The Microfibre Consortium (TMC) Test Method
Quantification of fibre loss from fabrics during simulated domestic laundering.
Work started in 2017 to develop an aligned and standard test method to quantify fibre loss from fabrics which reflect that found in domestic laundering, during the initial washing cycle.
This method has been developed through the collaborative relationship between The University of Leeds, European Outdoor Group and The Microfibre Consortium as well as the larger stakeholder network and is available publicly below for the benefit of an aligned adoption through the textile industry and beyond.
Using ISO 105-C06 at its core, The Microfibre Consortium Test Method uses standard lab equipment and provides accurate comparable data, in a manner that can be scaled commercially across a range of facilities.
