Abstract In this paper, a new relation for the set of interval-valued fuzzy relations is introduced. This relation is an interval order for the family of intervals and for the family of interval-valued fuzzy relations in a given set, it has the reflexivity property. Consequences of considering such a relation are studied in the context of operations on interval-valued fuzzy relations. A new transitivity property, namely possible T-transitivity is studied (pos-T-transitivity for short). This transitivity property is connected with the new relation proposed in this paper. Preservation of this type of transitivity by some operations is also discussed.
