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.

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

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 12951:2015(E)
Textile floor coverings — Determination of mass loss, fibre
bind and stair nosing appearance change using the Lisson
Tretrad machine
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies four methods of test of textile floor coverings (with or without an
underlay, see Clause 9) using the Lisson Tretrad machine.
— test A: determination of mass loss of textile floor coverings, also used to assess fibre bind of synthetic
pile carpets;
— test B: determination of stair nosing appearance change of textile floor coverings;
— test C: determination of fibre bind on synthetic loop pile carpets;
— test D: determination of fibre bind (hairiness) on needled floor coverings and floor coverings
without pile.
