This International Standard specifies a method of test for evaluating the appearance of garments and other textile products (such as colour change, pilling, fuzzing, matting appearance of fabrics, smoothness appearance of flat fabric and seams, and the retention of pressed-in creases in garments and other textile products, damage of components buttons, press fasteners, slide fasteners, etc.) after one or several domestic washing and drying treatments. This International Standard is applicable to any washable textile end product of any fabric construction. Techniques for seaming and creasing are not included since the purpose is to evaluate textile end products as they are supplied from the manufacturer or as ready-to-use. Techniques for seaming and creasing are controlled by fabric properties. This method has been developed for use primarily with domestic washing machines of Type B as defined in ISO 6330, but it may be possible to use it with any type of machine defined in the same International Standard. It is recognized that prints and patterns may mask the wrinkled appearance present in textile end products. The rating process is, however, based on the visual appearance of specimens including such effects.
