BS ISO 1763:2020 PDF Download

A method for calculating the number of tufts and/or loops per unit length and per unit area of a textile floor covering is provided by the standard BS ISO 1763:2020. It is intended specifically for textile floor coverings with tuft- and/or loop-filled pile. The process to be followed in order to precisely count the number of tufts and/or loops in the floor covering is described in the standard.

This standard is important because it aids producers, suppliers, and buyers in evaluating the effectiveness and quality of textile floor coverings. Stakeholders can assess the density and homogeneity of the pile, which are crucial components in assessing the longevity and appearance of the floor covering, by counting the tufts and/or loops. The standard provides a standardized method for measuring, ensuring consistency and accuracy throughout the testing procedure.
