Abstract / scope
Cancels and replaces the fourth edition (1990) and amendment 1 (1993). Provides general information about the methods for testing colour fastness of textiles for the guidance of users. Procedures common to a number of the methods are discussed briefly. The methods may also be used for assessing colour fastness of dyes. The conditions in the tests have been chosen to correspond closely to treatments usually employed in manufacture and to conditions of ordinary use.
