Full title and description

ISO 105-F02:2009 — Textiles — Tests for colour fastness — Part F02: Specification for cotton and viscose adjacent fabrics. This part of ISO 105 specifies undyed cotton and undyed viscose adjacent (test) fabrics that may be used as the adjacent fabrics in colour‑fastness staining assessments; it defines the role of reference adjacent fabrics and a dyed reference fabric supplied from a specified source for comparative evaluation.

Abstract

ISO 105-F02:2009 provides specifications for cotton and viscose adjacent fabrics used when assessing staining (transfer of colour) in colour‑fastness tests. The standard describes the use of undyed adjacent fabrics under test, how their staining properties are assessed against cotton and viscose reference adjacent fabrics, and the requirement that reference and test fabrics be obtained from identified sources. Edition 1 was published in May 2009.

Scope

ISO 105‑F02:2009 specifies the composition and required characteristics of undyed cotton and undyed viscose adjacent fabrics intended for use in colour‑fastness staining tests. It sets out the use of identified reference adjacent fabrics and a cotton dyed reference fabric to provide comparative evaluation of staining properties; the detailed test procedures for staining assessment are given in the relevant colour‑fastness test methods of the ISO 105 series. The standard is narrowly scoped to the specification of the adjacent fabrics rather than the test procedures themselves.

Key topics and requirements

• Specification of undyed cotton adjacent fabric for staining assessment.
• Specification of undyed viscose adjacent fabric for staining assessment.
• Requirement to assess a test adjacent fabric against identified cotton and viscose reference adjacent fabrics using a cotton dyed reference fabric from a specified source.
• Normative linkage to the ISO 105 series of colour‑fastness test methods (the fabrics are intended for use in those tests).
• Minimal document length with concise, prescriptive fabric specifications and sourcing requirements (full technical details are contained in the published standard text).

The above topics summarize the normative content; the standard itself contains the precise fabric properties, identification and reference‑fabric sourcing instructions.

Typical use and users

Primary users are textile test laboratories, textile manufacturers and quality‑control departments that perform colour‑fastness staining tests, plus standards bodies and procurement/specification engineers who require reproducible adjacent fabrics for comparative testing. Laboratories use the specified adjacent fabrics when carrying out the relevant ISO 105 colour‑fastness procedures to ensure consistent assessment of staining.

Related standards

ISO 105‑F02:2009 is one part of the ISO 105 series (Tests for colour fastness). Related parts include general principles and instrumental methods (for example ISO 105‑A01), other F‑parts specifying adjacent fabrics for different fibres (ISO 105‑F01, ISO 105‑F03, etc.), and various ISO 105 test methods for water, laundering and light fastness (for example ISO 105‑E01, ISO 105‑C06). Users typically apply F02 together with the relevant test method part of ISO 105.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 105‑F02:2009 is an International Standard that specifies undyed cotton and viscose adjacent (test) fabrics to be used when assessing staining in colour‑fastness tests.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the specification, identification and required use of cotton and viscose adjacent fabrics and their use in comparative staining assessments using designated reference fabrics; it does not itself define the full test procedures (those are in other parts of ISO 105).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Textile test laboratories, manufacturers, quality assurance teams, procurement/specification engineers and standards bodies involved in colour‑fastness testing and conformity assessment.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 105‑F02:2009 was published in May 2009 (Edition 1). According to the ISO catalogue entry it has been through periodic systematic reviews and was recorded as confirmed (i.e., remains the current edition) in ISO’s review cycle (confirmation recorded in ISO records as recently as the 2020s). Users should consult the ISO catalogue for the latest status if they require the very latest review outcome.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the ISO 105 series (Tests for colour fastness), which is a multipart family of standards covering general principles, specific test methods (water, laundering, light, etc.) and specifications for adjacent fabrics for various fibre types.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Colour fastness, adjacent fabric, cotton, viscose, staining, reference fabric, textile testing, ISO 105.
