AATCC 16.3 Standard Test for Uses and Factors to Consider for Color Fastness to Light

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of AATCC 16.3 standard. This test method provides general principles and procedures for determining the color fastness of textile materials to light. The test options described are applicable to colorants, finishes and treatments applied to all types of textiles and textile materials.

AATCC 16.3 Standard Test for Uses and Factors to Consider for Color Fastness to Light

Included test options are:

  • Xenon-Arc Lamp, Alternate Light and Dark
  • Xenon-Arc Lamp, Continuous Light, Black Standard Option
  • Xenon-Arc Lamp, Continuous Light, Black Panel Option

By exposing samples of a textile material to a Xenon arc light source under certain conditions, it is possible to evaluate the color fastness using comparison standards with a known change in light fastness after a given exposure.

Use of these testing options does not imply, expressly or otherwise, an accelerated test for a particular application. The relationship between any light fastness test and actual exposure in use should be determined and agreed upon by the contracting parties.
