(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Colorfastness of Zippers to Laundering
Standard Test Method for Colorfastness of Zippers to Laundering
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of alteration in shade and of staining under conditions similar to that experienced in domestic washing of zipper stringers. This test method is applicable to the textile portion of zipper stringers that utilize tapes made of cotton, linen, or manufactured organic fibers, and to combinations thereof.
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as the standard. Within the text, the inch-pound units are shown in parentheses. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with this test method.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
