AATCC TM107 Colorfastness to Fade by UV-Accelerated WeatheringComprehensive Guide to AATCC TM107 Colorfastness to Fade by UV-Accelerated Weathering Laboratory Testing Service
The AATCC TM107 Colorfastness to Fade by UV-Accelerated Weathering laboratory testing service is governed by various international and national standards. The primary standard for this test is the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) Technical Manual, which outlines the procedures for evaluating the colorfastness of textiles to fading caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
ISO 105-B02:2013
This International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard specifies the method for determining the colorfastness to light of textiles. The test is designed to simulate the effects of sunlight on textiles and evaluate their resistance to fading.
ASTM D5059-13
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard, ASTM D5059-13, provides a similar methodology for evaluating the colorfastness of textiles to light exposure. This standard is used in conjunction with AATCC TM107 to ensure consistent results.
EN ISO 105-B02:2013
This European Standard, EN ISO 105-B02:2013, is based on the ISO standard and provides a harmonized method for determining the colorfastness of textiles to light exposure. This standard is widely adopted in Europe and other regions.
TSE ISO 105-B02:2017
The Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) has adopted the ISO standard as its national standard, TSE ISO 105-B02:2017. This standard provides a basis for evaluating the colorfastness of textiles to light exposure in Turkey.
Standard Development Organizations
The AATCC, ISO, ASTM, and TSE are all involved in the development and maintenance of standards related to textile testing. These organizations work together to ensure consistency and compatibility between international and national standards.
