ISO 3175-3 Textile - Dry Cleaning and Wet Cleaning - Performance Testing During Cleaning and Finishing Processes Using Hydrocarbon Solvents

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ISO 3175-3 testing. ISO 3175-3 specifies dry cleaning procedures for hydrocarbon solvents using commercial dry cleaning machines for fabrics and garments. 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 processes involving hydrocarbon solvents. Hydrocarbon solvents are widely used in dry cleaning as an alternative to traditional chlorinated solvents such as perchlorethylene (PERC).

The key objectives of ISO 3175-3 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 hydrocarbon solvents.
• Quality Assurance: By following the procedures outlined in ISO 3175-3, textile care facilities can ensure that cleaning and finishing processes using hydrocarbon solvents meet specific 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 hydrocarbon solvents by providing a standardized approach to testing and evaluating performance.
• Safety and Environmental Considerations: Although hydrocarbon solvents are generally considered less harmful to the environment than some other dry cleaning solvents, the standard may also address safety and environmental issues related to their use in textile care.
