This International Standard establishes a vocabulary of terms relative to knitting machines and accessories used in the knitting industry. It classifies these terms according to main characteristic and customary machine type. NOTE In addition to terms given in the two official ISO languages (English and French), this International Standard gives the equivalent terms in German, under the responsibility of the member body for Germany (DIN). However, only the terms and definitions given in the official languages can be considered as ISO terms and definitions.
