In pilling test of textiles, ICI pilling box test method will be used. What do ICI and its English abbreviations mean? thank you

I have been looking for this answer recently, and I found it today. I'm so happy. Article 6.2.4 of TM D3939-13 (2017) clearly stipulates "Photo of Imperial Chemical Industry Company (ICI)". Obviously ICI is the abbreviation of "British Imperial Chemical Industry Group". You can refer to the entry "Imperial Chemical Industry Co., Ltd." in Baidu Encyclopedia. Just went to official website, and now it is renamed Akzo Nobel. Because it was acquired by Akzo Nobel Company in the Netherlands in 2007, the anti-snagging test of ASTMD3939 adopted ICI Mace snagging tester and ICI observation cabinet.
