Directive 2014/32/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of measuring instruments (recast) Text with EEA relevance · European Union

Textiles are characterised by the characteristic factor K. This factor takes the stretchability and force per unit area of the product measured into account and is defined by the following formula: K = ε(G_(A) 2,2 Nm2), where ε is the relative elongation of a cloth specimen 1 m wide at a tensile force of 10 N, G_(A) is the weight force per unit area of a cloth specimen in N/m^(2).
