Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established 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.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, Textiles, in collaboration with the
European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 248, Textiles and textile
products, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna
Agreement).
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition (ISO 2076:2013), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the mandatory Clause 2 (Normative references) has been added and subsequent clauses have been
renumbered;
— in Table 1, the definition of protein (5.28) has been modified, chitosan (5.36), polyacrylate (5.37),
polybenzoxazole (5.38) and polyarylate (5.39) as well as their respective definition have been
added;
— in Table D.1, chitosan, polyacrylate, polybenzoxazole and polyarylate have been added;
— in Table E.1, polybenzoxazole and polyarylate have been added;
— in Table F.2, protein (EU denomination) has been added.

Introduction
The objective of this document is to propose a generic name of fibre (a generic name is unique by nature)
within the framework of the ISO standardization for the textile products. It has been elaborated in order
to present a compilation of generic names and the rules to create a new generic name for new fibres.
[1] [3]
It is intended to be the reference for the ISO 1833 series and the Technical Report ISO/TR 11827 .
It can be used as a reference within the framework of the globalization since compilation of the generic
names of man-made fibres is important for the global distribution of textile products due to national
regulations for the declaration of fibre content and care labelling. It can be an answer to a universal
need for the standardization of generic names that would foster easy movement of textiles across
borders to facilitate trade, for example, for companies which might have plants in multiple countries
and have innovations and business activities covering research and development in fibre-producing.
This document can be helpful for the coordination of national or regional authorities (for examples,
FTC in the USA, European Commission in European Union, etc.) within the framework of regulations.
Annex F links the generic names to the specific requirements regarding some national or regional
regulations.
For example, products destined for the European market are labelled in accordance with the regulation
identified as Regulation (EU) No. 1007/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27
September 2011 on textile fibre names and relat
