ISO 12947-4:1998 – Textiles — Determination of the Abrasion Resistance of Fabrics by the Martindale Method — Part 4: Assessment of Appearance Change

Product Description:

ISO 12947-4:1998 provides a standardized procedure for evaluating the change in appearance of fabrics after undergoing abrasion testing using the Martindale method. This standard is vital for assessing how textiles hold up under wear and tear in real-life applications. It is widely used by textile manufacturers, quality control laboratories, and product development teams to ensure fabrics meet international durability and visual standards.

This part of the ISO 12947 series complements the other sections by focusing not only on physical degradation (such as mass loss) but also on visual changes, such as pilling, surface fuzzing, or texture distortion—critical factors for consumer satisfaction and brand quality assurance.
