1 Scope
This document specifies a method intended for determining the effect on the colour
of textiles of all kinds, except loose fibres, to the action of weather as determined
by exposure to simulated weathering conditions in a test chamber equipped with a xenon
arc lamp. This document focuses on textiles (such as apparel) where the main evaluation
criterium is the colour fastness.
This method can be used to determine if a textile is sensitive to the combined effect
of light and water.
NOTE 1 General information on colour fastness to light is given in Annex A.
NOTE 2
ISO 105‑B10
provides guidance on testing textiles or technical textiles, which are permanently
exposed to an outdoor environment and/or require mechanical testing (such as tensile
strength determination).
