ISO 18168:2015 PDF Download

A method for assessing the colorfastness of textile floor coverings is described in ISO 18168:2015. It offers a means for figuring out how well certain floor coverings' colors withstand fading or alteration when exposed to a reference shampoo solution. This guideline is made to determine how long textile floor coverings will retain their color and how well they will look even after going through shampooing and cleaning procedures.

The standard includes threads, loose fibers, and tufts that have been taken from a range of textile floor coverings. Manufacturers and customers can measure the items' color fastness objectively by exposing these materials to the reference shampoo solution and observing how the colors change as a result. The method described in ISO 18168:2015 enables comparisons between various textile floor coverings and ensures that they fulfill the necessary quality criteria. It also provides for consistent and reliable testing.
