrasion. The abrasion test using the Martindale abrasion machine is demonstrated. The electrical properties of conductive textiles can be altered by surface wear, so that abrasion resistance becomes an important property for conductive textiles.
