edby Not for Resale Foreword ISo (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (iSo member bodies). The work of developing International Standards is carried out through iso technical committees. Every member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been authorized has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with iso, also take part in the work. Draft Internationai Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the ISO Council. International StandardISo7211/1was developedbyTechnical Committee ISO/TC 38, Textiles, and was circulated to the member bodies in November 1982. It has been approved by the member bodies of the following countries: Australia Iran Romania Belgium Iraq South Africa, Rep. of Brazil Israel Spain Bulgaria Italy Sweden Canada Jamaica Tanzania China Japan Thailand Czechoslovakia Korea,Rep.of Turkey Egypt, Arab Rep. of Mexico United Kingdom Finland Netherlands USSR Ghana New Zealand Venezuela Hungary Poland India Portugal The member body of the following country expressed disapproval of the document on technical grounds : France InternationalOrganizationforStandardization,1984 Printed inSwitzerland Copyrightlintemational Organization for Standardization No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale ISO7211/1-1984(E) INTERNATIONALSTANDARD Textiles - Woven fabrics - Construction - Methods of analysis Part 1: Methods for the presentation of a weave diagram and plans for drafting, denting and lifting 0 Introduction 3 Principle Although drafting, denting and lifting plans are not strictly The weave repeat shown on design paper is adopted as the within the province of fabric analysis, it has been thought con- means for showing the weave of the fabric, and provision is venient to include methods for their presentation in this part of made in the repeat for showing the disposition of different this International Standard.
