Full title and description

ISO 105-F05:2001 — Textiles — Tests for colour fastness — Part F05: Specification for acrylic adjacent fabric. This International Standard specifies an undyed acrylic adjacent fabric intended for use as the adjacent (staining) fabric in colour-fastness tests; the staining properties of the test material are assessed against a supplied acrylic reference adjacent fabric using an acrylic dyed reference fabric.

Abstract

This part of ISO 105 defines the required characteristics of an undyed acrylic adjacent fabric used in colour‑fastness testing to ensure reproducible assessment of staining. It describes the relationship between the test adjacent fabric, an acrylic reference adjacent fabric and an acrylic dyed reference fabric (available from specified sources). The standard is short (technical specification) and intended to provide consistent adjacent fabric material for laboratory comparison.

Scope

Specifies the composition and required characteristics of an undyed acrylic adjacent fabric to be used for the assessment of staining in colour‑fastness tests. The standard defines the role of the acrylic adjacent fabric in comparative stain assessments and references the acrylic reference adjacent fabric and the acrylic dyed reference fabric that are used as controls. It is intended to standardize the adjacent material so that staining evaluations are comparable between laboratories and test runs.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and purpose of an undyed acrylic adjacent fabric for staining assessment in colour‑fastness testing.
• Relationship and assessment procedure using an acrylic reference adjacent fabric and an acrylic dyed reference fabric (both obtained from specified sources).
• Basic material and construction characteristics required to ensure standardized staining behaviour (as specified in the normative text and in national adoptions where applicable).
• Evaluation criteria for staining performance (used in conjunction with the relevant colour‑fastness test methods and grey‑scale/colour difference evaluation procedures).

Typical use and users

Used by textile test laboratories, quality control departments in textile and apparel manufacturing, dye and chemical suppliers, and standards organizations. Typical applications include routine colour‑fastness testing (staining assessments) performed during product development, incoming inspection and final quality control to ensure reproducible and comparable stain assessment results.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 105-F05:2001 is an ISO standard that specifies the characteristics of an undyed acrylic adjacent fabric used as the adjacent (staining) fabric in colour‑fastness tests.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the specification and intended use of acrylic adjacent fabric for staining assessment, and the relationship between the test adjacent fabric, an acrylic reference adjacent fabric and an acrylic dyed reference fabric used for controlled comparisons in colour‑fastness testing.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Textile and apparel test laboratories, QC teams in manufacturers, dye and chemical suppliers, standards bodies and anyone conducting or specifying colour‑fastness staining assessments.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The ISO record shows ISO 105-F05:2001 as published in February 2001 and confirmed as the current version following ISO's periodic review (confirmation recorded in 2023), so the 2001 edition remains the current ISO text. National adoptions and later related documents may exist, but this ISO part has not been withdrawn.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one part of the ISO 105 series (Textiles — Tests for colour fastness). The ISO 105 series contains many parts that specify adjacent fabrics for different fibre types and the test methods for various colour‑fastness conditions.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Acrylic adjacent fabric, colour fastness, staining assessment, adjacent fabric specification, ISO 105, textile testing, reference adjacent fabric.
