ISO 23231:2025

Textiles - Determination of dimensional change of fabrics - Accelerated machine method

This document specifies a test method for an accelerated procedure for the determination of the dimensional change of fabrics which will then be made into garments or other end-use articles that will be laundered in a variety of settings. The procedure uses an apparatus with programmable settings that simulate multiple domestic or industrial laundering actions as well as wet processing operations in fabric manufacturing. This method is less suitable for heavy, tightly woven fabrics, such as denim, and fabrics with water-repellent finish. This method and the apparatus are not intended to be used to develop care labels.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.
