NF EN ISO 105-B04, G07-012-4 (03/2024)

This document specifies a method intended to determine the effect on the colors of textiles of all types, except on fibers in fiber, of the action of bad weather by exposure to simulated bad weather conditions in an equipped test chamber of a xenon arc lamp. This document focuses on textiles (such as clothing) for which the main evaluation criterion is color fastness. The present method can be used to determine the sensitivity of a textile to the combined effect of light and water. NOTE 1 General information on color fastness to light is given in Annex A. NOTE 2 ISO 105-B10 provides recommendations for the testing of textiles or technical textiles, which are permanently exposed to an environment exterior and/or which require mechanical tests (determination of tensile strength, for example).
