Developed in 1988 by AATCC Commit-
tee RA60; reaffirmed 1989, 1995, 2002;
revised 1990, 1996, 1997, 2003, 2007
(with title change), 2010; editorially re-
vised 1994, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2012,

1. Purpose and Scope
1.1 This test method is designed to
evaluate the colorfastness to powdered
non-chlorine bleach in home laundering
of textiles which are expected to with-
stand frequent laundering. The fabric
color changes resulting from the pow-
dered non-chlorine bleach, detergent so-
lution and abrasive action of five home
launderings are evaluated.
1.2 First establish the level of perfor-
mance with powdered non-chlorine
bleach and if an effect is found, then
retest with detergent alone. It may be
necessary to use a water only wash to
separate the effects of components like
hardness, pH or chlorine content.
1.3 Since the powdered non-chlorine
bleaches currently available contain in-
gredients other than the powdered non-
chlorine bleach; such as fluorescent whit-
ening agents, bluing, etc., it is the total
effect of these chemicals on the color
change that is being evaluated.
2. Principle
2.1 Specimens are laundered under ap-
propriate conditions of temperature, de-
tergent solution, powdered non-chlorine
bleach solution and abrasive action for
five home laundering cycles. The laun-
dered specimens are evaluated for color
change.
3. Terminology
3.1 bleach, n.—in home laundering, a
product that will clean, whiten, brighten
and aid in the removal of soils and stains
from textile materials by oxidation that is
inclusive of chlorine and non-chlorine
products.
3.2 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 materials.
3.3 laundering, n.—of textile materi-
als, a process intended to remove soil
and/or stains by treatment (washing) with
an aqueous detergent solution and nor-
mally including subsequent rinsing, ex-
tracting and drying.
3.4 non-chlorine bleach, n.—a prod-
uct that does not release the hypochlorite
ion in solution; i.e., sodium perborate, so-
dium percarbonate.
3.4.1 liquid non-chlorine bleach, n.—
a product that contains hydrogen perox-
ide as its active ingredient.
3.4.2 powdered non-chlorine bleach,
n.—a product that contains either sodium
perborate or sodium percarbonate as its
active ingredient.
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 this test method. Manufac-
turers MUST be consulted for specific
details 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 The 1993 AATCC Standard Refer-
ence Detergent WOB and the 2003
AATCC Standard Reference Liquid De-
tergent WOB may cause irritation. Care
should be taken to prevent exposure to
skin and eyes.
4.3 Manufacturers safety recommen-
dations should be followed when operat-
ing laboratory testing equipment.
4.4 All chemicals should be handled
with care.
4.5 The procedure for determining the
percent active oxygen content outlined in
13.7 should be handled only in an ade-
quately ventilated laboratory hood. In
preparing, dispensing and handling the
reagents, use chemical goggles or face
shield, impervious gloves and an imper-
vious apron.
4.6 An eyewash/safety shower should
be located nearby and an organic vapor
respirator should be available for emer-
gency use.
4.7 Exposure to chemicals used in this
procedure must be controlled at or below
levels set by governmental authorities
(e.g., Occupational Safety and Health
Administration’s [OSHA] permissible ex-
posure limits [PEL] as found in 29 CFR
1910.1000; see web site: www.osha.gov
for latest version). In addition, the Ameri-
can Conference of Governmental Indus-
trial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold
Limit Values (TLVs) comprised of time
weighted averages (TLV-TWA), short
term exposure limits (TLV-STEL) and
ceiling limits (TLV-C) are recommended
as a general guide for air contaminant ex-
posure which should be met (see 13.1).
5. Uses and Limitations
5.1 Non-chlorine bleaches are avail-
able in two different forms—powdered or
liquid. This method only evaluates the
colorfastness of textiles to powdered non-
chlorine bleach in home laundering. Due
to differences in active ingredients, the
results obtained by this method may not
be representative of results obtained by
the use of liquid non-chlorine bleach on
textiles during laundering.
6. Apparatus and Materials (see 13.2)
6.1 Automatic washing machine (see
13.3).
6.2 Automatic tumble dryer (see 13.4).
6.3 Conditioning/drying racks with
pull-out screens or perforated shelves
(see 13.5).
6.4 Ballast of 92 × 92 ± 3 cm (36 × 36 ±
1 in.) hemmed pieces of bleached cotton
sheeting (Wash load ballast type 1) or 50/
50 polyester/cotton bleached of plain
weave construction (Wash load ballast
type 3).
6.5 1993 AATCC Standard Reference
Detergent WOB or 2003 AATCC Stan-
dard Reference Liquid Detergent WOB
(see 13.6).
6.6 Facilities for drip and line drying.
6.7 Balance with at least 5 kg (20 lbs)
capacity.
6.8 Powdered non-chlorine bleach (see
13.7 and 13.8).
7. Test Specimens
7.1 The weight of the test specimen
can influence the results of this test. Only
one test specimen is to be laundered in a
load. For ease in weighing fabrics, the
test specimen weight is to be 110.0 ± 10.0
g (0.25 ± 0.02 lb). For garment testing,
one garment is to be tested. If the gar-

ment weight exceeds the specified load
weight of 1.8 kg or 4 lb, the total weight
is to be included in the report. See 8.2.2
for exact weight specifications on load.
8. Procedure
8.1 Table I summarizes washing and
drying conditions. Information on the
machine and laundering conditions may
be found in the AATCC LP1 (see 13.10).
8.2 Washing.
8.2.1 Fill the washer with the specified
water volume at the selected water tem-
perature using the normal cycle setting.
Measure and record the water hardness in
any test.
8.2.2 Add 66 ± 1 g of 1993 AATCC
Standard Reference Detergent WOB or
100 ± 1 g of 2003 AATCC Standard Ref-
erence Liquid Detergent WOB. Add the
amount of the powdered non-chlorine
bleach recommended by the manufac-
turer. Add test specimen and enough bal-
last to make a 1.8 ± 0.1 kg (4.00 ± 0.25
lb) load. Set the washer on the cycle se-
lected for washing and set the wash timer
(see Table I and 8.1). Start the agitation
and independently time the wash for re-
producible results. Advance the dial to
the end of the wash cycle and rinse at a
temperature below 29°C (85°F). If this
rinse temperature is not attainable, record
the actual temperature of the rinse water
used.
8.2.3 For specimens to be dried by pro-
cedures A, B or D, allow washing to pro-
ceed automatically through the final spin
cycle. Remove test specimens immedi-
ately after the final spin cycle, separate
any tangled pieces—taking care to mini-
mize distortion—and dry by procedures
A, B or D (see Table I and 8.1).
8.2.4 For specimens to be dried by pro-
cedure C, Drip Dry, stop the washer at the
end of the final rinse cycle just before the
water begins to drain. Remove the speci-
mens soaking wet.
8.3 Drying.
8.3.1 (A) Tumble Dry. Place the
washed load (test specimens and ballast)
in the tumble dryer, set on the cycle
which generates the correct exhaust tem-
peratures as specified in AATCC LP1
(see 8.1). For fibers that are heat sensi-
tive, lower temperatures consistent with
producers recommendations are required
and must be reported. Operate the dryer
until the total load is dry. Remove the
load immediately after machine stops.
8.3.2 (B) Line Dry. Hang each speci-
men by two corners with the fabric length
in the vertical direction. Allow the test
specimens to hang in still air at room
temperature until dry.
8.3.3 (C) Drip Dry. Hang each dripping
wet specimen by two corners, with the
fabric length in the vertical direction. Al-
low specimens to hang in still air at room
temperature until dry.
8.3.4 (D) Screen Dry. Spread each
specimen on a horizontal screen or perfo-
rated surface, removing wrinkles but not
distorting or stretching, and allow to dry
in still air at room temperature.
8.4 Repeat 8.2 and 8.3 for a total of
five launderings.
8.5 After drying, condition the speci-
mens for at least 4 h by laying each
specimen separately on the screen or per-
forated shelf of a conditioning rack in an
atmosphere of 21 ± 2°C (70 ± 4°F) and 65
± 5% RH before evaluating color change.
9. Evaluation
9.1 Evaluate the change in color in the
test specimen by comparison with the
Gray Scale for Color Change (AATCC
EP1), or using AATCC EP7, Instrumen-
tal Assessment of the Change in Color of
a Test Specimen, and record the numeri-
cal rating that corresponds to the appro-
priate one on the Gray Scale.
10. Interpretation of Results
10.1 This test is a satisfactory end use
test for demonstrating the effect of the
1993 AATCC Standard Reference Deter-
gent WOB or the 2003 AATCC Standard
Reference Liquid Detergent WOB and
powdered non-chlorine bleach on textile
materials in home laundering.
10.2 If a significant color change is ob-
served, an untreated duplicate sample
could be retested using either this method
with detergent only, or the 2A Test in
AATCC TM61, Test Method for Color-
fastness to Laundering: Accelerated,
without the addition of powdered non-
chlorine bleach. This will determine
whether the color change is due to dye in-
stability or a bleach effect.
11. Report
11.1 Report the numerical average
color change grade for each specimen
tested.
11.2 Report washing procedure (Ara-
bic and Roman Numerals) and drying
procedure (capital letter from Table I;
[i.e., (1) IIIA (iii)] means NORMAL cy-
cle, wash water temperature of 41 ± 3°C
(105 ± 5°F), tumble dry (permanent
press).
11.3 Report the type and amount of de-
tergent used.
11.4 Record the brand and quantity of
the powdered non-chlorine bleach used.
11.5 Report the percent available oxygen.
11.6 Record the weight of fabric speci-
men or garment tested.
12. Precision and Bias (see 13.9)
12.1 Interlaboratory Test Data. An in-
terlaboratory study was carried out in
1986 to establish the precision of this test
method for determining the effect of
powdered non-chlorine bleach in home
laundering on the colorfastness of textile
materials.
Four materials were tested separately
for five cycles of home laundering in du-
plicate at each of the five laboratories us-
ing one brand of powdered non-chlorine
bleach. After completing the laundering,
three raters independently assessed the
color change on each specimen of each
fabric using the Gray Scale for Color
Change. The washing and drying condi-
tions were (1)IVa (see Table I for inter-
pretation of code). Each of the 24 × 24 in.
specimens that were washed separately
ranged in weight from 72-97 g (0.16-0.21
lb). The fabrics were 100% cotton and
polyester/cotton. Dyes were direct, pig-
ment and disperse. The color change
average grades for the three raters at the
five laboratories were 3.33-3.93.
12.2 Precision. The components of
variance as standard deviations of color-
fastness grades were calculated to be as
follows:
Single-operator component 0.22
Within-laboratory component 0.21
Between-laboratory component 0.00
For the components of variance re-
ported above, the average of two color
change grades should be considered sig-
nificantly different at the 95% probability
level if their difference equals or exceeds
the critical differences listed in Table II.
12.3 Bias. The true value of colorfast-
ness to non-chlorine bleach in home laun-
dering can only be defined in terms of a
test method. Within this limitation, this
method has no known bias.

Reference Detergent WOB has been changed
to a 0% phosphate compact formula named
1993 AATCC Standard Reference Detergent
WOB. Critical evaluations made using
AATCC Standard Reference Detergent WOB
and used for standard comparisons should be
repeated using the 1993 AATCC Standard
Reference Detergent WOB.
13.7 Powdered non-chlorine bleaches are
available under a large number of trade names
in supermarkets. Different brands will contain
different ingredients and the same ingredients
in differing quantities. Follow manufacturer’s
instruction for recommended usage. In con-
ducting experiments with these materials,
since they are blends of materials of different
granule sizes and densities, it is strongly rec-
ommended that sufficient product to conduct a
group of experiments in the same time frame
be thoroughly mixed in a composite before
and during use. Keep in air tight containers.
The product used to develop this method was
Clorox 2.
13.8 To determine the percent available ox-
ygen in powdered non-chlorine bleaches or
synthetic detergent products, grind the gran-
ules in a Waring blender prior to weighing.
Using an analytical balance which is accurate
to 0.002 g, weigh 3.000 ± 0.001 g of sample
into a 250-300 mL Erlenmeyer flask. Place the
sample on a magnetic stirrer protecting it from
the light with a cardboard box. Put a hole in
the box top that allows a funnel to be used to
add chemicals and support it with a ring and
stand. Use a Teflon coated stir bar. Add 100
mL of 1.5N sulfuric acid (H2SO4), 15.0 mL of
15.0% potassium iodide (150 g KI/L) and 10.0
mL of methylene chloride (CH2Cl2). Stir, in
the dark provided by the cardboard box, for at
least 15 min but do not exceed 30 min. Pro-
vide indirect light as you titrate slowly but
steadily with 0.1N sodium thiosulfate
(Na2S2O3) with constant stirring, to a pale yel-
low. Add about 2.0 mL of starch indicator
(5.0% solution) and continue the titration a
drop at a time until the disappearance of the
blue starch-iodine color.
Calculation:
Percent Available Oxygen =
(where N = Normality of Na2S2O3 solution)
Variation of ± 3% on the percent of available
oxygen is acceptable within product test.
13.9 The precision of this test method is de-
pendent on the combined variability of the
material being tested, the test method itself,
and the evaluation procedure utilized.
13.9.1 The precision statement shown in
Section 12 was developed from results ob-
tained by visual evaluations (EP1).
13.9.2 It is expected that the use of instru-
mental evaluations (EP7) will result in greater
precision than that obtained from visual evalu-
ations.
13.10 Laundering temperatures and other
parameters listed in M6 may not be the same
as those listed in various test methods. Param-
eters in M6 are updated periodically to reflect
consumer experience, taking into account cur-
rent technology and regulations regarding
home water heater temperatures, particularly
in the United States.
Typically, test method committees pursue a
deliberate effort to maintain the same test
method conditions over a long period of time
in order to produce comparable results over
time. Additionally, significant changes may
invalidate precision data developed using the
original conditions.
Temperatures listed in AATCC test meth-
ods were established at the time the methods
were developed or revised, and closely mirror
the temperature ranges specified in 16 CFR
Part 423 for care labels. It should also be
noted that AATCC test methods were devel-
oped using traditional top loading washing
machines. Specified water level, detergent,
and other details are not applicable to high ef-
ficiency top loading or front loading ma-
chines. New, commercially available home
laundering machines may have to be modified
by the user to meet the specifications in vari-
ous test methods. All test reports should indi-
cate the exact testing conditions, and any
modification of the standard method, includ-
ing use of M6 parameters. Results of tests per-
formed with different conditions may not be
comparable.
