BS 3084: Slide fasteners (zips) — specification
BS 3084 is the British Standard specification for slide fasteners (zips), covering performance requirements and the associated test methods. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What BS 3084 Covers
It is referenced when a product spec calls up zip durability and strength checks such as slider function, stop strength, and cycling resistance.
How the Test Is Run
Zip specimens are subjected to strength and cycling tests, including pulls on the elements and stops, and the measured performance is checked against the specification.
Why It Matters
Zip strength and durability verification supports garment and product quality; grips and fixtures suited to small zip components are essential.
