1.1 This test method is designed 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. It is not recommended
for use for carpets or for
prints where the singling out of areas may
be too small using this method.
1.2 Test procedures employing white
test cloth squares, both dry and wet with
water, are given.
1.3 As washing, drycleaning, shrinkage,
ironing, finishing, etc., may affect
the degree of color transfer from a material,
the test may be made before, after, or
before and after any such treatment.
