Specifies a method for the determination of the resistance of textile fabrics to abrasion using the Martindale abrasion machine.

This Standard sets out a method for the determination of the resistance to abrasion of textile fabrics using the Martindale abrasion machine. This method is applicable to flat woven and some knitted fabrics. It is not applicable to fabrics having a long pile or a surface coating.
