— Fibres and yarns —

Determination of commercial mass of consignments — Part 1: Mass determination and calculations, published 1989-07-01 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and is reprinted with the permission of ISO. The international standard was reviewed by the CGSB committee to determine its suitability for Canadian use. It was agreed to use it in total, without editorial changes.
