Full title and description

ISO 105‑E13:1994 — Textiles — Tests for colour fastness — Part E13: Colour fastness to acid‑felting: Severe, together with Technical Corrigendum 1 published in 1999 (ISO 105‑E13:1994/Cor 1:1999). The corrigendum provides technical corrections to the 1994 edition; the main test method describes how textile specimens in contact with adjacent fabrics are milled in acidic solutions and then assessed for change in colour and staining using grey scales.

Abstract

This part of ISO 105 specifies a laboratory method for assessing the resistance of coloured textiles to acid‑felting under severe conditions. A specimen in contact with adjacent fabrics is milled in solutions of acetic and/or sulfuric acid, rinsed and dried; both the change in the specimen’s colour and the staining of the adjacent fabrics are evaluated on grey scales. The standard is accompanied by a one‑page technical corrigendum issued in June 1999.

Scope

ISO 105‑E13:1994 defines a laboratory procedure to evaluate the colour fastness of textile materials to acid‑felting under severe conditions. The method applies to textiles in all forms and fibre types where assessment of felting and related staining effects under acid exposure is required; it specifies specimen preparation, adjacent fabrics, acid reagent concentrations, milling conditions, rinsing/drying and assessment using grey scales. The corrigendum corrects technical details of the published procedure.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and application: assessment of acid‑felting (severe) for textiles in contact with adjacent fabrics.
• Test apparatus and materials: milling equipment, specified adjacent fabrics, and controlled reagent solutions (acetic and/or sulfuric acid as described by the method).
• Specimen preparation and conditioning prior to testing, including size and mounting in the test apparatus.
• Detailed test procedure: milling time, temperature control, sequence of acid treatment, rinsing and drying steps.
• Evaluation and reporting: grey scale assessment for change in colour of the specimen and staining of adjacent fabrics, with instructions for recording results and any deviations.

Typical use and users

Used by textile test laboratories, quality control departments in textile and apparel manufacturing, research and development teams (dye and finishing houses), product certification bodies and standards committees. Typical uses include batch acceptance testing, product development comparisons, supplier verification and investigative testing when felting and staining under acidic conditions are a concern.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 105‑E13:1994 is a part of the ISO 105 series that specifies a laboratory method for assessing colour fastness to acid‑felting under severe conditions; it is accompanied by a Technical Corrigendum 1 published in 1999 which corrects technical details of the original text.

Q: What does it cover?

A: The standard covers specimen preparation, the acid‑felting test procedure (milling in acetic and/or sulfuric acid solutions), rinsing and drying, and assessment of both colour change and staining of adjacent fabrics using grey scales.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Textile testing laboratories, manufacturers’ quality control and R&D teams, dye and finish houses, and conformity assessment bodies use this test where resistance to acid‑felting and associated staining is relevant.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 1994 edition (Edition 3) is the current published edition of ISO 105‑E13 with a Technical Corrigendum issued in 1999. The ISO catalogue shows the 1994 edition confirmed through ISO review processes and lists the 1999 corrigendum as published. Users should check ISO catalogues or national standards bodies for the latest confirmation or any subsequent revisions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 105 is a multipart series of methods for tests for colour fastness; E13 is one part (acid‑felting severe) and other parts cover related exposures (E14 mild acid‑felting, E11 steaming, C06 washing, etc.).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Colour fastness, acid‑felting, felting, textiles, ISO 105, grey scale assessment, corrigendum, textile test method.
