![<p><strong>Knit Fabrics<br /></strong></p>
<p>Knits are either active or circular knits, with or without nap or pile. Knit is worn in all layers of the clothing systems, for example, as fleece or softshells. Knit products can be produced from all types of materials, whether natural fibres, mix qualities, or synthetic fibres.</p> Knit Fabrics](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_knitted.png)
![<p><strong>Garment Maker</strong></p>
<p>Garment makers supply the manufacturing/assembly of clothing. There are specialists for each product category and process, for example, stretch, downs, waterproofing, and knits.</p> Garment Maker](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_garment_maker.png)
![<p><strong>Woven Fabrics<br /></strong></p>
<p>Bonded and laminated materials for jackets and pants that combine the features of the second and third layers of functional clothing systems. It is claimed to be used in 80% of all activities. Softshells may be made of woven or knit fabrics, however, the seams may not be taped. Softshells usually have elastic properties.</p> Woven Fabrics](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_woven.png)
![<p><strong>Fibres · Yarns · Insulation</strong></p>
<p>Fillers for clothing that allows climate management, i.e., warming or cooling properties. “Insulation + Fibres” indicates synthetic fibres, natural fibers, and blended fibers.</p> Fibres · Yarns · Insulation](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Insulation_·_Fibres.png)
![<p><strong>Finishes · Treatments<br /></strong></p>
<p>Producer of chemical finishes and treatments which add functions such as wicking properties, UV cut, anti-bacterial/odor or anti-viral management, a soft touch, etc. to materials. The properties are added into to the yarn or washed into the fabric.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p> Finishes · Treatments](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_FINISHES_·_TREATMENTS.png)
![<p><strong>Footwear</strong></p>
<p>All kind of products and textiles used for shoes. Woven or knit fabrics with certain properties for that category.<br />Selected applications and Accessories which in-cludes laces, tapes, zippers, eyelets, rivets, rubber parts or patches specialized for shoes.</p> Footwear](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_SHOES.png)
![<p><strong>Anti-Odor</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics, which are able to prevent the growth of odor causing bacteria through the use of biocidal agents due to their fiber qualities or special treatments. Application areas are in the base and midlayer.</p> Anti-Odor](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_odor_management.png)
![<p><strong>Quick Dry</strong></p>
<p>Materials that distribute absorbed moisture over a larger area, effectively allowing them to evaporate faster. The quick drying properties can be achieved by the type of fiber, fiber cross section, fabric construction, or treatment.</p> Quick Dry](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_quick_dry.png)
![<p><strong>Thermo-Regulation</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics that regulate (cool or warm) the body temperature of the wearer, for example by fiber type, fiber cross section, etc. Can also be achieved by fabric construction or finishes/ treatments.</p> Thermo-Regulation](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Thermo-Regulation.png)
![<p><strong>Flame Retardant<br /></strong></p>
<p>Heat and flame protection: Flame retardant fabrics for clothing or accessories for use in work clothes and protective garments, for example, road and building construction, or blast furnaces, or firefighting. This feature can be found in fabrics for the base, mid, or outer layer. Based on area of application, the materials are expected to meet one or more of the following standards:</p>
<ul>
<li>EN ISO 11612 – Protective clothing – for protection against heat and flames</li>
<li>EN ISO 11611 – Protective clothing ­ for welding and related processes</li>
<li>EN 61482-1-2 – Protective clothing ­ for protection against the thermal hazards of an arc welder (Class 1 electric arcs).</li>
</ul>

![<p><strong>Heating</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics that warm the body temperature of the wearer, for example by fiber type, fiber cross section, etc. Can also be achieved by fabric construction or finishes/ treatments.</p> Heating](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Heating.png)
![<p><strong>Cooling</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics that cool the body temperature of the wearer, for example by fiber type, fiber cross section, etc. Can also be achieved by fabric construction or finishes/ treatments.</p> Cooling](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Cooling.png)
![<p><strong>Recycled</strong></p>
<p>Materials, fabrics, fibers, and yarns that are recycled. The raw materials, natural materials, and synthetic materials come from either post-consumer-waste like PET bottles, or from post-industrial-waste such as paper manufacturing, and are then reworked either chemically or mechanically.</p> Recycled](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_RECYCLED.png)
![<p><strong>Mono Component</strong></p>
<p>Materials that consist of only one material and can be recycled completely. Membranes, more-layered fabrics as well as accessories need to be mono-component in order to be circular.<span><br /></span></p> Mono Component](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Mono_Component.png)
![<p><strong>Biodegradable</strong></p>
<p><span>Materials which degrade to carbon dioxide, biomass, hydrogen/water, oxygen and methane with microorganisms over a certain period of time, depending on the surroundings. They can be from natural ressources or man-made.</span></p> Biodegradable](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Biodegradable.png)
![<p><strong>CO2 reduced<br /></strong></p>
<p><span>A code dedicated to materials that have reduced CO2 emissions during production.</span></p> CO2 Reduced](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_CO2_reduced.png)
![<p><strong>Natural Fibers</strong></p>
<p>Materials, fabrics, fibers, and yarns that consist 100% out of natural materials like wool, cotton, hemp, coconut, linen, bamboo, sisal, kapok.</p> Natural Fibers](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Natural_Fibers.png)
![<p><strong>Circular product</strong></p>
<p>The life-cycle of a product starts with its concept or design, and is followed by production, sales, use (with or without maintenance to make it more durable / longer in use)... Somewhere along the life cycle of the products, it loses its value for the user and ends up as waste (on an official disposal site or in nature). If the product remains unused, it is called a ‘lose end’ whereas the end can also be a new beginning if the loop is closed. To compost, biodegrade and recycle a material, there are different ways to keep it in use and thereby extend the life-cycle/loop. </p>
<p>In addition to the close loop principle, "Cradle-to-Cradle" is a specific term used to describe clothing in a cycle. Instead of afterwards considering the options of how the material can be recycled at the end of its use, the best composition of the material is considered in advance in order to return it to the closed loop. The materials are thus spared of any unnecessary recycling processes.</p> Circular product](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Circular_product.png)
