- Standards: Conforms to ISO 12945 (12945-1, 12945-2, 12945-3) and ASTM D3511/D3512.
- Lighting: Uses CIE D65 artificial daylight, adhering to ISO 3668 standards to ensure a, flicker-free light source (at least 600 lux).
- Functionality: Enables easy viewing of samples still mounted on a modified Martindale specimen head.
- Operation: Provides a standardized, consistent light, allowing for accurate, repeatable grading of pilling (usually on a 1-5 scale).
How to Use the PAV
- Warm-up: Turn on the PAV light source and let it warm up for 10 minutes, ensuring the lamps reach stable operating temperatures.
- Placement: Place the tested sample on the left, and the control/standard sample on the right.
- Viewing: View the samples from a distance of 30 to 50 cm, with the sample positioned at a right angle to the eye.
- Lighting Check: Ensure the unit is using approved D65 lamps (replace every 2,000 hours or annually).
The PAV is essential for QC in textile industries to assess fabrics for pilling from methods like the Martindale and random tumble methods.

What is the ISO standard for pilling?
ISO 12945 is the primary international standard used to evaluate the propensity of fabrics to undergo surface changes, specifically pilling, fuzzing, and matting. By simulating wear and tear through controlled laboratory friction, this standard quantifies the likelihood of fibers detangling and forming pills.Dec 22, 2025
