This International Standard defines basic terms used in the winding of yarns, onto formers or other suitable devices, by means of winding machines. This does not exclude the use of the terms in question for other textile processes, for example, spinning, twisting. This International Standard applies also to yarn-like textile materials such as filaments and man-made tapes. In this International Standard the word "yarn" will designate yarns properly so called as well as filaments and man-made tapes. NOTE — In addition to terms used in the three official ISO languages (English, French and Russian), this International Standard defines, in annexes A and B, the equivalent terms In the German and Italian languages; these have been included for information at the request of Technical Committee ISO/TC 72, and the member bodies for Germany (DIN) and Switzerland (SNV) have verified their correctness for the German version, and the member body for Italy (UNI) for the Italian version. However, only the terms and definitions given in the official languages can be considered as ISO terms and definitions.
