Yes, the ICI / Mace Snag Tester complies with ASTM D3939/D3939M-2013 (2017). The purpose of this standard is to determine the resistance of fabrics to snagging, as snagging is a common problem that can have an adverse effect on the durability and appearance of textiles. The ASTM D3939 standard details the method for the assessment of the tendency of yarns in fabrics to snag when exposed to conditions that simulate everyday wear and tear.

The ICI/Mace Snag Tester from NextGen is designed to meet the requirements of this standard, providing a controlled and repeatable process for simulating real-world snagging conditions in order to meet the standards. With a rotating drum and hammer mechanism, the tester creates snags in fabric samples, which are then compared against standard reference fabrics to determine which fabric is the most suitable for this test.
