IS0 105-BO2 : 1988 (E) Foreword IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern- mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their Bcceptance as International Standards by the IS0 Council. They are approved in accordance with IS0 procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting. International Standard IS0 105-BO2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, Tex tiles. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (included in IS0 105-8 : 1984). of which it constitutes a technical revision. IS0 105 was previously published in thirteen “parts”, each designated by a letter (e.g. “Part A’), with publication dates between 1978 and 1985. Each part contained a series of “sections”, each designated by the respective part letter and by a two-digit serial number (e.g. ”Section AOI”). These sections are now being republished as separate documents, themselves designated ”parts” but retaining their earlier alphanumeric designations. A complete list of these parts is given in IS0 105-A01. Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its latest edition, unless otherwise stated.

The method is also ap- plicable to white (bleached or optically brightened) textiles. 1.2 If there is a possibility of the sample being photochromic, then the test for ohotochromism shall be aoolied additionally . (see IS0 105-BO5j. 1.3 This method employs two sets of Blue Wool References. The results from the two sets of references may not be iden- tical. NOTE - General information on colour fastness to light is given in annex C. 2 References IS0 105, Textiles - Tests for colour fastness - Part AOI: General principles of testing.

CIE Publication No. 51, Method for assessing the quality of daylight simulators for colorimetry. 3 Principle A specimen of the textile is exposed to artificial light under prescribed conditions, along with Blue Wool References. There are two different sets of Blue Wool References which are not inter- changeable. The colour fastness is assessed by comparing the change in colour of the specimen with that of the references used. For white (bleached or optically brightened) textiles the fastness is assessed by comparing the change of whiteness of the specimen with that of the references used. 4 Reference materials and apparatus 4.1 Reference materials Two sets of Blue Wool References may be used. The two sets of references are not interchangeable. 4.1.1 References 1 to 8 Blue Wool References developed and produced in Europe are identified by the numerical designation 1 to 8. These references are blue wool cloths dyed with the dyes listed in the table. They range from 1 (very low light fastness) to 8 (very high light fast- ness) so that each higher numbered reference is approximately twice as fast as the preceding one. 1 SIST EN 20105-B02:1996

Box 12215, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709, USA. 4.1.2 References L2 to L9 Blue Wool References developed and produced in America are identified by the letter L followed by the numerical designation 2 to 9. These eight references are specially prepared by blend- ing varying proportions of wool dyed with CI Mordant Blue 1 (Colour Index, Third edition, 43830) and wool dyed with CI Solubilized Vat Blue 8 (Colour Index, Third edition, 738011, so that each higher numbered reference is approximately twice as fast as the preceding reference. The relationship shown in figures 1 and 2 between the two sets of Blue Wool References is a numerical rather than a perform- ance relationship. 4.1.3 Humidity test control The humidity test control is a red azoic dyed cotton cloth (see 9.3). I 4.2 Apparatus 4.2.1 Xenon arc lamp apparatus, either airFcooled or water- cooled. The specimens and the references are exposed in one of the two types of apparatus (see 4.2.1.1 and 4.2.1.2). The variation of the light intensity over the area covered tly the specimens and references shall not exceed f 10 % of the mean. The distance from the surface of the specimen and thar of the references to the lamp shall be the same. 4.2.1.1 Air-cooled xenon arc lamp apparatus (see annex A), consisting of the following elements: a) The light source is a xenon arc lamp of correlated colour temperature 5 500 to 6 500 K. b) Light filter, placed between the light source and the specimens and references so that the ultra-violet spectrum is steadily reduced. The transmission of the glass used shall be at least 90 % between 380 and 750 nm, falling to O % be- tween 310 and 320 nm. c) Heat filter. The spectrum of the xenon arc contains an appreciable amount of infra-red radiation which shall be minimized by heat filters (see 9.1, A.l.l and A.2.2). Light source, in a well ventilated exposure chamber. d) Exposure conditions. (The light fastness ratings men- tioned below are obtained with the Blue Wool References 1 to 8 only) : 1) Normal conditions (temperate zone) : moderate ef- fective humidity (see 9.3); light fastness of the humidity test control: 5; maximum black panel temperature: 45 OC (see 9.2). 2) Extreme conditions: For testing sensitivity of specimens to different humidity during irradiation, the following extreme conditions are useful : - low effective humidity; light fastness of the humidity test control: 6 to 7; maximum black panel temperature: 60 OC (see 9.2); - high effective humidity; light fastness of the humidity test control: 3; maximum black panel tem- perature: 40 OC (see 9.2). 4.2.1.2 Water-cooled xenon arc lamp apparatus (see annex BI, consisting of the following elements: a) Light source, in a well ventilated exposure chamber. Light sources are long-life xenon arc lamps of various sizes depending on the size of the apparatus (see B.l.l and 8.2.1). b) Light filter. Inner and outer filter glass containing and directing the flow of cooling water. An inner filter of Pyrex (borosilicate) glass and an outer filter of clear (soda-lime) glass are used sb that the irradiation at the specimen has a lower spectral cut-off at approximately that of window glass (see 8.1.2). c) Heat filter. Distilled or deionired water circulating through the lamp assembly between the inner and outer filter glass, cooled by passing through a heat-exchange unit (see B.1.4). d) Exposure conditions. Black panel temperature 63 f 1 OC (see 9.2). controlled by continuous operation of the blower with thermostatic control of the temperature of a constant volume of air, whose relative humidity is increased by adding moisture to the air as it passes through the condi- tioning chamber by means of an electrically operated atomizer; the controls of the apparatus are adjusted so that the relative humidity of the air in the test chamber is (30 f 5) %. Effective humidity: low. Light fastness of the humidity test control: 6-7. 4.2.2 Opaque cardboard, or other thin opaque material, for example thin sheet aluminium or cardboard covered with aluminium foil. 4.2.3 Black panel thermometer (see 9.2). 4.2.4 Grey scale for assessing change in colour (see clause 2). 2 SIST EN 20105-B02:1996
IS0 IE-BW : 1988 (E) 4.2.5 Colour matching lamp, complying with CIE Publica- tion No. 51, for assessment of the change in whiteness. 5 Test specimens Depending on the number of specimens to be tested and on the shape and dimensions of the specimen holders supplied with the apparatus, the size of the specimen may vary. 5.1 In apparatus of the air-cooled type, usually an area of the textile not less than 4,5 cm x 1 cm is used when several periods of exposure are made side by side on the same specimen, which is the preferred practice. The specimen may be a strip of cloth, yarns wound close together on a card or laid parallel and fastened on a card, or a mat of fibres combed and compressed to give a uniform surface and fastened on a card. Each exposed and unexposed area shall be not less than e> 10mmx8mm. 5.2 To facilitate handling, the specimen or specimens to be tested and the similar strips of the references may be mounted on one or more cards as indicated in figure 1 or figure 2. 5.3 In apparatus of the water-cooled type, specimen holders are fitted to take specimens of approximately 7 cm x 12 cm. When desired, specimens of different sizes to fit alternative sizes of specimen holder may be used. The covers shall make close contact with the surface of the unexposed areas of the specimens and the references in order to give a sharp line of demarcation between exposed and unexposed areas but shall not compress the specimen unnecessarily. L references shall be exposed on a white cardboard backing. Specimens may also be mounted on white cardboard if desired. 5.4 The specimens to be tested and the Blue Wool References shall be of equal size and shape in order to avoid errors in an assessment due to overrating the visual contrast between exposed and unexposed parts on a larger pattern as against narrower references (see 7.4). 0 5.5 When testing pile fabrics, the references shall be ar- ranged in such a way that they are the same distance from the light source as the surface of the pi14 fabrics. This can be achieved for example by using pieces of cardboard as underlay. Note that covers for the unexposed portjons shall avoid surface compression. 6 Procedure 6.1 (see 4.2.1 .I and 4.2.1.2) Adjustment of the humidity conditions 6.1.1 Check that the apparatus is in good running order and that it is equipped with a clean xenon burner tube. (Follow the manufacturer's directions and see A.1.3, B.l.l, 8.1.2, 8.1.3 and 8.1.4.) 6.1.2 Place a portion of the humidity test control of an area not less than 4,5 cm x 1 cm, together with the light fastness references, on to a card, if possible in the middle area of the sample holder (see 5.2). 6.1.3 Place the filled specimen holders on the specimen rack of the apparatus with the holders supported both top and bottom, and in proper vertical alignment. Completely fill all re- maining spaces in the specimen rack with holders containing white cardboard. 6.1.4 Operate the apparatus with the light on continuously until a test is completed unless the lamp requires cleaning, or the burner, outer filter or inner filter requires changing because they have reached the maximum number of hours of recom- mended usage. 6.1.5 Proceed to expose the partially covered strip of the humidity test control and the references simultaneously until a contrast between the exposed and unexposed portions equal to grade 4 on the grey scale is produced on the humidity test con- trol. 6.1.6 Assess the light fastness of the humidity test control at this stage and, if necessary, adjust the controls on the apparatus to give the selected exposure conditions. Check daily and when necessary re-adjust the controls to maintain the specified black panel temperature and humidity [see 4.2.1.1 d) and 4.2.1.2 djl. 6.2 Exposure methods Expose the specimen (or group of specimens) and the references simultaneously, under the desired conditions, in such a manner and for such a time as is necessary to evaluate fully the light fastness of each specimen relative to that of the references, by progressively covering both the specimens and the exposed references during the test (either by method 1 or by method 2). 6.2.1 Method 1 6.2.1.1 This method is considered most exact and should be used in cases of dispute over the numerical rating. The basic feature is the control of the exposure period by inspection of the specimen and therefore only one set of references is re- quired for each specimen under test. 6.2.1.2 Arrange the specimen to be tested and the references as shown in figure 1 with an opaque cover AB across the middle one-third of the specimen and references. Expose to the xenon arc light under the conditions enumerated in 4.2.1.1 or 4.2.1.2. Follow the effect of light by removing the cover and in- specting the specimen frequently. When a change can be perceived equal to grey scale 4-5, note the number of the references showing a similar change. (This is preliminary assessment of light fastness.) At this stage attention should be given to the possibility of photochromism (see IS0 105-805). For all specimens except for white (bleached or optically brightened) specimens, continue the procedure as described in 6.2.1.3 to 6.2.1.5. For optically brightened textiles, continue with the procedure as described in 6.2.1.6. 3 SIST EN 20105-B02:1996

When a specimen has a light fastness equal to or greater than 7 or L7, it would requine unduly long ex- posure to produce a contrast equal to grey scale grade 3; moreover, this contrast would be impossible to obtain when the light fastness is 8 or L8. Assessments in the region of 7-8 or L7-L8 are made, therefore, when the contrast produced on Reference 7 or L7 is equal to grey scale 4, the time required to produce this contrast being long enough to eliminate any error which might result from inadequate exposure.

Assessments in the region of 7-8 or L7-L8 are made, therefore, when the contrast produced on Reference 7 or L7 is equal to grey scale grade 4, the time required to pro- duce this contrast being long enough to eliminate any error which might result from inadequate exposure. 6.2.2 Method 2 6.2.2.1 This method should be used when a large number of specimens have to be tested simultanesouly. The basic feature is the control of the exposure periods by inspection of the references, which allows a number of specimens differing in light fastness to be tested against a single set of references, thus conserving supplies. 4 SIST EN 20105-B02:1996
IS0 105-BO2 : 1988 (E) 6.2.2.2 Arrange the specimens to be tested and the references as shown in figure 2 with the cover AB covering one-quarter of the total length of each specimen and reference. Expose under the conditions enumerated in 4.2.1 .I or 4.2.1.2. Follow the effect of light by lifting the cover AB periodically and inspecting the references. When a change in Reference 3 or L2 can be perceived equal to grey scale grade 4-5, inspect the specimens and rate their light fastness by comparing any change that has occurred with the changes that have occurred in References 1, 2 and 3 or L2. (This is a preliminary assess- ment of light fastness.) At this stage attention should be given to the possibility of photochromism (see IS0 105-8051. 6.2.2.3 Replace the cover AB in exactly the same position and continue to expose until a change in Reference 4 or L3 can be perceived equal to grey scale grade 4-5; at this point fix an addi- tional cover, CD, in the position shown in figure 2, overlapping the first cover, AB. 6.2.2.4 Continue to expose until a change in Reference 6 or L5 can be perceived equal to grey scale 4-5, then fix the final cover, EF, in the position shown in figure 2, the other two covers remaining in position. 0 6.2.2.5 Expose until either a) a contrast is produced on Reference 7 or L7 equal to the contrast illustrated by grey scale grade 4; or b) a contrast equal to grey scale grade 3 has been produc- ed on the most resistant specimen; or c) for white (bleached or optically brightened) textiles, a contrast equal to grey scale grade 4 has been produced on the most resistant specimen; NOTE - This may occur before the fading defined in 6.2.2.3 or 6.2.2.4 has taken place. whichever occurs first. 6.2.3 Method 3 Where the test is to be used to check conformity with a per- formance specification, it is permissible to expose the specimens with two references only: that specified as minimum and the one bglow it. Continue exposure until grey scale grade 4 and grey scale grade 3 contrasts have been produced on separate areas of the minimum reference. For white (bleached or optically brightened) textiles, continue exposure until a grey scale grade 4 contrast has been produced between separate areas of the minimum reference. 6.2.4 Method 4 Where the test is to be used to check conformity with an agreed upon reference sample, it is permissible to expose the specimens with the reference sample only. Continue exposure until grey scale grade 4 andlor grey scale grade 3 contrasts have been produced on the reference sample. For white (bleached or optically brightened) textiles, continue exposure until a grey scale grade 4 contrast has been produced on the reference sample. 7 Assessment of light fastness 7.1 The final assess
