1. Purpose and Scope
1.1 These accelerated laundering tests
are to evaluate the colorfastness to laun-
dering of textiles which are expected to
withstand frequent laundering. The fabric
color loss and surface changes resulting
from detergent solution and abrasive ac-
tion of five typical hand or home launder-
ings, with or without chlorine, are
roughly approximated by one 45 min test
(see 9.2-9.6). However, the staining ef-
fect produced by five typical hand or
home launderings cannot always be pre-
dicted by the 45 min test. Staining is a
function of the ratio of colored to undyed
fabrics, fiber content of fabrics in the
wash load and other end-use conditions
which are not always predictable.
1.2 When this test method was origi-
nally developed, various options of this
method were intended to evaluate the
color change and staining by five home
or commercial launderings, on an accel-
erated basis. Throughout the years, com-
mercial laundering procedures have
changed and commercial cleaning today
involves many different types of pro-
cesses, dependent on the type of product
being cleaned that cannot be duplicated
by one accelerated laboratory procedure.
In 2005, all references to commercial
laundering were removed as it is not
known if these procedures accurately rep-
licate typical commercial laundering pro-
cesses used today.
2. Principle
2.1 Specimens are tested under appro-
priate conditions of temperature, deter-
gent solution, bleaching and abrasive ac-
tion such that the color change is similar
to that occurring in five hand or home
launderings. The color change is obtained
in a conveniently short time. The abra-
sive action is a result of the frictional ef-
fects of fabric against canister, the low li-
quor ratio and the impact of the steel balls
on the fabric.
3. Terminology
3.1 colorfastness, n.—the resistance of
a material to change in any of its color
characteristics, to transfer of its color-
ant(s) to adjacent materials or both, as a
result of the exposure of the material to
any environment that might be encoun-
tered during the processing, testing, stor-
age or use of the material.
3.2 laundering, n.—of textile mate-
rials, a process intended to remove soils
and/or stains by treatment (washing) with
an aqueous detergent solution and nor-
mally including subsequent rinsing, ex-
tracting and drying.
4. Safety Precautions
NOTE: These safety precautions are
for information purposes only. The pre-
cautions are ancillary to the testing proce-
dures and are not intended to be all inclu-
sive. It is the users responsibility to use
safe and proper techniques in handling
materials in the test method. Manufactur-
ers MUST be consulted for specific de-
tails such as material safety data sheets
and other manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions. All OSHA standards and rules
must also be consulted and followed.
4.1 Good laboratory practices should
be followed. Wear safety glasses in all
laboratory areas.
4.2 All chemicals should be handled
with care.
4.3 The AATCC 1993 Standard Refer-
ence Detergents (with and without optical
brighteners) may cause irritation. Care
should be taken to prevent exposure to
skin and eyes.
4.4 An eyewash/safety shower should
be located nearby for emergency use.
4.5 Manufacturers safety recommen-
dations should be followed when operat-
ing laboratory testing equipment.

5A (see 12.10 and 12.11).
6.4 Specimen preparation.
6.4.1 Preparation with multifiber test
fabric with individual component bands
8 mm (0.33 in.) wide or with bleached
cotton test fabric. Prepare pieces with a
50 mm (2.0 in.) square of multifiber test
fabric cloth or bleached cotton test fabric
(as required) sewn, stapled or suitably
attached along one 50 mm (2.0 in.) edge
of the test specimen and in contact with
the face of the material. When multifiber
test fabric is used, attach it so that each of
the six fiber bands is along the 50 mm
(2.0 in.) edge of the specimen with the
wool on the right. The fiber bands in the
multifiber test fabric will be parallel to the
lengthwise direction of the test specimen.
6.4.2 Preparation with multifiber test
fabric with individual component bands
15 mm (0.6 in.) wide. Prepare pieces with
a 50 × 100 mm (2.0 × 4.0 in.) rectangle of
multifiber test fabric sewn, stapled or
suitably attached centered along one 100
mm (4.0 in.) or 150 mm (6.0 in.) edge of
the test specimen and in contact with the
face of the material. Attach it so that each
of the six fiber bands will be parallel to
the widthwise direction of the specimen.
Attach and secure the wool band at the
top of the specimen to avoid fiber loss.
6.4.3 It is recommended that knitted
fabrics be sewn or stapled at the four
edges to equivalent size pieces of
bleached cotton test fabric to avoid rolled
edges and to assist in obtaining a uniform
test result over the entire surface. Attach
the multifiber test fabric to the face of the
knitted fabric.
6.4.4 For pile fabric specimens with a
pile lay direction, attach the multifiber
test fabric at the top of the specimen with
the pile lay direction pointing away from
the top of the specimen.
6.5 When the textile to be tested is
yarn, specimens may be tested using Op-
tion 1 or Option 2.
6.5.1 Option 1. Knit yarn on an appro-
priate sample knitting machine. Prepare
specimens and multifiber test fabrics ac-
cording to 6.1-6.4.3. Keep one knitted
specimen of each sample as an unwashed
original.
6.5.2 Option 2. Prepare two 110 m
(120 yd) skeins of each yarn. Fold the
skein so that there is a uniform amount of
yarn across a 50 mm (2 in.) width with a
length appropriate for the procedure to be
used. Keep one skein of each sample as
an unwashed original. Sew or staple
Crockmeter test cloth squares (see 12.9)
or squares of bleached cotton test fabric
having approximately the same weight
folded over each end of the layered yarn
specimen. Attach a multifiber test fabric
according to 6.4.1 or 6.4.2.
7. Procedure
7.1 Table I summarizes the conditions
of the tests.
7.2 Adjust the laundering machine to
maintain the designated bath tempera-
ture. Prepare the required volume of
wash liquor. Preheat this solution to the
prescribed temperature.
7.3 Run Test No. 1A in 75 × 125 mm
(3.0 × 5.0 in.) lever lock stainless steel
canisters. Run Tests No. 2A, 3A, 4A and
5A in 90 × 200 mm (3.5 × 8.0 in.) lever
lock stainless steel canisters.
7.3.1 For Tests No. 1A, 1B, 2A and
3A, add to the canister the amount of de-
tergent solution designated in Table I.
7.3.2 For Test No. 4A, prepare a 1500
ppm available chlorine solution. For 1 L,
determine the amount of stock sodium
hypochlorite bleach solution (see 12.8) to
dilute as follows:
159.4/% NaOCl = g to add
Weigh the correct amount of bleach into a
volumetric flask and dilute to 1 L. To
each canister, add 5 mL of 1500 ppm
available chlorine solution and 45 mL of
detergent solution making a total volume
of 50 mL.
7.3.3 For Test No. 5A, determine the
amount of stock sodium hypochlorite
bleach solution (see 12.8) to dilute as
follows:
4.54/% NaOCl = g to add
Weigh the correct amount of bleach into a
graduated cylinder and add detergent so-
lution to make a total volume of 150 mL.
Prepare this solution separately for each
canister.
7.3.4 For all the tests, add the desig-
nated number of stainless steel balls or
white rubber balls to each canister.
7.4 The two options for preheating the
canisters to the test temperature are by
use of the laundering machine or the pre-
heater/storage unit. If the canisters are to
be preheated in the laundering machine,
proceed to 7.4.2.
7.4.1 Place the canisters in the pre-
heater module at the prescribed test tem-
perature. They are to remain in the
module for at least 2 min. Enter a well
crumpled test specimen into each canister.
7.4.2 Clamp the covers on the canis-
ters. A Teflon fluorocarbon gasket (see
5.1.6) may be inserted between the neo-
prene gasket and the top of each canister
to prevent contamination of the wash so-
lution by the neoprene. Fasten the 75 ×
125 mm (3.0 × 5.0 in.) lever lock canis-
ters vertically and the 90 × 200 mm (3.5
× 8.0 in.) lever lock canisters horizontally
in the adapters on the rotor of the laun-
dering machine in such a manner that
when the canisters rotate, the covers
strike the water first. Place an equal num-
ber of canisters on each side of the shaft.
For canisters preheated in the module,
proceed to 7.7.
7.5 Start the rotor and run it for at least
2 min to preheat the canisters.
7.6 Stop the rotor and with a row of
canisters in an upright position, unclamp
the cover of one canister, enter a well
crumpled test specimen into the solution
and replace the cover, but do not clamp it.
Repeat this operation until all the canis-
ters in the row have been loaded. Then
clamp the covers in the same order in
which the canisters were loaded (delay
clamping the covers to allow equalization
of pressure). Repeat this operation until
all rows of canisters have been loaded.
7.7 Start the laundering machine and
run it at 40 ± 2 rpm for 45 min.
7.8 The rinsing, extracting and drying
procedures are the same for all the tests.
Stop the machine, remove the canisters
and empty the contents into beakers,
keeping each test specimen in a separate
beaker. Rinse each test specimen three
times, in beakers, in distilled or deionized
water at 40 ± 3°C (105 ± 5°F) for 1 min
periods with occasional stirring or hand
squeezing. To remove excess water, cen-
trifuge, blot or pass the test specimens
through wringer rolls. Dry the specimens
in an air circulating oven in which the
temperature does not exceed 71°C
(160°F), or tumble dry in a nylon mesh
bag in an automatic tumble dryer at nor-

mal cycle, which has an exhaust tempera-
ture of 60-71°C (140-160°F), or air dry.
7.9 Allow specimens to condition at 65
± 5% relative humidity and 21 ± 2°C (70
± 4°F) for 1 h before evaluating.
7.10 Prepare tested fabric specimens
and adjacent fabrics for evaluation by
trimming off raveled yarns and lightly
brushing off any loose fiber and yarn on
the fabric surfaces. Brush pile fabric
specimens in required direction to restore
them as nearly as possible to the same
pile angle as the untreated specimens.
Specimens should be smoothed or flat-
tened if they are wrinkled and messy due
to washing and/or drying. Specimens
may be mounted on cards to facilitate
identification and handling in their evalu-
ation. For consistency in backing mate-
rial, use a white mounting card with Y
tristimulus value of at least 85%. Mount-
ing material must not be visible in the
area to be viewed and must not interfere
with rating as specified in 5.1 of both
AATCC EP1 and AATCC EP2 for the
Gray Scale for Color Change and Gray
Scale for Staining or instrumental assess-
ment of color according to AATCC EP7,
Instrumental Assessment of the Change
in Color of a Test Specimen (see 12.4).
7.10.1 Yarn skein specimens should be
combed and brushed for improved align-
ment of the yarns before comparison with
the unwashed original. The original spec-
imens may also need further combing and
brushing for uniformity of appearance.
8. Evaluation (see 12.16)
8.1 Evaluation of color change.
8.1.1 Evaluate the color change of the
test specimens by comparison with the
Gray Scale for Color Change (AATCC
EP1), or using AATCC EP7, Instrumental
Assessment of the Change in Color of a
Test Specimen, and record the numerical
rating that corresponds to the appropriate
one on the Gray Scale. For improved pre-
cision and accuracy the specimens should
be rated by more than one rater.
8.2 Evaluation of staining.
8.2.1 Evaluate staining (see 12.10) by
comparison with the Gray Scale for
Staining (AATCC EP2), the AATCC 9-
Step Chromatic Transference Scale
(AATCC EP8), or Instrumental Assess-
ment of Degree of Staining (AATCC
EP12), and record the numerical rating
that corresponds to the appropriate one
on either of them. The scale used should be
indicated when reporting the test results.
8.2.2 The color transferred to the multi-
fiber test fabric or bleached cotton test
fabric square of 6.4.1 can be quantita-
tively determined by measuring the color
difference between a piece of the original
material and the stained material. Multifi-
ber test fabrics (15 mm [0.6 in.]) have fill-
ing bands of sufficient width to be within
the aperture diameter capability of many
colorimeters and spectrophotometers (see
AATCC EP6, Instrumental Color Mea-
surement and 12.14).
9. Interpretation of Results
9.1 Results from these tests are in-
tended to approximate the color change
effects (see 1.1) of five typical home
launderings. These are accelerated tests,
and in obtaining the required degree of
acceleration some of the conditions, such
as temperature, were purposely exagger-
ated. The tests have remained largely the
same over many years while laundry de-
tergents, washers and dryers, laundry
practices and fabrics have changed (see
AATCC LP1.
9.2 Test No. 1A—This test is for evalu-
ating the colorfastness of textiles that are
expected to withstand repeated hand
laundering at low temperature. Speci-
mens subjected to this test should show
color change similar to that produced by
five typical careful hand launderings at a
temperature of 40 ± 3°C (105 ± 5°F).
9.3 Test No. 1B—This test is for evalu-
ating the colorfastness of textiles that are
expected to withstand repeated hand
laundering at cool temperatures. Speci-
mens subjected to this test should show
color change similar to that produced by
five typical careful hand launderings at a
temperature of 27 ± 3°C (80 ± 5°F).
9.4 Test No. 2A—This test is for eval-
uating the colorfastness to washing of
textiles that are expected to withstand re-
peated low temperature machine launder-
ing in the home. Specimens subjected to
this test should show color change similar
to that produced by five home machine
launderings at medium or warm setting in
the temperature range of 38 ± 3°C (100 ±
5°F).
9.5 Test No. 3A—This test is for evalu-
ating colorfastness to washing of textiles
considered washable under vigorous con-
ditions. Specimens subjected to this test
should show color change similar to that
produced by five home machine launder-
ings at 60 ± 3°C (140 ± 5°F), without
chlorine.
9.6 Test No. 4A—This test is for evalu-
ating the colorfastness to washing of tex-
tiles laundered in the presence of avail-
able chlorine. Specimens subjected to
this test should show color change similar
to that produced by five home machine
launderings at 63 ± 3°C (145 ± 5°F) with
3.74 g per L (0.50 oz/gal) of 5% available
chlorine per 3.6 kg (8.0 lb) load.
9.7 Test No. 5A—This test is for eval-
uating the colorfastness to washing of
textiles that may be laundered in the pres-
ence of available chlorine. Specimens
subjected to this test should show color
change similar to that produced by five
home machine launderings at 49 ± 3°C
(120 ± 5°F) with 200 ± 1 ppm available
chlorine.
10. Report
10.1 Report the test number.
10.2 Report the grade number deter-
mined for color change in 8.1 and the
staining grade numbers for the evaluated
fibers in the multifiber test fabric and/or
bleached cotton test fabric as determined
in 8.2.
10.3 State which scale (Gray Scale for
Staining or AATCC 9-Step Chromatic
Transference Scale) was used in evaluat-
ing staining (see 12.12).
10.4 Report the multifiber test fabric
used and if bleached cotton test fabric
was employed to avoid knit curling.
10.5 Report the detergent used with color
change and staining results (see 12.6).
10.6 Report which laundering ma-
chine is used.
11. Precision and Bias (see 12.15)
11.1 Precision and bias statements
have been developed for Tests No. 2A
and 5A. Although correlation work has
been done, no precision and bias state-
ments have been developed for Tests No.
1A, 3A and 4A.
11.1.1 Because of changes in the deter-
gents used in this method, these precision
and bias statements may not apply to data
or information obtained with the cur-
rently available detergents.
11.2 Test No. 2A.
11.2.1 Summary. An interlaboratory
test was carried out in May 1985 to estab-
lish the precision of Test No. 2A. A part
of the test was to determine if the wider
15 mm (0.6 in.) No. 10A multifiber test
fabric could be substituted for the 8 mm
(0.33 in.) wide No. 10. The complete test
consisted of six laboratories evaluating
10 materials in duplicate by one operator
using Test No. 2A.
11.2.2 Color Change. Three raters
from six laboratories independently eval-
uated nine materials in duplicate using
the Gray Scale for Color Change. The
components of variance as standard devi-
ations of the colorfastness grades (aver-
ages of variances for No. 10 and No. 10A
multifiber test fabrics) were calculated as
follows:
Single-Operator
Component 0.29
Within-Laboratory
Component 0.29
Between-Laboratory
Component 0.29
11.2.3 Critical Differences. For the
components of variance reported in
11.2.2, two averages of observed values
should be considered significantly differ-
ent at the 95% probability level if the dif-
