All the products were subjected to different tests: whether the type of fibers declared on the label matched the one in the filling, the ability they had to recover their shape once force was applied to them, its resistance to discoloration and abrasionthat is, to the wear and tear produced by use.
“This test determined the degree of wear of the fabric of the cover caused by the rubbing of the head with it and this process was evaluated simulated in an accelerated way by means of the flat abrasion method” which consists of “placing specimens of the garment (cuts of the part that corresponds to the sheath) in a rotating platform device with a double abrasion wheel”, the publication specified.
