Methods and Terminology. It is identical in content and in layout with International Standard ISO 6741-2, Textiles

— Fibres and yarns — Determination of commercial mass of consignments — Part 2: Methods for obtaining

laboratory samples, published 1987-04-15 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.

than the point.
