Textiles — Tests for colour fastness — Part N04: Colour fastness to bleaching: Sodium chlorite (severe)

Specifies a method for determining the resistance of the colour of natural cellulose textiles to the action of severe bleaching with sodium chlorite as ordinarily employed in textile processing.
