Overview

EN ISO 105‑E02:2013 - Textiles - Tests for colour fastness - Part E02: Colour fastness to sea water (ISO 105‑E02:2013) specifies a laboratory method to determine how resistant textile colours are to immersion in sea water. The standard describes specimen preparation, a controlled immersion in a sodium chloride solution, pressure‑contact testing between plates, drying, and visual or instrumental assessment of colour change and staining.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and principle: Applies to textiles of all kinds and in all forms; evaluates colour change and staining after sea‑water exposure.
  • Test liquid: Sodium chloride solution (30 g/L) prepared using grade 3 water (ISO 3696).
  • Specimen preparation:
    • Composite specimens using either a multifibre adjacent fabric (ISO 105‑F10) or two single‑fibre adjacent fabrics (ISO 105‑F01–F06).
    • Standard specimen size: (40 ± 2) mm × (100 ± 2) mm.
  • Test device and conditions:
    • Stainless steel frame with weight piece to apply nominal pressure (12.5 ± 0.9 kPa) between glass or acrylic plates.
    • Oven drying at (37 ± 2) °C for 4 hours while under pressure.
  • Assessment methods:
    • Visual assessment with grey scales for change in colour (ISO 105‑A02) and staining (ISO 105‑A03).
    • Instrumental assessment using spectrophotometer or colorimeter (ISO 105‑A04, ISO 105‑A05).
  • Reporting: Requires reference to ISO 105‑E02:2013, sample identification, numerical grey scale and/or instrumental results, details of adjacent fabrics used, and any deviations from the procedure.

Practical applications

  • Assessing performance of textiles intended for marine and coastal use, such as:
    • Swimwear, wetsuits and beachwear
    • Marine upholstery, boat covers and sails
    • Outdoor technical textiles exposed to spray or immersion
    • Textile products where salt‑water exposure may affect appearance or safety
  • Useful in product development, quality control, supplier qualification and claims substantiation (e.g., “sea‑water resistant colour”).

Who uses this standard

  • Textile and apparel manufacturers
  • Independent testing laboratories and quality assurance teams
  • Material specifiers, product designers and R&D departments
  • Procurement and compliance officers evaluating suppliers for marine or outdoor applications

Related standards

  • ISO 105‑A01, A02, A03, A04, A05 (general principles, grey scales, instrumental methods)
  • ISO 105‑F01–F06, F10 (adjacent fabric specifications)
  • ISO 3696 (water for analytical use)
  • ISO 105‑J01, J03 (colour measurement references)

Keywords: colour fastness to sea water, ISO 105‑E02, textiles, colour fastness tests, multifibre adjacent fabric, sodium chloride solution, grey scale, spectrophotometer.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
