1.1 This standard prescribes methods for the determination of resistance of textile fabrics to plane abrasion ( flat abrasion ) and flex abrasion.
1.2 Except for floor covering fabrics, the methods prescribed in this standard are applicable to all textile fabrics, irrespective of their composition ( that is whether the fabric is made of cotton, wool, silk, jute or man-made fibres or a blend of two or more such fibres ) and history ( that is, the manufacturing processes involved and the finishing treatments ).
1.3 In the case of narrow fabrics, only flex abra-sion resistance shall be determined.
