SI 1147 - The elastic properties of flat, non-adhesive, extensible fabric bandages; (6 page(s), in Hebrew)

Revision of the Mandatory Standards SI X 1147, SI 1147 part 1, SI 1147 part 2 and SI 1147 part 3, dealing with bandages, to be replaced with SI 1147. This proposed standard adopts the British Standard BS 7505:1995, including its incorporating Corrigenda 1 and 2. This new standard differs significantly from the previous standards. The Hebrew section of this draft includes the following changes:

·        Changes in the labelling requirements included in Section 6;

·        Adds a new normative Annex B, with a Hebrew translation of Table 1, "bandages type classification according to their functions".

Both the old and the new revised standards will apply from entry into force of this revision for a transition period of one year. During this time, products may be tested according to the old or the new revised standards.
