ISO 10361:2015 PDF Download

ISO 10361:2015 is a standard that describes how to use the Vettermann drum and hexapod tumbler testers to alter the look of textile floor coverings. These tests are designed to evaluate the effect of mechanical action on the surface structure and color of floor coverings. It should be noted that this guideline does not address pilling or color changes caused by external sources.

The drum testers stated in the standard are intended to represent the wear and tear that textile floor coverings may endure over the course of their lives. It is possible to evaluate the durability and look of floor coverings by submitting them to mechanical activity in these testers.

ISO 10361:2015 recommends that the variations in appearance caused by drum testers be evaluated in accordance with the applicable assessment standard. This means that precise standards and procedures are in place to evaluate the performance and quality of textile floor coverings based on the appearance changes induced by the drum testers.
