ISO 105-B02 Textiles — Color Fastness Tests — Part B02: Color Fastness to Artificial Light: Xenon Arc Damping Lamp Test

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 105-B02 testing. This part of ISO 105 specifies a method intended for determining the effect on the color of textiles of all shapes and forms to the movement of an artificial light source representing natural daylight.

The method can also be applied to white (bleached or optically brightened) textiles. This method allows the use of two different blue wool reference sets. Results from two different reference sets may not be the same.

The textile sample to be tested is exposed to artificial light under controlled conditions with a set of reference materials. Color fastness is evaluated by comparing the change in color of the test sample with that of the reference materials used.

When testing specimens of considerable thickness, the references should be arranged so that the top surface of the test specimens is at the same distance from the light source. Covers for non-exposed portions will prevent surface compaction.

Textiles of significant thickness, with fibers that can change position or texture which may complicate the assessment of small areas, should be tested with an open area of ​​not less than 50 mm x 40 mm, preferably larger.
