Clothes washing machines and washer-dryers for household and similar use - Method for the determination of rinsing effectiveness by measurement of the surfactant content at textile materials

This document provides a method for the evaluation of the rinsing effectiveness of household clothes washing machines, washer dryers and commercial washing machines. The amount of residual linear alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant (LAS) extracted from the unstained test swatches of the strips used in the washing performance test is determined. This is accomplished by measuring the ultraviolet (UV) light absorbance at the wavelength particular to LAS, a key ingredient of the detergent. Assuming a fixed linear relationship between LAS amount and quantity of detergent mixture and using a concentration versus absorbance curve developed as part of this procedure, the absorbance values are then converted into detergent concentrations, which together with the test solution mass data, yields detergent quantities. This assumption is done, because in the frame of this test it is not possible to determine the exact amount of LAS involved, even in the concentration curves, but only the amount of detergent used. On the textiles, this linear relationship is not given, but it is nevertheless used to express the amount of LAS as determined by UV light absorbance measurements in terms of a detergent amount.

Pralni in pralno-sušilni stroji za gospodinjsko in podobno uporabo - Metoda za ugotavljanje učinkovitosti izpiranja z merjenjem tenzidov na tekstilu

Prva izdaja te tehnične specifikacije ponuja metodo za vrednotenje učinkovitosti izpiranja gospodinjskih pralnih strojev, pralno-sušilnih strojev in komercialnih pralnih strojev. Določi se količina ostankov detergenta, izluščenega iz nepobarvanih vzorcev trakov, uporabljenih pri preskusu učinkovitosti pranja. To se doseže z merjenjem vpijanja ultravijolične svetlobe pri valovni dolžini, značilni za linearni alkilbenzen sulfonatni tenzid, ki je ključna sestavina detergenta z znano linearno odvisnostjo od količine mešanice detergenta.
Če uporabimo krivuljo koncentracije v primerjavi z vpojnostjo, ki je pripravljena kot del tega postopka, se vrednosti vpojnosti nato pretvorijo v koncentracije detergenta, kar skupaj s podatki o masi preskusne raztopine zagotavlja podatke o količinah detergenta.
Prva izdaja se zdaj pogosto uporablja v številnih različnih laboratorijih, tako pri proizvajalcih kot v neodvisnih preskuševalnih laboratorijih. Skupina SWG01-08 je prejela povratne informacije, da je preskusno breme zelo veliko, kar povečuje stroške in zmanjšuje možnost vzporednega preskušanja več strojev. V drugi izdaji je načrtovana poenostavitev postopka z namenom izboljšati rezultate te metode in znižati stroške preskušanja.
