Standard Test Method for Colorfastness of Zippers to Drycleaning

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Test Method D2052 is useful for testing to determine if the degree of alteration in shade is satisfactory for the intended end-use and for determining if unacceptable staining of color into adjacent fabric will occur.
Note 1—For guidance in evaluating the results of this test method, refer to Practice D3692.
This test method is considered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments because the method has been used extensively in the trade for acceptance testing.
If there are differences of practical significance between reported test results for two laboratories (or more), comparative tests should be performed to determine if their is a statistical bias between them, using competent statistical assistance. As a minimum, the test samples should be used that are as homogeneous as possible, that are drawn from the material from which the disparate test results were obtained, and that are randomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory for testing. Other materials with established test values may be used for this purpose. The test results from the two laboratories should be compared using a statistical test for unpaired data, at probability level chosen prior to the testing series. If a bias is found, either its cause must be found and corrected, or future test results must be adjusted in consideration of the known bias.
The method(s) in this standard along with those in Test Methods D2051, D2053, D2054, D2057, D2058, D2059, D2060, D2061, and D2062 are a collection of proven zipper test methods. They can be used as aids in the evaluation of zippers without the need for a thorough knowledge of zippers. The enumerated test methods do not provide for the evaluation of all zipper properties. Besides those properties measured by means of the enumerated test methods there are other properties that may be important for the satisfactory performance of a zipper. Test methods for measuring those properties have not been published either because no p...
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of change in shade and of staining of zipper stringers under drycleaning conditions. This test method is applicable to the textile portion of zipper stringers of all materials.
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 problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of whoever uses this standard to consult and establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
