Common AATCC test standards:
AATCC-TM125 Standard:
AATCC-TM125 Standard Profile:
Light fastness to light:
This method aims to determine the effect of dyed textile samples on the color fastness under the combined effects of sweat solution and light exposure. Therefore, only perspiration solution was used in this test.
Principle: The dyed sample to be tested is immersed in the perspiration solution for a certain period of time and immediately exposed to a light fastness tester for a certain period of time.
Applicable test equipment: Q-SUN B02-S sun color fastness tester
AATCC TM 16 Standard:
AATCC TM16 Standard Profile:
"Color fastness to light":
AATCCTM 16 Standard: General principles and procedures provided by the test methods are currently used to determine the light fastness of textile materials.
The described test program applies to textiles of various materials and is suitable for dyeing, finishing, and post-processing of textile materials.
Principle: The standard sample of textile material is exposed to the same light source under the specified conditions at the same time. The exposed and non-exposed parts of the sample are compared with the AATCC color-changing gray card or colorimeter to evaluate the color fastness of the sample. The color fastness rating is compared with the AATCC standard blue wool under simultaneous exposure conditions.
Applicable test instruments: sun color fastness tester
AATCC TM 169 Standard:
AATCC TM 169 Standard:
Mainly used to measure the weather resistance of textiles: Xenon arc lamp irradiation
1.1 This standard provides an artificial climate device for the exposure of various types of textile materials, including coated fabrics, through the control of test conditions. This standard contains two control procedures: wet and dry samples.
1.2 The ability of a material to resist ageing under the specified test conditions, including its strength (breaking, tearing, bursting) and the degree of decline in color fastness.
Applicable test equipment: Q-SUN B02-S sun color fastness tester
AATCC TM 186 Standard:
AATCC TM 186 Standard Profile:
This test method provides procedures for exposure testing of various types of textile materials, including coated fabrics and products made therefrom. Tests were conducted using laboratory artificial aging exposure devices using fluorescent UV lamps as light source, using condensation humidification and/or spray humidification.
Principle: The sample is exposed to a fluorescent UV light source and periodically humidified under controlled conditions. According to the reference standard and the exposure standard, the material is evaluated under standard textile test conditions and its degradation resistance is expressed as percentage of strong loss or percentage of strong residual (broken or burst) or color change.
Applicable test equipment: Q-SUN B02-S sun color fastness tester
