This is actually a really good question, very discussed lately. So far "durability" is a series of different tests: tensile strength, bursting strength, color fastness, washing, pilling, abrasion resistance, crease recovery, etc. In March 2022 EU started asking manufacturers for "more durable garments" in order to counter overproduction of textiles. Now many manufacturers ask laboratories to perform more and more tests like these (washing, pilling and color fastnesses are the most required). There is not a "durability scale", but there is a score that is conventionally used to evaluate the degradation of the garment over the washings and the "stress" that you put in it.
Is there a measurement unit for fabric durability like cm for length. So we can compare materials durability precisely?
