Textiles - Tests for colour fastness - Part B10: Artificial weathering - Exposure to filtered xenon-arc radiation (ISO 105-B10:2011)

ISO 105-B10:2011 specifies a procedure for exposing textiles to artificial weathering in xenon-arc apparatus, including the action of liquid water and water vapour, in order to determine the weather resistance of the colour of textiles. The exposure is carried out in a test chamber with a filtered xenon-arc light source simulating solar spectral irradiance according to CIE 85:1989, Table 4. The method can be used either for determining the colour fastness or the ageing behaviour of the textile under test. The method is also applicable to white (bleached or optically brightened) textiles.

Textilien - Farbechtheitsprüfungen - Teil B10: Künstliche Bewetterung - Beanspruchung gegen gefilterte Xenonbogenstrahlung (ISO 105-B10:2011)

Dieser Teil der ISO 105 legt ein Verfahren fest, bei dem Textilien einer künstlichen Bewitterung in einem
Xenonbogen-Prüfgerät, einschließlich der Einwirkung von Wasser und Wasserdampf ausgesetzt werden, um
die Wetterbeständigkeit der Farbe von Textilien zu bestimmen. Die Belichtung erfolgt in einer Prüfkammer mit
einer gefilterten Xenonbogen-Lichtquelle, die die solare spektrale Bestrahlungsstärke entsprechend
CIE 85:1989, Tabelle 4 simuliert. Das Verfahren kann sowohl für die Bestimmung der Farbechtheit als auch
des Alterungsverhaltens des zu prüfenden Textils verwendet werden. Das Verfahren gilt darüber hinaus für
weiße (gebleichte oder optisch aufgehellte) Textilien.

Overview

EN ISO 105-B10:2011 - Textiles - Tests for colour fastness - Part B10: Artificial weathering - Exposure to filtered xenon‑arc radiation - specifies a laboratory method to assess the weather resistance of textile colour. The procedure exposes textile specimens to filtered xenon‑arc radiation (simulating solar spectral irradiance per CIE 85:1989, Table 4) with optional periodic wetting to reproduce the combined effects of light, liquid water and water vapour. The method is suitable for evaluating colour fastness, ageing behaviour, and is applicable to coloured and white (bleached or optically brightened) textiles.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Light source and filtering: Use quartz‑jacketed xenon‑arc lamps emitting from about 270 nm; daylight filters remove short‑wave UV (<290 nm) and optionally infrared filters reduce unrealistic heating.
  • Test chamber and controls: Specimens are exposed inside a controlled test chamber with regulated irradiance, temperature and humidity; equipment includes radiometers and temperature sensors.
  • Wetting options: Exposure may include periodic water spray or water‑vapour cycles to simulate rain/dew effects on colour change and ageing.
  • Radiant exposure measurement: Radiant exposure H is monitored (H = ∫ E · dt) to quantify energetic dose; irradiance control and measurement are required for correlation with outdoor exposure.
  • Specimen preparation & mounting: Specific guidance for specimen size, mounting, and use of reference and control materials is provided.
  • Assessment methods: Colour change assessed visually with the grey scale (ISO 105‑A02) and/or instrumentally (ISO 105‑A05); ageing behaviour can be followed by measuring properties such as tensile strength.
  • Documentation: Test report must record exposure conditions, irradiance, durations, equipment, and assessment results. Annex A gives typical applications and suggested test durations.

Applications and who uses it

  • Textile manufacturers and dye houses use EN ISO 105‑B10:2011 to validate colour fastness of garments, upholstery, technical textiles and home textiles.
  • Quality‑control and independent testing laboratories apply the standard for product certification, supplier qualification and comparative testing.
  • R&D teams and colour formulators use the method to study ageing behaviour, optimize dye systems, and correlate lab results with outdoor performance.
  • Specification writers, procurement and compliance officers reference the standard when defining acceptance criteria for weather resistance.

Related standards

  • ISO 105 series (general colour fastness methods) - e.g., ISO 105‑A01, ISO 105‑A02, ISO 105‑A05
  • ISO 4892‑1 (laboratory exposure to light sources)
  • ISO 139 (standard atmospheres for conditioning)
  • ISO 9370 (radiant exposure measurement guidance)
  • CIE publications (Colorimetry and solar spectral irradiance)

wavelength, e.g. 340 nm. The ageing behaviour of a textile exposed to artificial weathering, or to artificial radiation,
depends on the type of textile, the conditions of exposure of the textile, the property selected for monitoring the progress
of the ageing process and the degree of change in this property.
3.7
ageing criterion

NOTE  The ageing criterion is specified or agreed upon.
4  Principle
A specimen of the textile to be tested is exposed to artificial radiation from a xenon-arc lamp with or without
periodical wetting. The colour fastness is assessed by comparing the change in colour of the specimen using
the grey scale.
The ageing behaviour is assessed by measuring the degree of change of a selected property, e.g. tensile
strength, compared to an unexposed specimen, using the appropriate test method. The ageing criterion has to
be agreed on by the interested parties and should preferably be one that is important for the practical end-use
of the textile under test.

5  Apparatus and reference materials
5.1  Laboratory light source
5.1.1  General
The light source shall be one or more quartz-jacketed xenon-arc lamps, which emit radiation from about 270 nm
in the ultraviolet through the visible spectrum and into the infrared. In order to simulate global solar radiation at
the earth’s surface as described in CIE 85:1989, Table 4, so-called daylight filters shall be used to remove short
wavelength UV radiation <290 nm. In addition, filters to remove infrared radiation may be used to prevent unrealistic
heating of test specimens that may cause thermal degradation not experienced during outdoor exposures.
NOTE  Solar spectral irradiance for a number of different atmospheric conditions is described in CIE 85:1989. In
accordance with other International Standards, this part of ISO 105 uses Table 4 in CIE 85:1989 as a benchmark for solar
spectral irradiance.
The xenon-arc light source may be either air-cooled or water-cooled. Size, form and number of xenon-arc
lamps will depend on the type of apparatus. An irradiance-controlled light source shall be used.
The variation in irradiance over the area covered by the specimens shall not exceed ±10 % of the mean. If this
cannot be achieved, specimens shall be periodically repositioned to provide equivalent exposure periods in
each location.
The characteristics of xenon-arc lamps and filters are subject to change during use due to ageing, and lamps and
filters shall be replaced at suitable intervals. Furthermore, they are subject to change due to the accumulation
of dirt and shall therefore be cleaned at suitable intervals. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for
replacement and cleaning of lamps and filters.
5.1.2  Spectral irradiance
Appropriate optical filters are used to reduce the xenon-arc emission in order to simulate daylight (CIE 85:1989,
Table 4). The minimum and maximum levels for the relative spectral irradiance in the UV wavelength range of
radiation are given in Table 1.

the data used. For any individual spectral irradiance, the calculated percentage for the bandpasses in this table will sum to 100 %.
For any individual xenon-arc lamp with daylight filters, the calculated percentage in each bandpass shall fall within the minimum and
maximum limits given. Test results can be expected to differ if obtained using xenon-arc devices in which the spectral irradiances
differed by as much as that allowed by the tolerances. Contact the manufacturer of the xenon-arc device for specific spectral irradiance
data for the xenon-arc and filters used.

The data from Table 4 of CIE 85:1989 represent global solar spectral irradiance on a horizontal surface with an air mass of 1,
column ozone of 0,34 cm at standard temperature and pressure (STP), 1,42 cm precipitable water vapour, and spectral optical depth
of aerosol extinction of 0,1 at 500 nm. These data shall always serve as target values for xenon-arc lamps with daylight filters.
e
For the solar spectrum represented by Table 4 in CIE 85:1989, the UV irradiance (290 nm to 400 nm) is 11 % and the visible
irradiance (400 nm to 800 nm) is 89 %, expressed as a percentage of the total irradiance from 290 nm to 800 nm. These percentages
of UV irradiance and visible irradiance on samples exposed in xenon-arc devices may vary due to the number and reflectance
properties of specimens being exposed.
5.2  Test chamber
The design of the test chamber may vary, but it shall be constructed from inert material. The test chamber
shall provide means for measurement and control of irradiance, black-standard or black-panel temperature,
chamber air temperature and relative humidity. It shall also provide a system to provide humidification, a device
for wetting the surface of the samples and a frame to carry specimen holders.
5.3  Radiometer
A radiometer for measuring irradiance either in the range from 300 nm to 400 nm, or at 340 nm, depending on the
type of apparatus used. The radiometer shall comply with the requirements outlined in ISO 9370 and ISO 4892-1.
