Purpose and Scope

This test method is used to determine the amount of color transferred from the surface of colored textile materials to other surfaces by rubbing. It is applicable to textiles made from all fibers in the form of yarn or fabric, whether dyed, printed or otherwise colored and especially to prints where the singling out of areas smaller than possible to test with the standard crockmeter (AATCC Method 8, Colorfastness to Crocking: Crockmeter Method) is required (see 14.1 and 14.7). 

Test procedures employing test squares either dry or wet with water or other liquids are within the scope of this method.
