Full title and description

ISO 105-P01:1993 — Textiles — Tests for colour fastness — Part P01: Colour fastness to dry heat (excluding pressing). This part of ISO 105 specifies methods to determine the resistance of dyes on textile materials to the action of dry heat (excluding pressing).

Abstract

Three test procedures differing by temperature are provided so that one or more may be used depending on the fibre type and the stage of textile processing; the method is intended to assess change in colour caused by dry heat used, for example, to stabilise dimensions and shape.

General information

• Status: Published (International Standard, confirmed on systematic review cycles).
• Publication date: 1993-10 (Edition 2, published September/October 1993).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 59.080.01 — Textiles in general; ISO/TC 38/SC 1 responsible.
• Edition / version: Edition 2 (1993).
• Number of pages: 3 (short method specification).

Scope

The standard gives procedures for evaluating the colour fastness of textile dyes to dry heat (excluding pressing). It applies to textiles of all kinds and in all forms and describes three tests at different temperatures; it is not intended for assessing colour changes during dyeing, printing or finishing operations.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of test specimens and applicable textile forms.
• Three defined dry-heat test temperatures / conditions (selectable according to fibre stability and end-use).
• Procedure for exposing specimens to dry heat (excluding ironing/pressing) and conditioning before/after test.
• Assessment of colour change using accepted assessment scales and/or instrumental methods as appropriate.
• Guidance on interpretation of results and selection of appropriate test(s) for specification or quality control.

Typical use and users

Used by textile manufacturers, dye houses, independent testing laboratories, product specifiers and quality managers to verify resistance of dyed textiles to dry-heat processes (e.g., heat-setting, drying tunnels, finishing operations). Laboratories performing routine colour-fastness test suites will include P01 alongside other ISO 105 parts.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 105-P01:1993 is an ISO test method that specifies procedures for assessing colour fastness of textiles to dry heat (excluding pressing).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It provides three dry-heat tests at different temperatures for determining the resistance of dyed textiles to dry heat used in processing or finishing; it excludes evaluation of changes that occur during dyeing, printing or finishing.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Textile manufacturers, dyeing and finishing plants, testing laboratories and quality assurance personnel use it to verify performance and to include in product specifications or compliance testing.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 1993 (Edition 2) text is published and has been subject to ISO systematic reviews; the ISO record shows the standard as published and confirmed through periodic reviews (confirmed in ISO review cycles, most recently noted as reviewed/confirmed in the ISO catalogue). Users should check the ISO catalogue for the absolute latest confirmation or revision status before relying on the text for regulatory or contractual purposes.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one part of the ISO 105 series (Tests for colour fastness), which contains many parts covering different agents and test conditions (washing, light, rubbing, water, perspiration, etc.).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Colour fastness, dry heat, textile testing, ISO 105, test method, dye stability, quality control.
