GOST 28554-2022 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 28554-2022 — "Полотна трикотажные. Общие технические условия" (English: "Knitted fabrics. General specifications"). This interstate / national standard establishes terminology, technical requirements, test references and rules for acceptance, marking, packaging and storage for knitted fabrics (including coupons and garment parts) produced on various types of knitting equipment from different raw materials.

Abstract

GOST 28554-2022 provides general technical requirements for knitted fabrics: definition of covered products, requirements for composition, constructional parameters (mass per unit area, loop/density characteristics), dimensional tolerances, appearance and defect limits, performance properties (pilling, abrasion resistance, dimensional stability), sampling and testing references, and rules for marking, packaging and delivery. It updates and replaces the earlier GOST 28554-90 and aligns testing and composition analysis with relevant ISO/GOST test-method standards cited in its normative references.

Scope

This standard applies to knitted fabrics (полотна трикотажные), including production coupons and parts of garments made on a variety of knitting machines from different raw materials. It sets general requirements appropriate for manufacturers, testing laboratories and purchasers for assessing product compliance, and references specific measurement and test methods (ISO and GOST methods) for parameters such as fibre composition, mass per unit area, dimensional change on washing, pilling and abrasion resistance.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of knitted fabrics covered by the standard.
• Requirements for raw-material identification and declaration of fibre composition (reference to composition analysis standards such as ISO/GOST methods).
• Constructional parameters: mass per unit area (g/m²), thickness, loop/density characteristics and allowable dimensional tolerances.
• Appearance and quality: permitted types and sizes of defects, visual acceptance criteria and sampling rules for inspection.
• Physical performance: requirements and referenced test methods for pilling, abrasion resistance, dimensional stability (shrinkage), and other durability characteristics.
• Marking, labelling and information to be supplied (composition, care symbols, dimensions, batch or lot identification).
• Packaging, storage and transport requirements to preserve fabric quality during handling and delivery.
• Normative references: links to specific GOST and ISO test methods used to verify conformity (e.g., ISO/GOST methods for composition, pilling, abrasion, washing and dimensional change).

Typical use and users

Primary users are knitted-fabric manufacturers, quality-control and test laboratories, garment and textile product designers, procurement and compliance teams, and certification bodies operating in markets that reference GOST standards. The standard is used for in-house quality control, supplier specifications, contract acceptance criteria, and to support conformity assessment for trade within jurisdictions recognizing GOST / interstate standards.

Related standards

GOST 28554-2022 replaces GOST 28554-90. It cites and works together with numerous test and normative documents, for example standards for fibre composition analysis (ISO/GOST ISO 1833), pilling (ISO 12945-2 / GOST R equivalents), abrasion (ISO 12947-2), care labelling (ISO 3758 / GOST equivalents), dimensional change and conditioning (ISO 5077), and various GOSTs covering yarns, dyes and textile test procedures. Users should consult the normative references section of the standard for the full list of referenced GOST and ISO documents.
