This Standard specifies a procedure for exposing textiles to artificial weathering in filtered xenon-arc apparatus (including the action of liquid water and water vapour) in order to determine the weather resistance of the colour of textiles. The filtered xenon- arc light source in the test chamber simulates the solar spectral irradiance specified in Table 4 of CIE 85:1989. This Standard applies to the testing of textiles for either their weather fastness or aging resistance; it also applies to white (bleached or optically brightened) textiles.
