Comprehensive Guide to ISO 6330-1 Washing Procedures for Textile Testing Services by Eurolab

ISO 6330-1 is a widely recognized international standard that governs the washing procedures for textile testing. This standard, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), outlines the requirements and guidelines for evaluating the durability and performance of textiles after repeated washing cycles.

The ISO 6330-1 standard is based on a comprehensive review of existing standards from various countries and organizations, including:

  • ASTM D1239: Standard Test Method for Rubber Property - Abrasion Resistance

  • EN 13504-2: Textiles - Tests Methods for Nonwovens - Part 2: Determination of the Resistance to Water Penetration

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) TR CS 1411: Textiles - Washing and Bleaching Instructions for Fabrics

    • The standard is divided into several sections, each addressing a specific aspect of washing procedures:

  • Section 3: Washing procedures

  • Section 4: Temperature and wash water conditions

  • Section 5: Rinsing procedures

  • Section 6: Drying procedures

  • Section 7: Evaluation of the test results

    • Legislation and Regulation

    The ISO 6330-1 standard is widely adopted by governments, regulatory bodies, and industry associations around the world. In many countries, this standard is mandated as a requirement for textile manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with specific regulations.

    For example:

  • The European Unions (EU) Cosmetics Regulation (EC No. 1223/2009) requires that all cosmetic products must comply with certain safety standards, including ISO 6330-1.

  • In the United States, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) require compliance with this standard for textile products.

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development of ISO 6330-1 is overseen by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which brings together experts from various countries to develop and maintain international standards. The ISO has several Technical Committees responsible for different aspects of textile testing, including:

  • TC 38: Textiles

  • TC 42: Fasteners

    • Evolution of Standards

    Standards are constantly evolving as new technologies, materials, and methods become available. In the case of ISO 6330-1, updates have been made to reflect changes in textile production processes, washing procedures, and testing methodologies.

    • The equipment used for ISO 6330-1 testing is designed to simulate real-world washing conditions, ensuring that products are evaluated under realistic scenarios.

    Test Procedure

    The ISO 6330-1 test procedure involves several stages:

    1. Preparation of the test samples

    2. Washing and rinsing procedures

    3. Drying procedures

    4. Evaluation of the test results

    The test results are then compared with predetermined criteria to determine compliance or non-compliance with the standard.

    Interpretation of Test Results

    The interpretation of ISO 6330-1 test results involves:

  • Evaluating the washfastness of the product

  • Determining the products performance and durability

  • Comparing the test results with predetermined criteria

    • Failure to comply with this standard can result in significant consequences, including fines, recalls, and damage to reputation.

    Test Report

    The ISO 6330-1 test report provides a comprehensive summary of the testing process, including:
