Why should you use ISO 1083 - Textile floor coverings?
The quality of the clothing products in the textile industry mainly depends on the quality of the fabrics used for the clothing, may it be apparel, bedding, or any other piece of cloth. Thus, it is essential that fabric undergoes various test methods to prove and improve its reliability, efficiency, and class.
ISO 1083 is an informative standard that gives you a non-destructive method of measuring the pile thickness above the backing for the textile floor coverings. It explains the preparation of floor covering specimens and is useful particularly for production control in the manufacture and for measurements on installed carpets.
In ISO 1083, a specimen is observed after a process of fatiguing and is assessed by visual comparison with standard digital image scales. The degree of change is expressed by a single grade. The dominant factors (change in surface appearance, colour, and/or pattern) of the change are observed and recorded.
Thus, ISO 1083 helps its users to maintain the high class of the textile floor covering by testing it without any damage to the product. It mitigates all the defects and enhances the calibre of the textile floor coverings
