Pilling Assessment Viewer

Pilling Assessment Viewer (PAV) Overview

The Pilling Assessment Viewer (PAV) was developed to adhere to all three parts of BN EN ISO 12945 standard and is ideal for assessing pilling on fabrics and garments.
Pilling Assessment Viewer accepts the modified Martindale specimen head, enabling the fabric to be assessed while still mounted on the head.

The PAV uses VeriVide’s CIE D65 Artificial Daylight, as specified by the ISO 12945 standard and by major retailers. Cool White Fluorescent (CWF) is also available if required for your test.

How to replace the VeriVide CIE D65 PAV Lamp

In 2020 the ISO made changes to the EN ISO 12945 standards
specifying that the PAV unit must be:

  • Illuminated using artficial daylight D65 lamps – in accordance
    with ISO 3668 that specifies a CIE D65 light source must be
    used.
  • And have a brightness of at least 600 lux to give a uniform
    illumination over the surface of the viewing apparatus.

To meet the requirements, VeriVide developed its own true CIE rated
D65 lamp. These are available directly from VeriVide or through our
Official distributors.

It’s important for customers to check what lamps they are currently
using and update to the latest lamp requirements as soon as possible
to ensure test standards are met.
