What is ISO 12945-4 about?
ISO 12945-4 is the fourth part of the multi-series standard ISO 12945. ISO 12945-4 specifies a method for the visual assessment of pilling, fuzzing, and matting respectively of textile fabrics. This method is applicable to most of the woven and knitted fabrics, including napped fabrics (fleeces, inlay fabrics).
Who is ISO 12945-4 for?
ISO 129454 on the determination of fabric propensity is useful for:
- Textile manufacturing industries
- Textile testing institutions
Why should you use ISO 12945-4?
Pills are formed when fibres on a fabric surface “tease out” and become entangled during wear. Such surface deterioration is undesirable, but the degree of consumer tolerance for a given level of pilling will depend on the garment type and fabric end-use.
Visual analysis is a method of understanding art that focuses on an artwork’s visual elements, such as colour, line, texture, and scale.
ISO 12945-4 specifies a method for the visual assessment of pilling, fuzzing, and matting respectively of textile fabrics. Clear visuals give a better understanding level to perform the test for the durability of the fibre.
