Overview

ISO 105-C09:2001/Amd 1:2003 is an international standard published by ISO that specifies updated procedures for testing the colour fastness of textiles to domestic and commercial laundering. This amendment introduces detailed methods for assessing fabric resistance to oxidative bleach using non-phosphate reference detergents with low temperature bleach activators. The standard focuses on maintaining textile colour integrity when exposed to modern laundering chemicals designed for environmental safety, such as phosphate-free detergents and bleach activators effective at lower temperatures.

Key Topics

  • Colour Fastness Testing
    This standard defines procedures to evaluate the durability of textile colours after being laundered with specific bleach systems. These tests are essential in ensuring fabric quality and consumer satisfaction through colour retention.

  • Non-Phosphate Reference Detergents
    ISO 105-C09 Amendment 1 specifies the use of ECE non-phosphate reference detergent and AATCC 1993 zero phosphate reference detergent without optical brighteners. These detergents reflect sustainable chemical formulations aligned with environmental regulations.

  • Low Temperature Bleach Activators
    The standard incorporates bleach activators like tetra-acetylethylenediamine (TAED) and sodium nonanoyloxybenzene sulfonate (SNOBS/NOBS) designed to allow effective bleaching at lower temperatures (around 60°C), reducing energy consumption in laundering while preserving textile colour.

  • Oxidative Bleach Response
    A key focus is measuring textiles’ response to oxidative bleaching processes, reflecting real-world washing conditions and ensuring robust colourfastness under commercial and domestic laundering cycles.

  • Detailed Test Procedures
    The document describes preparation of wash liquors, temperature control, treatment durations, rinsing, drying, conditioning, and assessment using grey scales or instrumental methods to quantify colour change precisely.

Applications

  • Textile Manufacturing
    Enables manufacturers to verify that their fabrics maintain colour quality after bleaching with modern, eco-friendly detergents, ensuring product consistency and compliance with purchasers’ specifications.

  • Quality Control in Laundries
    Commercial laundries can apply these testing methods to evaluate fabric tolerance and modify washing protocols to minimize colour damage during processing.

  • Research and Development
    Supports development of new detergent formulations and bleaching agents by providing a standardized assessment method, facilitating innovation in sustainable textile care products.

  • Regulatory Compliance
    Assists organizations in meeting international standards related to textiles’ chemical resistance and environmental stewardship by focusing on phosphate-free detergent systems.

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

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
L'attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de
droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne
