Overview

EN ISO 105-S03:1995 is an international standard developed by CEN and ISO that specifies a precise method for testing the colour fastness of textiles to vulcanization in open steam. This standard is applicable to textiles of all types and forms, providing critical guidance for assessing how well textile colours resist the effects of vulcanization-a process involving the curing of rubber compounds using steam.

The test method evaluates textile samples exposed to conditions simulating vulcanization in the proofing industry, focusing on how the textile colour withstands both the rubber compound and its decomposition products during treatment with open steam. Two distinct procedures are outlined-method A prevents direct steam contact with the specimen, while method B allows live steam infiltration-ensuring reliable assessment for varying industrial situations.

Key Topics

  • Test Purpose: Measures resistance of textile colour to vulcanization in open steam, simulating real rubber curing conditions.
  • Specimen Preparation:
    • Textile specimens are applied to uncured rubber sheets (2.5 mm thick) either as fabric samples, knitted yarn, or loose fibres.
    • Adjacent fabrics (multifibre or single-fibre types) are wrapped around the sample to monitor staining during testing.
  • Testing Methods:
    • Method A: Uses impermeable sheeting and additional cotton layers to prevent steam from contacting the textile directly.
    • Method B: Allows steam to infiltrate adjacent fabric layers, testing textile exposure to live steam.
  • Apparatus:
    • Jacketed autoclave capable of maintaining 139–142 °C steam temperature under 350–380 kPa pressure.
    • Stainless steel open-ended tube wrapped with the test specimen.
  • Assessment:
    • Change in colour and staining of adjacent fabrics are evaluated using standardized grey scales (ISO 105-A02 for colour change and ISO 105-A03 for staining).
    • Specimens are conditioned post-test under standard atmospheric conditions before assessment.
  • Reporting:
    • Detailed report including specimen ID, adjacent fabric type, staining results, and method of wrapping.

Applications

EN ISO 105-S03:1995 has significant practical value in industries related to textiles and rubber processing, particularly:

  • Textile Manufacturing: Ensuring that dyed fabrics maintain colour quality during post-treatment involving vulcanization, crucial for product aesthetics and performance.
  • Rubber Proofing Industry: Evaluating the interaction between textile materials and rubber compounds during the vulcanization process, especially for products such as gloves, hoses, and inflatable materials.
  • Quality Control: Helping manufacturers comply with international colour fastness requirements, ensuring consistent durability of textile colours through harsh steam vulcanization conditions.
  • Material Development: Supporting research and development for improving textile dyes and finishes that resist degradation during combination processes with rubber products.

Related Standards

To implement EN ISO 105-S03:1995 effectively, it is essential to consider complementary international standards that support the testing framework:

  • ISO 105-A01: General principles of testing colour fastness for textiles.
  • ISO 105-A02: Grey scale for assessing change in colour.
  • ISO 105-A03: Grey scale for assessing staining.
  • ISO 105-F10: Specifications for adjacent multifibre fabrics used in colour fastness testing.
  • ISO 139: Standards for conditioning and testing atmospheres for textiles.

These interlinked standards ensure uniformity in sample preparation, testing conditions, and evaluation criteria, generating repeatable and comparable results in colour fastness testing worldwide.

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. Esch 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.
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.
International Standard ISO 105-SO3 was prepared by Technical Committee
lSO/TC 38, Textiles, Sub-Committee SC 1, Tests for coloured textiles and
coloran ts.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (included in
ISO 105-S:1978), of which it constitutes a minor revision.
ISO 105 was previously published in thirteen “Parts”, each designated by
a letter (e.g. “Part A”), with publication dates between 1978 and 1985.
Esch part contained a series of “sections”, each designated by the re-
spective part letter and by a two-digit serial number (e.g. “Section AO1 “).
These sections are now being republished as separate documents, them-
selves designated “Parts” but retaining their earlier alphanumeric desig-
nations. A complete list of these Parts is given in ISO 105-AOI .
