1. Scope

1.1 This specification establishes standard dimensions for
zippers of all materials for specified size designation; for
equivalency, in inch-pound and metric units, of zipper length
and length tolerances, tape width and width tolerances, and
of tape end lengths.

1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units
are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in
each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each
system shall be used independently of the other. Combining
values from the systems may result in non-conformance with
the standard.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
