A surface that develops pills and a material that wears through raise related but different concerns. One test result should not silently answer both questions.
Intertek lists pilling resistance and abrasion among separate textile-performance evaluations. Intertek — Textile testing.
Name the observed concern
For a character fabric, describe the appearance or wear issue that matters to the intended use. Ask the specialist which method addresses it and which specimen is relevant.
Keep the conclusion specific
Read the actual method, result and applicable criteria. Avoid translating an abrasion result into a promise that the surface will never pill. This is an explanation of evaluation scope, not a statement that a PLUSHIP material has passed either assessment.
