ISO 3175-2 Textile - Dry Cleaning and Wet Cleaning - Testing Performance During Cleaning and Finishing Using Tetrachloroethene

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 3175-2 testing. ISO 3175-2 specifies dry cleaning procedures for tetrachloroethene (perchlorethylene) using commercial dry cleaning machines for fabrics and clothing. Includes procedures for normal and sensitive materials.

This standard provides detailed procedures and guidelines for testing the performance of textiles, fabrics and garments subjected to cleaning and finishing treatments containing tetrachloroethene. Tetrachloroethene, also known as perchlorethylene (PERC), is a common solvent used in dry cleaning.

The key objectives of ISO 3175-2 include:

• Evaluation of Fabric and Garment Performance: The standard outlines methods for evaluating various aspects of textile performance, such as color fastness, dimensional stability, appearance retention, and durability, particularly in the context of cleaning and finishing with tetrachloroethene.
• Quality Assurance: By following the procedures outlined in ISO 3175-2, textile care businesses can ensure that cleaning and finishing processes using tetrachloroethene meet certain quality standards and do not cause undue damage to fabrics and garments.
• Consumer Confidence: This standard helps build consumer confidence in professional textile care services using tetrachloroethene by providing a standardized approach to testing and evaluating performance.
• Environmental Considerations: Considering that tetrachloroethene is a solvent with environmental effects, the standard may also address safety and environmental considerations related to its use in textile care.

It is important to note that ISO standards are periodically reviewed and updated to reflect advances in technology, changes in industry practices, and evolving environmental and safety regulations.
