Scope:

This method describes a procedure for evaluating the resistance of fabrics to pilling using the rotating box method.  A pill is a bunch or ball of entangled fibres attached to the surface of a fabric by one or more fibres.  This method applies to most types of fabric (woven and knitted) but not to those made of 100% filament fibre. The preface that precedes this method should be carefully read before applying this method.
