Full title and description

ISO 105-F10:1989 — Textiles — Tests for colour fastness — Part F10: Specification for adjacent fabric: Multifibre. This part of ISO 105 establishes requirements for undyed multifibre adjacent fabrics used to assess staining in colour‑fastness test procedures and specifies how the staining characteristics of these multifibre adjacent fabrics are determined.

Abstract

Specifies general requirements for undyed multifibre adjacent fabrics that exhibit standardized staining properties and may be used as adjacent fabrics in colour‑fastness tests. Each component fibre in the multifibre fabric is selected to have staining characteristics comparable to the corresponding single‑fibre adjacent fabrics referenced in ISO 105‑F:1985; the staining characteristics for the multifibre fabrics are determined using the method given in Annex A.

• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 59.080.01 (Textiles — Testing).
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (1989), with Amendment ISO 105‑F10:1989/Amd 1:2009.
• Number of pages: 4 pages (base publication).

Scope

Defines the specification for undyed multifibre adjacent fabrics used in the assessment of staining (transfer of colour) during colour‑fastness tests for textiles. It covers the required staining behaviour of each component fibre in the multifibre strip, their relationship to the single‑fibre adjacent fabrics defined in ISO 105‑F:1985 (sections F01–F05, F07 and F08), and the method for determining staining characteristics (Annex A). The document is intended to standardize adjacent fabrics so that staining assessments are reproducible across laboratories.

Key topics and requirements

• Specification of undyed multifibre adjacent fabrics for use in colour‑fastness staining assessments.
• Requirement that each component fibre matches the staining behaviour of corresponding single‑fibre adjacent fabrics per ISO 105‑F:1985 (F01–F05, F07, F08).
• Procedure for determination of staining characteristics (method given in Annex A of the standard).
• Provision for an amendment (Amd 1:2009) that updates or clarifies aspects of the original specification.

Typical use and users

Used by textile test laboratories, quality control departments of textile and apparel manufacturers, dye and finishing mills, test equipment suppliers, and standards committees to ensure consistent assessment of staining in colour‑fastness testing. Laboratories use the specified multifibre adjacent fabrics as a standardized reference when performing ISO 105 series colour‑fastness tests.

Related standards

Part of the ISO 105 series (Tests for colour fastness). Directly related references include ISO 105‑F:1985 (single‑fibre adjacent fabrics: sections F01–F05, F07 and F08) and other ISO 105 parts that define test methods and evaluation criteria for various fastness properties. The 2009 amendment to ISO 105‑F10 is published as ISO 105‑F10:1989/Amd 1:2009.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the composition and staining behaviour requirements of multifibre adjacent fabrics, the relationship of their components to single‑fibre adjacent fabrics referenced in ISO 105‑F:1985, and the method for determining staining characteristics (Annex A).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Textile and apparel manufacturers, independent textile test laboratories, dyeing and finishing operations, quality assurance teams, and standards organizations involved in textile testing.

Q: Is it current or superseded?
