Purpose and Scope
This test method is intended for assessing the colorfastness of textiles of all kinds and in all forms to the action of steam pleating processes. The materials are not pleated during the test, and it is emphasized that the test is not intended for assessing the quality of the pleating process (see 12.1).
Three (3) tests, differing in severity, are provided; one (1) or more of them may be used.
The severe test is intended primarily for wholly manufactured textiles such as those made from polyamide and polyester fibers. It should not be used for textiles containing wool.
