ISO/TC 38/SC 1/WG 13 - Miscellaneous technical projects

This document specifies the test method for determining the resistance of the colour of textiles of all kinds to rubbing off and staining other materials using convex specimen stage (Gakushin test method). Two test methods are specified, one with a dry rubbing cloth and one with a wet rubbing cloth. This document is applicable to textiles made from all kinds of fibres in the form of yarn or fabric, including textile floor coverings and other pile fabrics, whether dyed or printed.

ISO 105-D02:2016 specifies a method for determining the resistance of the colour of textiles of all kinds and in all forms, except loose fibre, to the combined action of rubbing and of organic solvents used in spot-cleaning, localized "spotting" carried out by hand.

ISO 105-X16:2016 specifies a method for determining the resistance of the colour of textiles to rubbing off and staining other materials where the singling out of areas smaller than possible to test with the apparatus described in ISO 105‑X12 is required. Two tests may be made, one with a dry rubbing cloth and one with a wet rubbing cloth.

ISO 105-X12:2016 specifies a method for determining the resistance of the colour of textiles of all kinds, including textile floor coverings and other pile fabrics, to rubbing off and staining other materials. The method is applicable to textiles made from all kinds of fibres in the form of yarn or fabric, including textile floor coverings, whether dyed or printed. Two tests may be made, one with a dry rubbing cloth and one with a wet rubbing cloth.

ISO 105-E02:2013 specifies a method for determining the resistance of the colour of textiles of all kinds and in all forms to immersion in sea water.

ISO 105-E04:2013 specifies a method for determining the resistance of the colour of textiles of all kinds and in all forms to the action of human perspiration.

ISO 105-E01:2013 specifies a method for determining the resistance of the colour of textiles of all kinds and in all forms to immersion in water.

ISO/TR 12116:2008 describes four methods designed to simulate, by means of laboratory colour-fastness tests, the colour changes which take place in clothing during actual wear. The four methods are applicable to the following types of clothing: sports clothing (method 1); smocks and other shirt-like outer garments worn outdoors (method 2); indoor clothing and underwear (method 3); military uniforms (method 4).

ISO 105-X18:2007 specifies a method intended for assessment of the potential to phenolic yellowing of textile materials. The method is specific to phenolic yellowing and does not cover the many other possible causes of yellow discolouration found on textile materials.

ISO 105-E01:2010 specifies a method for determining the resistance of the colour of textiles of all kinds and in all forms to immersion in water.

ISO 105-E04:2008 specifies a method for determining the resistance of the colour of textiles of all kinds and in all forms to the action of human perspiration.

Specifies a method for determining the resistance of the colour of textiles, except loose fibres, to the localized "spotting" carried out by hand. A specimen of the textile is rubbed with rubbing cotton cloth impregnated with solvent. The change in colour of the specimen and the staining of the rubbing cotton cloth are assessed with the grey scales.
