DIN 54001 Test of Color Fastness of Textiles - Test for Preparation and Use of Gray Scale to Evaluate Color Change

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of DIN 54001 test. Fastness in textile; It is the color durability level of a textile product against external factors that it will be exposed to during use. In any case, the products with the highest color fastness value are defined as "high fastness".

Whether the fabrics meet the color fastness standards is measured with fastness testers. International accreditation bodies have introduced two types of standards for fastness tests: blue and gray scale. The blue scale consists of a 2-digit gradation, while the gray scale consists of 8 digits.

The methods can be used not only to evaluate the color fastness of textiles, but also to evaluate the color fastness of dyes. When using such a method, the dye is applied to the textile at the specified color depths by the specified procedures and then the material is tested in the usual way.

The conditions in the tests were chosen to closely correspond to the processes generally used in manufacturing and to ordinary conditions of use. It has also been kept as simple and reproducible as possible. Since tests cannot be expected to repeat all conditions in which textiles are processed or used, fastness ratings are interpreted according to the specific needs of each user. However, they provide a common basis for testing and reporting color fastness.
