Full title and description

ISO 105-C09:2001/Amd 1:2003 — Textiles — Tests for colour fastness — Part C09: Colour fastness to domestic and commercial laundering — Oxidative bleach response using a non-phosphate reference detergent incorporating a low temperature bleach activator — Amendment 1 (PDF available).

Abstract

This amendment (Amd 1:2003) applies to ISO 105‑C09:2001, which specifies a laboratory method to determine consumer‑relevant shade change of textiles (excluding silk and wool) after domestic/commercial laundering that uses an oxygen bleaching system (bleach activator). The test procedure in the standard uses a non‑phosphate reference detergent together with sodium perborate and a low‑temperature bleach activator (TAED). The amendment provides updates/corrections to the 2001 text.

Scope

Specifies a method to assess shade change of textile materials (except silk and wool) subjected to domestic or commercial laundering procedures that include an oxygen bleaching system activated at low temperature. The method indicates the likely shade‑change behaviour after multiple launderings and is not intended for assessment of dye staining of adjacent fabrics (see ISO 105‑A04 for that purpose). The standard describes use of an ECE non‑phosphate reference detergent, sodium perborate and the bleach activator TAED; an alternative AATCC‑based procedure was noted as under development.

Key topics and requirements

• Laboratory procedure for colour fastness to domestic/commercial laundering with oxidative (oxygen) bleaching systems.
• Use of a specified non‑phosphate reference detergent (ECE type) together with sodium perborate tetrahydrate and TAED as the bleach activator.
• Assessment target: consumer‑relevant overall shade change after repeated launderings (not dye staining of adjacent fabrics).
• Test limits and evaluation scales to quantify shade change for quality control and specification compliance.
• Amendment items: editorial/technical updates to the 2001 text (see amendment document for exact changes).

Typical use and users

Used by textile test laboratories, manufacturers (fabric and garment), quality and compliance teams, product development, certification bodies and standards committees to evaluate and specify colour performance of dyed/printed textiles when laundered with oxygen bleaching systems. Also used by procurement and technical specification authors when defining washfastness requirements.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is Amendment 1 (2003) to ISO 105‑C09:2001, the ISO test method for assessing colour fastness (shade change) of textiles to domestic/commercial laundering using an oxygen bleaching system; available as a PDF amendment document.

Q: What does it cover?

A: The method covers a laboratory test procedure using a specified non‑phosphate reference detergent together with sodium perborate and a low‑temperature bleach activator (TAED) to determine consumer‑relevant shade change after repeated launderings; it does not cover dye staining of adjacent fabrics.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Textile test houses, manufacturers, quality assurance teams, product developers, compliance/certification bodies and standards committees use it for product specification, quality control and regulatory/conformity checks.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The amendment document was published in late 2003 and the ISO entries show the 2001 edition and its amendment as published and in ISO’s lifecycle records; ISO has recorded review activity for the base standard (the 2001 edition was confirmed in periodic reviews), and a draft revision (ISO/DIS 105‑C09) has been listed as under development. Users should check ISO or their national standards body for the very latest revision status before relying on it for regulatory decisions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one part (C09) of the ISO 105 series of standards on Tests for colour fastness; the series includes multiple parts addressing different exposures and assessments (e.g., staining, washing, light).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Colour fastness, laundering, oxidative bleach, bleach activator, TAED, non‑phosphate reference detergent, ISO 105‑C09, textile testing, shade change.
