Full title and description

DIN EN ISO 3175-2:2010-08 — Textiles — Professional care, drycleaning and wetcleaning of fabrics and garments — Part 2: Procedure for testing performance when cleaning and finishing using tetrachloroethene (perchloroethylene). This document is the German/adopted version of the EN/ISO text and reproduces the international standard's technical content for national use.

Abstract

Specifies drycleaning test procedures using tetrachloroethene (perchloroethylene) in commercial dry‑cleaning machines to evaluate the behaviour of fabrics and garments during cleaning and subsequent finishing. It includes procedures for normal, sensitive and very sensitive materials and describes the sequence of cleaning + finishing cycles typically required to reveal progressive changes (most effects become evident after about three to five full cleaning/finishing cycles).

Scope

Defines standardised machine dry‑cleaning procedures using tetrachloroethene to assess how fabrics and garments respond to professional drycleaning and finishing. The standard is intended to provide repeatable, comparable test cycles for normal, sensitive and very sensitive textile articles and to support assessment of properties and changes caused by cleaning and finishing processes (in conjunction with the assessment methods given in ISO 3175‑1).

Key topics and requirements

• Standardised dry‑cleaning cycles using tetrachloroethene (perchloroethylene) in commercial dry‑cleaning machines.
• Separate procedures/parameters for normal, sensitive and very sensitive materials to avoid overstressing delicate constructions.
• Specification of finishing procedures (typical steam and/or pressing treatments) to be applied after cleaning for a complete performance assessment.
• Recommendation to perform multiple cleaning + finishing cycles (commonly three to five) to reveal cumulative effects on appearance, dimensional stability and other properties.
• Intended to be used together with ISO 3175‑1 (assessment methods) and other parts of the ISO 3175 series that cover different solvents and simulated wet‑cleaning procedures.

Typical use and users

Test laboratories, textile and garment manufacturers, professional care and drycleaning equipment manufacturers, quality assurance teams, and standards bodies use this standard to evaluate and compare fabric and garment performance following professional drycleaning with tetrachloroethene. It is used for product development, quality control and conformity checks where drycleaning behaviour is a required characteristic.

Related standards

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: DIN EN ISO 3175‑2:2010‑08 is the German/adopted national version of EN/ISO 3175‑2:2010, a test method that specifies how to perform and standardise dry‑cleaning cycles with tetrachloroethene to evaluate textile behaviour during cleaning and finishing.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers machine dry‑cleaning procedures using tetrachloroethene for normal, sensitive and very sensitive fabrics and garments, and describes finishing and repeat‑cycle procedures needed to assess progressive changes in textile properties. It supports evaluation methods given in ISO 3175‑1.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Textile test laboratories, garment and textile manufacturers, professional care (drycleaning) operators, equipment suppliers and conformity/quality assurance personnel.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2010 edition has been superseded in the ISO lifecycle—ISO's bibliographic record indicates the 2010 edition was withdrawn and a newer edition was published (the ISO 3175‑2:2017 series update); the DIN national record lists the 2010 DIN EN ISO version as superseded by later editions/adoptions. Users should refer to the latest ISO/DIN/EN titles (2017/2018 series updates) for the current normative text.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 3175 is a multipart series covering professional care, drycleaning and wetcleaning test procedures. Other parts address assessment methods (part 1) and procedures using different solvent types (parts 3, 4, 5, etc.).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Textiles; drycleaning; tetrachloroethene (perchloroethylene); cleaning performance; finishing; professional care; ISO 3175.
