Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers
to Trade (TBT), see the following URL: Foreword — Supplementary information.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 219, Floor coverings.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9405:2001), which has been technically
revised.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 2424 and the following apply:
3.1
change in surface appearance
difference between a fatigued and an unfatigued specimen
Note 1 to entry: The degree of change is expressed by reference to standard digital image reference scales and by
reference to large grey scales, grade 5 representing no change and grade 1 an extreme change.
Note 2 to entry: Changes in structure, roughness, colour, and/or pattern of a textile floor covering may contribute
to change in appearance. It is not always possible to distinguish clearly between the factors since each can have
an interaction with others.
3.2
change in structure
textural change
visible change in configuration of loops and tufts and/or fibres at the use-surface of a textile floor covering
3.3
loss of tuft definition
decrease of the pile definition caused by the bursting, opening, and untwisting of the pile yarn and/or
decrimping of the fibres in the use-surface of a textile floor covering
3.4
crushing
flattening
loss of thickness of a textile floor covering under the action of a static or dynamic load
ISO 9405:2015(E)
3.5
felting
matting
loss of pile definition of a textile floor covering due to entanglement and compression of pile fibres
3.6
hairiness
filamentation
protrusion of fibres above the normal level of the use-surface of a textile floor covering and not removable
by brushing or suction
3.7
cobwebbing
extreme form of hairiness (3.6) in which the fibres are entangled to form an interlaced web attached to
the use-surface
3.8
pilling
extreme form of hairiness (3.6) in which the fibres are entangled to form small aggregates, attached to
the use-surface, which can or cannot include fibres from other sources
3.9
sprouting
release and appearance during use of extra-long tuft legs which were accidentally trapped within the
pile of a textile floor covering during manufacture
3.10
change of pattern definition
change in the colour appearance of patterned textile floor coverings due to mechanical action
Note 1 to entry: A change of pattern definition can
