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 liaison with IsO, also take part in the work. IsO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/lEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 12947-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, Textiles. IsO 12947 consists of the following parts under the general title Textiles - Determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics by the Martindale method: 一 Part 1: Martindale abrasion testing apparatus -Part 2: Determination of specimen breakdown Part 3: Determination of mass loss 一 Part 4: Assessment of appearance change Annex A forms an integral part of this part of ISO 12947. ili
