General Information
- Abstract
ISO 2286-2:2016 specifies methods of determining the total mass per unit area, the mass per unit area of the coating and the mass per unit area of the substrate cloth of a rubber- or plastics-coated fabric. Methods for removing coatings of specific compositions are described in Annex A.

Overview
EN ISO 2286-2:2016 specifies standardized laboratory methods for measuring the total mass per unit area, the mass per unit area of the coating, and the mass per unit area of the substrate of rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics. Part of the ISO 2286 series on roll characteristics, this document defines sampling, test-piece preparation, conditioning, measurement and calculation procedures used by manufacturers, test laboratories and specifiers to quantify key material properties.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Measurement methods for coated textiles to determine total fabric mass and to separate coating and substrate mass contributions.
- Sampling & test pieces: Cut five test pieces spaced diagonally across the usable width (exclude 50 mm from edges and avoid within 1 m of roll ends). A cutter capable of producing a test area of 100 cm2 ± 1 cm2 is recommended.
- Apparatus: Precision balance readable to 1 mg or better. Controlled drying atmosphere capability (relative humidity ≤ 10 % at 65 °C ± 5 °C) if drying is required.
- Conditioning: After any drying, condition specimens per ISO 2231:1989 (method “1”) before mass determination.
- Calculation: Convert mass (g) and area (cm2) to mass per unit area (g/m2) using M = (m × 10 000) / A and report the mean of five determinations to the nearest 1 g/m2.
- Coating removal: Annex A provides specific coating‑removal methods for certain coating compositions so that substrate mass can be determined accurately.
- Reporting: Test report items are defined, including specimen details, conditioning, measured masses and calculated results.
Applications and users
EN ISO 2286-2:2016 is used for:
- Quality control in production of coated fabrics (PVC, rubber-coated textiles).
- Incoming material inspection by manufacturers of tarpaulins, conveyor belts, inflatable products, awnings, and technical textiles.
- Product specification and procurement - to verify supplier claims on areal mass and coating weight.
- Failure analysis and R&D - to correlate coating/substrate mass with mechanical performance, durability and coating adhesion.
Primary users: textile and rubber product manufacturers, independent testing laboratories, product engineers, standards and compliance teams.
Related standards
- EN/ISO 2286-1 - length, width and net mass of rolls.
- EN/ISO 2286-3 - thickness measurement.
- ISO 2231 - standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing (referenced for conditioning procedures).

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
