ISO 4170:2004 is titled "Textiles — Determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics by the Martindale method".

ISO 4170:2004 outlines the Martindale method for determining the abrasion resistance of textiles. This standardized test evaluates the durability of fabric by subjecting it to a rubbing motion against an abrasive surface to simulate wear during regular use. The results help manufacturers assess and compare the performance of textiles, ensuring their suitability for applications where abrasion resistance is important, such as in furniture, clothing, and automotive fabrics.
