Full title and description

ISO 105-F01:2001 — Textiles — Tests for colour fastness — Part F01: Specification for wool adjacent fabric. This International Standard specifies an undyed wool adjacent fabric intended for use as the adjacent (contact) fabric when assessing staining in colour‑fastness tests; the specified wool adjacent fabric is assessed against a wool reference adjacent fabric using two wool dyed reference fabrics and one cotton dyed reference fabric supplied from a specified source.

Abstract

This part of ISO 105 defines the characteristics and specification of an undyed wool adjacent fabric to be used in colour‑fastness testing for assessment of staining. It describes the intended comparison to a wool reference adjacent fabric and the use of defined dyed reference fabrics to evaluate staining behaviour.

Scope

ISO 105‑F01:2001 specifies an undyed wool adjacent fabric for use when assessing staining in colour‑fastness tests within the ISO 105 series. The standard defines the role of the wool adjacent fabric as the substrate placed adjacent to the dyed test specimen during specific colour‑fastness procedures, and it provides the basis for comparing staining against a designated wool reference adjacent fabric using established dyed reference fabrics.

Key topics and requirements

• Specification of physical and visual characteristics for an undyed wool adjacent fabric used in colour‑fastness staining assessments.
• Requirement to assess the staining properties of the wool adjacent fabric under test against a wool reference adjacent fabric.
• Use of two wool dyed reference fabrics and one cotton dyed reference fabric (from a specified supplier) to evaluate staining behaviour.
• Intended application within the ISO 105 family of colour‑fastness test methods (to provide standardized adjacent fabrics for reproducible staining assessments).

Typical use and users

Test laboratories, textile manufacturers, quality‑control departments, independent testing bodies and research organizations performing ISO 105 series colour‑fastness tests use ISO 105‑F01:2001 to obtain or verify an appropriate wool adjacent fabric for staining assessments. The standard supports consistent inter‑laboratory comparisons and quality control of adjacent fabrics used during colour‑fastness evaluations.

Related standards

ISO 105‑F01:2001 is part of the ISO 105 series (Tests for colour fastness). Related parts include other F‑series adjacent fabric specifications (for example ISO 105‑F02, F03, F04, F05, F07, F09) and the broader ISO 105 test methods addressing specific agents and conditions (wash, light, rubbing, perspiration, etc.). The older consolidated standard ISO 105‑F (1985) was revised into these separate F‑parts.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the specification and intended use of a wool adjacent fabric, how its staining properties are assessed against a wool reference adjacent fabric, and the use of defined dyed reference fabrics (two wool and one cotton) for evaluation.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Textile test laboratories, manufacturers, QC departments, standards bodies and research institutions involved in colour‑fastness testing use this standard to ensure consistent adjacent fabric materials for staining assessments.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 105‑F01:2001 is published and has been subject to ISO systematic review; the part has been confirmed as current activity in ISO’s review records (the edition remains the active/confirmed document).
