• Colour Fastness Test: The resistance of colour change in a treated fabric compared to the original. Types of Colour Fastness:

• Colour Fastness to Washing: Tested by mechanically agitating a specimen with soap or soap & soda solution and comparing the change in colour to the original fabric with a greyscale. Testing Method: IS/ISO 105-C10:2006.

• Colour Fastness to Organic Solvent: Tested by agitating a specimen in an organic solvent and comparing the change in colour to the original fabric with a greyscale. Testing Method: IS 688-1988.

• Colour Fastness to Perspiration: Tested by exposing the specimen to two different solutions containing histidine and comparing the change in colour to the original fabric with a greyscale. Testing Method: IS 971-1983.

• Colour Fastness to Bleaching: Tested by agitating the specimen in Sodium Hypochlorite and Hydrogen peroxide solution and comparing the change in colour to the original fabric with a greyscale. Testing Method: IS 762-1988.

• Identification of Fibres: The process of determining the type of fibres in a textile artefact. Testing Method: IS 667-1981.

• Blend Fiber Composition: The determination of different fibres in a sample. Testing Method: IS 1564-1988, IS 1889-1976, IS 2005-198, IS 2006-1988, IS 3416-1999, IS 3421-1988, IS 6503-1988, IS 6504-1988, IS 9896-1981.

• Chloride and Sulphate Test: In textile industries, during various treatments, textiles may gather or be added with water-soluble salts such as sizing or finish materials. Excessive amounts of these substances may have harmful effects on the fibers. Test methods: IS 4202 – 1967 for Chloride and IS 4203 – 1967 for Sulphate.

• Fatty Matter Content Test: The sample is extracted with a solvent and the residue is expressed as fatty matter. Test method: IS 199 – 1989.

• Moisture Content Test: The sample of textile (in the form of yarn, fiber, or fabric) is dried at 105°C and the loss in weight is expressed as the moisture content.

• Ash Content Test: The dried textile sample is ignited under specific conditions and the residue left is expressed as the ash content.

• Iron & Chromium Test: Iron and Chromium are commonly found in mineral khaki-dyed textiles, used for making uniforms, etc. Test method: IS 4655 – 1968.
