ISO 105-C03 Assessment of Color Fastness to Washing at High Temperatures Laboratory Testing Service

Provided by Eurolab: A Comprehensive Guide

The ISO 105-C03 Assessment of Color Fastness to Washing at High Temperatures laboratory testing service is governed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard, which provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating the colorfastness of textiles under high-temperature washing conditions. This testing service is essential for ensuring the quality and safety of textile products, particularly in industries such as fashion, home textiles, and technical textiles.

International and National Standards

The ISO 105-C03 standard is part of the broader family of ISO standards related to color fastness testing (ISO 105 series). The international standards that govern this testing service include:

  • ISO 105-C03:2018 Assessment of Color Fastness to Washing at High Temperatures

  • ASTM D5487-16 Standard Test Method for Evaluating the Colorfastness of Textiles under High-Temperature Wash Conditions

  • EN ISO 105-C03:2018 Assessment of Color Fastness to Washing at High Temperatures (identical with ISO 105-C03)

    • Standard Development Organizations and Evolution

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a global federation of national standards bodies, responsible for developing and publishing international standards. The development of the ISO 105 series is overseen by Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, which includes representatives from various countries.

    Standards evolve through regular review and updates to reflect advancements in technology, changes in industry practices, or new regulatory requirements. For example, the ISO 105-C03 standard was revised in 2018 to include updated test methods and equipment specifications.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Many industries require compliance with specific standards related to color fastness testing. For instance:

  • The fashion industry must comply with ISO 105-C03 for ensuring the quality and safety of textile products.

  • Home textiles manufacturers need to meet EN ISO 105-C03 requirements to demonstrate their products resistance to high-temperature washing conditions.

    • The ISO 105-C03 Assessment of Color Fastness to Washing at High Temperatures testing service is essential for various industries due to its critical importance in ensuring product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.

    • This section provides a detailed explanation of the test procedure, equipment used, and measurement methods.

    Step-by-Step Test Procedure

    1. Sample preparation: Prepare textile samples according to ISO 105-C03 requirements.

    2. Washing: Wash samples in a high-temperature washing machine or using an equivalent method (e.g., steam jet).

    3. Measurement: Measure the color change of the washed samples using a spectrophotometer.

    Equipment Used

  • High-temperature washing machine

  • Spectrophotometer for measuring color changes

    • Measurement Methods

    The ISO 105-C03 standard specifies the measurement methods for assessing color fastness to high-temperature washing conditions. These include:

  • Color difference measurement: ΔE (CIE 2000) or ΔE (CIE94)

  • Color change measurement: K/S ratio (Kubelka-Munk theory)

    • Interpretation of Results

    Results are interpreted based on the degree of color change, expressed as a numerical value. The standard provides guidelines for evaluating the results and determining whether the textile product meets the required color fastness specifications.

    Conclusion

    The ISO 105-C03 Assessment of Color Fastness to Washing at High Temperatures laboratory testing service is an essential tool for ensuring product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance in various industries. Eurolabs expertise and commitment to quality ensure that this test is conducted accurately and efficiently, providing valuable insights into the colorfastness of textile products.
