Overview
oSIST prEN ISO 18636:2025 specifies the standardized method for determining the mechanical properties of rubber or plastic coated fabrics, with a focus on measuring elongation under load and residual deformation. Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) in alignment with ISO and CEN, this document enables consistent, reliable testing of coated textile materials in various industrial and commercial applications. By outlining clear procedures for mechanical testing, it ensures quality control, compliance, and comparability for coated fabrics used across multiple sectors.
Key Topics
- Test Preparation and Specimen Handling
- Guidelines for cutting, marking, and measuring specimens.
- Testing is required in both principal directions (such as warp and weft for woven fabrics).
- Mechanical Loading and Elongation Measurement
- Loading procedure using calibrated devices with precise mass regulation.
- Measurement of elongation during loading to assess fabric stretch behavior.
- Residual Deformation Assessment
- Calculation of deformation remaining after removal of the load and specified relaxation period.
- Optional procedure for assessing residual deformation following heat exposure, simulating aging or thermal stress.
- Test Reporting
- Requirements for comprehensive documentation, including test conditions, methods, and results for traceability and reproducibility.
Applications
The standard is highly relevant to industries and laboratories engaged in the manufacturing, specification, and quality assurance of coated textiles. Typical application areas include:
- Architectural Structures: Verification of elongation and deformation characteristics for coated fabrics in tensioned membrane structures, roofs, and awnings where mechanical stability is critical.
- Upholstery and Furnishings: Assessment of coated fabrics used in furniture, automotive interiors, and transport seating to ensure durability and material consistency under repeated mechanical loading.
- Industrial Fabrics: Quality control for conveyor belts, protective clothing, and technical textiles where mechanical performance is a key safety and operational factor.
- Product Development and Research: Support for research and development work in new coated fabric products where validated mechanical property data is required for performance modeling and regulatory compliance.
By providing an internationally recognized method for testing, oSIST prEN ISO 18636:2025 ensures that results from different producers and testing laboratories are consistent and can be directly compared, facilitating international trade and quality assurance.
Related Standards
Implementation of oSIST prEN ISO 18636:2025 may require reference to other important standards in the field of coated fabrics:
- ISO 1419:2019: Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics - Accelerated-ageing tests, to simulate long-term environmental exposure and its impact on mechanical properties.
- ISO 2231: Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics - Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing, ensuring specimens are tested under consistent environmental conditions.
Additional standards may be relevant depending on the end-use requirements, such as those addressing fire resistance, chemical durability, or other specialized mechanical tests.

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).
