DIN 53160-2 PDF Download

In particular, using synthetic sweat, the DIN 53160-2 standard focuses on verifying the colorfastness of items intended for everyday use. The colored items that come into contact with the skin or are anticipated to come into contact with the skin during routine use fall under the purview of this test technique. It tries to evaluate how well the colorants used in these items hold up and resist perspiration exposure.

It is crucial to remember that this criterion does not apply to items that, as agreed upon, include colorants. In other words, this norm does not apply to any specific colorants in an article that are governed otherwise. This standard's goal is to determine whether articles made with artificial sweat are colorfast so that the colors don't bleed, fade, or transfer to the skin while being used.
