NF EN ISO 105-B04

Dans la série des normes qui concerne les essais de solidité des teintures, la présente norme spécifie une méthode de détermination de la résistance des teintures à l'action des intempéries : exposition à la lumière d'une lampe à arc au xénon et aspersion d'eau.

<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="EN-GB">This document specifies a method intended for determining the effect on the colour of textiles of all kinds, except loose fibres, to the action of weather as determined by exposure to simulated weathering conditions in a test chamber equipped with a xenon arc lamp. This document focuses on textiles (such as apparel) where the main evaluation criterium is the colour fastness.</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="EN-GB">This method can be used to determine if a textile is sensitive to the combined effect of light and water.</span></p> <p class="Note"><span lang="EN-GB">NOTE 1<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">        </span>General information on colour fastness to light is given in Annex A.</span></p> <p class="Note"><span lang="EN-GB">NOTE 2<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">        </span>ISO 105-B10 provides guidance on testing textiles or technical textiles, which are permanently exposed to an outdoor environment and/or require mechanical testing (such as tensile strength determination).</span></p>
