PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee TX/15 on Textiles for
Health care Facilities and Institutions, in response to requests from the health and laundry
sectors. The Standard specifies requirements for a number of general apparel items that
are used in health care facilities and institutions. Standardization of apparel will produce
more efficient training of hospital and laundry staff, lower linen costs and ensure the
quality of the linen.
The fabrics suggested for the manufacture of the general apparel items are extracted from
those materials specified in AS 3789.6, Textiles for health care facilities and institutions ,
Part 6: Fabric specifications.
Permission from the Queensland Department of Health to use their diagrams and data
