Full title and description

ISO 105-D01:2010 — Textiles — Tests for colour fastness — Part D01: Colour fastness to drycleaning using perchloroethylene solvent. This international standard specifies a laboratory method to determine the resistance of textile colours to drycleaning carried out with perchloroethylene (a commonly used drycleaning solvent).

Abstract

ISO 105-D01:2010 describes a controlled test in which textile specimens, typically enclosed with a cotton bag and non‑corrodible steel discs, are agitated in perchloroethylene, then squeezed or centrifuged and dried; the resulting change in colour and staining is assessed (commonly with the grey scale for change in colour). The method is intended to assess colour fastness to drycleaning with perchloroethylene and is not intended to evaluate durability of textile finishes or effects of combined commercial operations such as water spotting or steam pressing.

Scope

This part of ISO 105 specifies a laboratory method for determining the resistance of the colour of textiles of all kinds and in all forms to drycleaning using perchloroethylene solvent. The method applies to assessment in the dry state using solvent alone within containers that do not contain water; it excludes evaluation of textile finishes and is not intended for assessing stain‑removal procedures or combined commercial cleaning operations unless otherwise stated. Other cleaning solvents may be used where required, but the unqualified term “fastness to drycleaning” in ISO 105‑D01:2010 refers specifically to perchloroethylene.

Key topics and requirements

• Test specimen preparation and mounting (specimen with cotton bag and steel discs to simulate mechanical action).
• Use of perchloroethylene as the specified solvent and requirement that test containers are free of water.
• Agitation, squeezing/centrifuging and drying sequence defined to reproduce drycleaning action.
• Assessment criteria using grey scales for change in colour and for staining of adjacent fabrics.
• Limitations: not suitable for evaluating durability of finishes, water‑containing solvents, or combined commercial processes unless specifically stated.
• Provision allowing alternative solvents for specific needs, with the caveat that results are then solvent‑specific.

Typical use and users

Primary users include textile and apparel manufacturers, dye houses, independent textile testing laboratories, quality control departments, procurement/specifications teams, and standards committees. Laboratories use this test to verify product performance claims, support label/instruction decisions (care labeling), and compare materials or dye processes for resistance to standard drycleaning with perchloroethylene.

Related standards

ISO 105-D01 is part of the ISO 105 series (Tests for colour fastness) which contains numerous parts covering fastness to washing, rubbing, light, water, perspiration, and other specific treatments (for example ISO 105-A01 guidance and many C, D, E, and F parts). National adoptions (EN, BS, UNE) exist for interoperability with regional regulations and test programs.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 105-D01:2010 is an international test method that specifies how to evaluate the colour fastness of textiles to drycleaning using perchloroethylene solvent.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers specimen preparation, the drycleaning simulation cycle (agitation, squeeze/centrifuge, drying), and assessment of change in colour and staining using grey scales; it is specific to perchloroethylene unless another solvent is explicitly specified. It does not evaluate durability of textile finishes or spot/stain removal procedures.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Textile manufacturers, dyers, independent testing laboratories, product development and quality assurance teams, and standards bodies use the test to verify and compare materials’ resistance to drycleaning.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 105-D01:2010 (Edition 5) is the current ISO edition published in 2010; the earlier 1993 edition was withdrawn and superseded by the 2010 edition. The ISO bibliographic record indicates the 2010 version was reviewed and confirmed (status maintained) as of the 2020 review cycle.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one part of the ISO 105 series (Textiles — Tests for colour fastness), a comprehensive collection of test methods and guidance covering many different kinds of fastness and related procedures.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: colour fastness; drycleaning; perchloroethylene; textile testing; grey scale; ISO 105; specimen; assessment; quality control.
