Textiles — Tests for colour fastness — Part E09: Colour fastness to potting

A specimen of the textile (textiles of all kinds and in all forms) between adjacent fabrics is rolled around a glass rod and treated with boiling water. The specimen and the adjacent fabrics are dried separately. The change in colour of the specimen and the staining of the adjacent fabrics are assessed with the grey scales. The method is mainly applicable to wool and textiles containing wool.
