Full title and description

ISO 12947-3:1998/Cor 1:2002 — Textiles — Determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics by the Martindale method — Part 3: Determination of mass loss (Technical Corrigendum 1). This document is a one‑page technical corrigendum published to correct and clarify elements of the original Part 3 text (ISO 12947‑3:1998).

Abstract

This corrigendum (Corr. 1, published November 2002) applies to ISO 12947‑3:1998 and provides editorial/technical corrections and clarifications related to the procedure for determination of mass loss when using the Martindale abrasion method. The corrigendum is presented as a short, single‑page notice and does not constitute a new edition of the standard.

General information

• Edition / version: Corrigendum 1 to Edition 1 (ISO 12947‑3:1998/Cor 1:2002)
• Number of pages: 1 (corrigendum document); ISO 12947‑3:1998 main part — 8 pages.

Core bibliographic details from ISO and national catalogues confirm the corrigendum record and the original Part 3 metadata.

Scope

The corrigendum applies specifically to ISO 12947‑3:1998 (Part 3 of the ISO 12947 series) which covers the determination of mass loss of textile specimens using the Martindale abrasion method. The corrigendum corrects/clarifies elements of the published procedure and associated expressions (editorial or minor technical fixes) so that laboratories applying Part 3 can interpret and report mass‑loss results consistently with the intended method.

Key topics and requirements

• Application of the Martindale abrasion method to measure mass loss of fabric specimens.
• Specimen conditioning and preparation requirements (as specified in ISO 12947 series).
• Mass‑loss measurement: weighing before and after test cycles and calculation of percentage or absolute mass loss.
• Reporting format and expression of results (units, significant figures, and test conditions).
• Clarifications/corrections introduced by Corrigendum 1 (editorial/technical corrections to the original Part 3 text).

These topics are derived from ISO 12947‑3 and the published corrigendum which annotates the original text.

Typical use and users

Primary users are textile test laboratories, quality control and R&D teams in textile and upholstery manufacture, test‑equipment manufacturers, and standards committees that adopt or reference the Martindale method. The corrigendum is used by those implementing ISO 12947‑3 to ensure they apply corrected/clarified wording or calculations when determining and reporting mass loss.

Related standards

ISO 12947 is a multi‑part series: Part 1 — Martindale abrasion testing apparatus (ISO 12947‑1:1998, Corr.1:2002), Part 2 — Determination of specimen breakdown (ISO 12947‑2:1998; later revised as ISO 12947‑2:2016), Part 3 — Determination of mass loss (ISO 12947‑3:1998, Corr.1:2002), and Part 4 — Assessment of appearance change (ISO 12947‑4:1998, Corr.1:2002). National/adopted versions (for example EN ISO, GB/T and AS publications) and other abrasion test standards (e.g., ISO 5470 series for coated fabrics or ASTM equivalents) are commonly cross‑referenced.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 12947‑3:1998/Cor 1:2002 is a technical corrigendum (Corrigendum 1) to ISO 12947‑3:1998, which addresses the determination of mass loss of fabrics using the Martindale abrasion method. The corrigendum provides corrections/clarifications to the original Part 3 text.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers editorial and minor technical corrections that apply to the mass‑loss determination procedure in ISO 12947‑3:1998. The underlying method — abrading specimens on a Martindale tester, weighing before/after exposure and calculating mass loss — remains the basis of Part 3.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Textile testing laboratories, product and quality engineers in textile and upholstery industries, test‑equipment suppliers, and standards bodies that reference or adopt the Martindale method. These users apply the corrigendum alongside the main Part 3 text to ensure accurate interpretation of the method.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The corrigendum (ISO 12947‑3:1998/Cor 1:2002) remains the published technical correction for ISO 12947‑3:1998. The base publication ISO 12947‑3:1998 was reviewed and confirmed by ISO most recently in 2023, so the Part 3 text together with its Corrigendum 1 is the current, confirmed version. (Note: other parts of the series may have later revisions — for example ISO 12947‑2 was revised in 2016).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 12947 is a four‑part series on the Martindale abrasion method: Part 1 (apparatus), Part 2 (specimen breakdown), Part 3 (mass loss) and Part 4 (appearance change). Corrigenda were issued for several parts in 2002; users should consult the relevant Part and any corrigenda together.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Martindale; abrasion; mass loss; textile testing; ISO 12947; specimen conditioning; test procedure; corrigendum.
