1.1 This standard specifies a method for determining the resistance of the colour of textiles of all kinds and in all forms to the action of dry heat, excluding pressing, as it is used to stabilize the size and form of textiles.
1.2 Three tests differing in temperature are provided; one or more of them may be used, depending on the requirements and the stability of the fibers.
1.3 This method is not intended for the assessment of colour change during crease-resist or dyeing processes.
