This standard describes a method for determining the impact of light on colors in textile materials of all kinds.

This method is used to evaluate flame spread properties of vertically oriented textiles such as curtains, drapes, apparel textiles etc by measuring the burning time.

This method describes the testing of flame spread properties with a small defined flame. The test is performed on flexible materials such as textiles, coated textiles and leather. The method is primarily used for materials for pro…

Fires can be caused by, for example, bed linens that catch fire through bed smoking. The flammability of bedding products is an important feature to consider when evaluating fire risks. The test is carried out where either a glowi…

Washing affects textile materials in several ways. The method is used to determine various properties such as dimensional change, wrinkling, seam puckering, general changes in appearance (pilling, fuzziness) after industrial washi…

Textile materials that are washed often change shape and size. This change can be both increase in size or decrease in size (shrinkage). The magnitude of this change is crucial to the function of the material.
