1.1 This International Standard specifies domestic washing and drying procedures for textile testing. Theprocedures are applicable to textile fabrics, garments or other textile articles which are subjected to appropriatecombinations of domestic washing and drying procedures. This International Standard also specifies thereference detergents and ballasts for the procedures.1.2 Provision is made fora) 13 different washing procedures based on the use of the reference washing machine Type A: horizontalaxis, front-loading type,b) 11 procedures based on the use of the reference washing machine Type B: vertical axis, top-loadingagitator type, andc) 7 procedures based on the use of the reference washing machine Type C: vertical axis, top-loadingpulsator type.1.3 Each washing procedure represents a single domestic wash.1.4 This International Standard also specifies six drying procedures:A — Line dryB — Drip line dryC — Flat dryD — Drip flat dryE — Flat pressF — Tumble dry1.5 A complete test consists of a washing and drying procedure.NOTE Use of different parameters (washing machine type, detergent type and type of tumble drier) may affect testresults for any test using this International Standard. Therefore, parties using this standard are strongly encouraged toagree on the parameters to be used.
