This European Standard describes a test method for the determination of the linear electric resistance of conductive tracks for textile structures or intended for application in/ to textiles, e.g. yarns, printed or coated tracks, ropes, ribbons and webbing.

This European Standard is designed for materials showing ohmic behaviour.

This European Standard is designed for conductive tracks where electrical contact between the measurement electrodes and the conductive track is possible.
