ASTM D 5548 Document Information:
Title
Standard Guide for Evaluating Color Transfer or Color Loss of Dyed Fabrics Laundering (Not Suitable for Detergent or Washing Machine Rankings)
ASTM International
Publication Date:
May 1, 2005
Scope:
This guide covers the evaluation of the effect of dyestuff color
transfer or color loss from dyed fabrics. It is designed as a
laboratory screening test to aid in the formulation of detergent
products or the comparison of two or more detergents.
There is no single assessment that will give the overall
performance of a laundry product. A single test can only suggest
how a formulation performs under the particular conditions chosen
for the evaluation and cannot be expected to reflect comparative
product performance under the many other possible conditions of
use. A series of assessments is always necessary in order to
evaluate the many aspects of product performance. It is necessary
to conduct confirming tests under controlled but practical
home-laundering conditions to simulate consumer experience.
The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are to be
regarded separately as the standard. The values given in
parentheses are for information only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.

- colorfastness
