What is BS 661210:2018+A1 - Requirements and test methods for hosiery about?
Hosiery is a class of tight-fitting garments with a knit construction, worn on the legs and feet. BS 661210:2018+A1 specifies requirements and test methods for the compression and stiffness of graduated compression hosiery, anti-embolism hosiery and graduated support hosiery.
The test method in BS 661210:2018+A1 might also be suitable for assessing the compression of dual-layer compression kits (e.g. ulcer kits) and other tubular compression devices, e.g. arm sleeves.
Note: There are some garments for which this test method is not suitable, and where the former settings of the test instrument might not accommodate all potential designs, especially some made to measure garments.
