Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives ).

Introduction

There is significant evidence that during laundering of textiles, release of fragments can occur. The purpose of this document is to provide a method of assessment, to be used in laboratories, of the degree to which different fabrics shed fibres and fibre fragments of all types. The results obtained by using this document should enable manufacturers of textile articles to make an informed choice about the type of fabric to use to reduce/minimize shedding as well as to test different methods of manufacture that minimize material loss during laundering.

1 Scope

This document describes a method for systematically collecting material loss from fabrics under laundering test conditions to achieve comparable and accurate results. There is no direct correlation to material loss during domestic and commercial laundering. The method is designed to assess material loss of all types.
