Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). 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
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
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/IEC 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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 11378 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 11378-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 219, Floor coverings.
ISO 11378 consists of the following parts, under the general title Textile floor coverings — Laboratory soiling tests:
� Part 1. Kappasoil test
� Part 2: Drum test
Annexes B and C form a normative part of this part of ISO 11378. Annexes A and D are for information only.

3Principle
Carpet test specimens are subjected to an accelerated soiling process. The degree of soiling is measured by
calculating the change in colour between soiled and original textile floor covering, or by use of the large grey
scales.
4 Apparatus and materials
4.1 Drum and driving systems, conforming to the specified hexapod tumbler tester of ISO 10361 or to the
modified drum test equipment described in annex B.
4.2 Wide-mouth mixing container, such as a standard mill jar, for preparation of soiled pellets.
4.3 Polyamide polymer pellets, having a volume of (13� 2) mm per pellet.
4.4 Chrome alloy steel balls (ball bearings), of total mass (1 000 � 10) g, each with a diameter of
(9,5� 0,02) mm.
4.5 Magnet, capable of attracting and holding several chrome alloy steel balls at one time.
4.6 Standard soiling compound, compatible with the equipment, selected from those listed in annex C. The
preferred soiling compound is the compound C.5.
NOTE The standard soils have a limited shelf life and should be stored in sealed containers.
4.7 Suction (vacuum) cleaner, withanairflow of (25� 5) l/s through the suction orifice of
(125� 25) mm � (15� 2,5) mm.
4.8 Specimen backing sheet, a polyethylene sheet of nominal size 950 mm � 215 mm � 2 mm.
4.9 Double-sided pressure sensitive adhesive tape, approximately 50 mm in width used to secure the textile
floor covering specimens to the backing sheet.
4.10 Straight edged ruler, of minimum length 200 mm.
4.11 Control textile floor covering.
A light-coloured carpet of known specifications is used as a reference for each test evaluation.
4.12 Assessment equipment
4.12.1 Colour measurement equipment, consisting of a colour measurement device with a (50� 0,5) mm
aperture, capable of measuring the colour of textile floor coverings and expressing the results as �E or �L (CIELAB
system) in accordance with ISO 105-J01.
4.12.2 Large grey scales, in accordance with ISO 105-A02.
4.12.3 Template, used in conjunction with the colour measurement equipment, of the same size as the test
specimen(s) with six holes of the same dimensions as the measuring head of the colour measuring equipment
(see Figure 1).

5 Atmosphere for conditioning and testing
The standard atmosphere for conditioning and testing of textiles shall be one of those specified in ISO 139.
6 Sampling and preparation of soiled pellets and test specimens
6.1 Preparation of soiled pellets
Place (3� 0,1) g of the preferred soiling compound C5 and 1 000 g of polyamide pellets in the mixing container.
Secure the lid and place the mixing container on the driving system (4.1) for 20 min. to ensure a homogeneous
mixture of the soil and the pellets.
To simulate particular use areas it may be necessary to adjust the type and/or quantity of soiling compound
NOTE If large quantities of soiled pellets are prepared (e.g. more than 2 000 g) they should kept in an airtight container to
ensure that no loss of moisture from the mixture occurs, and the supply should not be allowed to dwindle below 25 % of the
original quantity prepared.
ISO 11378-2:2001(E)
6.2 Sampling
Select test specimens of each textile floor covering being tested in accordance with ISO 1957.
NOTE Colour and design play a large part in the assessment and this should be borne in mind when selecting test
specimens and when assessing.
6.3 Number and dimensions
Cut a minimum of two test specimens per textile floor covering measuring a minimum of (125� 1) mm in the
direction of manufacture by (200� 2) mm wide. Mark an arrow in the direction of manufacture or, in the case of pile
carpets, in the direction of the pile lay on the back of the test specimen. Allow the
