Scope

This part of ISO 12947 specifies requirements for the Martindale testing apparatus and auxiliary materials for use in the test methods specified in parts 2 to 4 of ISO 12947 for determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics. This part of ISO 12947 is applicable to apparatus for the testing of: a) woven and knitted fabrics; b) pile textiles having a pile height of up to 2 mm; c) nonwovens. This part of ISO 12947 is applicable to the determination of the inspection interval to breakdown of specimens covering all textile fabrics including nonwovens apart from fabrics where the specifier indicates the end performance as having a low abrasion wear life. NOTE Further introductory comments are given in Part 1 of this International Standard.
