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).

Introduction
Snagging is a phenomenon in which undesirable loops of varying sizes appear on the surface of a textile
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
product, usually as a result of the fabric catching on sharp points or objects.( , , , , , , ) Fabrics
made of filament yarns, both textured and untextured, are most prone to snagging. However, certain fabrics
made of spun staple yarns, and certain fabric structures, can also be prone to snagging. It is important to
[8]
be able to measure the propensity of fabrics to snagging ISO 12945-4:2020 so that fabrics with the lowest
propensity to snagging can be selected for making garments.
[9]
A study carried out in France (called "DurHabi", related to the lifespan of textile garments, 2022-202x )
showed that the criterion based on the snagging resistance of this document is more discriminatory for
sport-wear (tee-shirts, trousers, etc.) and for ready-made garments made of knitted fabrics (dresses, skirts,
etc.) than ready-made garments made of woven fabrics.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights other than those in the patent database. ISO [and/or] IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying
any or all such patent rights.
