General Information
Relations
Overview - EN ISO 6330:2021 (Textiles - Domestic washing and drying procedures for textile testing)
EN ISO 6330:2021 defines standardized domestic washing and drying procedures used for textile testing. Published by CEN (identical to ISO 6330:2021), the standard specifies how to reproduce typical household laundering actions in the lab so that results (shrinkage, appearance change, colour fastness, dimensional stability, etc.) are comparable and repeatable across laboratories and test reports.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Procedures for textile fabrics, garments and other textile articles subjected to combinations of domestic washing and drying procedures. The standard also specifies reference detergents and ballasts.
- Reference washing machine types:
- Type A: Horizontal axis, front-loading (16 washing procedures)
- Type B: Vertical axis, top-loading agitator (12 procedures)
- Type C: Vertical axis, top-loading pulsator (7 procedures)
- Drying procedures: Six defined methods - line dry, line drip dry, flat dry, flat drip dry, flat press and tumble dry.
- Ballasts and load control: Defined ballast types (Type I - 100% cotton, Type II - 50/50 cotton/polyester, Type III - 100% polyester, plus other ballast options), with rules for total wash load, specimen numbers and load-to-ballast ratios.
- Reference detergents and water: Specifies seven reference detergents and water quality parameters (hardness, inlet temperature, pressure).
- Apparatus and endpoints: Specifications for tumble dryer types (vented, condenser, large vented), electrically heated flat-bed press, and methods to determine endpoint moisture (time settings or automatic sensing).
- Reporting and annexes: Test report requirements and normative annexes detailing machine specifications, procedures, detergent compositions and ballast specifications.
Practical applications and users
- Manufacturers and product developers use EN ISO 6330 to validate garment and fabric performance under home-laundering conditions.
- Test laboratories and quality control teams adopt the standard to produce reproducible, accredited test data for shrinkage, color change, dimensional stability and appearance after washing/drying.
- Regulatory and compliance bodies, retail brands and textile R&D departments rely on the standard for material specifications, care labeling guidance and comparative benchmarking.
- Useful for material selection, design validation and claims substantiation (e.g., “machine washable”).
Related standards and notes
- EN ISO 6330 is often used alongside other textile standards (e.g., ISO methods for colour fastness, ISO tests for dimensional change).
- Note: Different parameters (machine type, detergent, dryer type) can affect test outcomes - maintain consistency with the chosen EN ISO 6330 procedure to ensure comparable results.
Keywords: EN ISO 6330, domestic washing and drying procedures, textile testing, reference detergents, washing machine types, tumble dry, ballast, textile standards.
