ISO 3175-1 Textile - Dry Cleaning - Test for Evaluation of Performance after Cleaning and Finishing

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 3175-1 testing. ISO 3175-1 specifies a method for evaluating textile products tested according to ISO 3175-2 to ISO 3175-4.

Fabric and garment properties that may change during dry cleaning or wet cleaning and finishing operations are identified and methods for assessing change using existing International Standards are given accordingly.

ISO 3175-1 is a standard within the scope of the ISO 3175 series focusing on professional care, dry cleaning and wet cleaning of textiles. Chapter 1 of this standard entitled "Evaluation of performance after cleaning and finishing" provides guidelines and procedures for evaluating the performance of fabrics and garments after they have undergone cleaning and finishing treatments in professional textile care establishments such as dry cleaning or wet cleaning.

The standard outlines methods for evaluating various aspects of fabric and garment performance, including but not limited to:

• Color fastness: This includes testing to determine whether colors on fabric or clothing have faded or changed after cleaning and finishing.
• Dimensional stability: Evaluation of whether the fabric or garment retains its original size and shape after cleaning.
• Maintaining appearance: Evaluation of the overall appearance of the textile, including factors such as wrinkling, shrinkage and deterioration.
• Seam performance: Examining the integrity of seams to ensure they are not separated or damaged during cleaning.
• Durability: Evaluation of the overall durability of the fabric or garment to check for any weakening or damage.
• Fiber and fabric properties: Evaluation of changes in fiber properties such as strength and elongation, as well as changes in fabric properties such as tensile strength and tear resistance.
• Garment features: Inspecting components such as zippers, buttons, and other fasteners to ensure they remain functional and undamaged.

ISO 3175-1 provides a standardized approach to evaluating these performance criteria, helping textile care professionals and consumers understand how textiles will perform after cleaning and finishing. By following these guidelines, textile care facilities can ensure that their processes do not unduly damage fabrics and garments and provide their customers with a level of quality assurance.
