Textiles — Tests for colour fastness — Part X08: Colour fastness to degumming
Describes a method for determining the resistance of the colour of textiles of all kinds, except loose fibre, to the action of soap solutions such as those used in degumming raw silk. A specimen of the textile in contact with adjacent fabrics is treated with a soap solution, then rinsed and dried. The change in colour of the specimen and the staining of the adjacent fabrics are assessed with the grey scales.

La présente partie de l'ISO 105 prescrit une méthode pour la détermination de la résistance des teintures sur les textiles de toute nature, à l'exception de la fibre en bourre, à l'action des solutions savonneuses telles qu'on les utilise pour décreuser la soie grège.

Overview
ISO 105-X08:1994 - Textiles - Tests for Colour Fastness - Part X08: Colour Fastness to Degumming sets out a standardized method for determining the colour fastness of textiles, other than loose fibres, to the effects of soap solutions used during the degumming process-especially relevant for raw silk. Degumming is a crucial process in the textile industry, particularly for silk, as it removes sericin (silk gum) with soap solutions. This standard evaluates a textile’s resistance to colour change and staining under these conditions, using grey scales for assessment.
Key Topics
- Colour fastness assessment: Establishes a process to measure a textile’s resistance to colour change and staining when exposed to degumming soap solutions.
- Applicability: Relevant for fabrics and yarns of all textile types except loose fibre.
- Standardized procedure: Involves treating the textile specimen, in contact with adjacent fabrics, with a defined soap solution, then rinsing and drying under controlled conditions.
- Evaluation criteria: The colour change in the tested specimen and the degree of staining on adjacent fabrics are measured using ISO standard grey scales, providing objective, repeatable results.
- Adjacent fabrics: Includes the use of raw silk and another fabric matching the type being tested or predominant in blends.
Applications
The ISO 105-X08:1994 standard is widely used in the textiles sector for:
- Quality control in silk production: Ensures dyed silk fabrics maintain their shade during the degumming process, critical for manufacturers and exporters of silk textiles.
- Textile research and development: Assists textile technologists and dye manufacturers to improve dye formulations and fabric treatments for better colour retention.
- Global textile trade: Standardization helps buyers and suppliers across countries align on product quality specifications, reducing disputes related to colour fastness.
- Certification and compliance: Textile producers can demonstrate compliance with recognized international standards, enhancing credibility and acceptance in global markets.
- Consumer safety and satisfaction: Helps manufacturers produce textiles that retain their appearance and do not bleed colour, leading to higher consumer confidence.
Related Standards
For comprehensive evaluation of colour fastness in textiles, ISO 105-X08:1994 references and complements several other standards:
- ISO 105-A01:1994 - General principles of testing for colour fastness in textiles.
- ISO 105-A02:1993 - Grey scale for assessing change in colour, used to evaluate the degree of shade alteration in tested specimens.
- ISO 105-A03:1993 - Grey scale for assessing staining, essential for measuring dye transfer to adjacent fabrics.
- ISO 105-F:1985 - Specification for standard adjacent fabrics, which ensures consistency in testing environments.
Practical Value
Implementing ISO 105-X08:1994 ensures consistent and reliable results in evaluating textile colour fastness to degumming. By following this standard:
- Manufacturers produce textiles that meet international quality benchmarks.
- Laboratories can compare results worldwide, facilitating clear communication in the textile supply chain.
- Brands and retailers can trust that the colour of their silk and other fabrics will remain stable through common wet processing steps, especially important for high-value garments and interior textiles.
Adhering to this method supports sustainable practices and reduces waste by enabling early detection of colour fastness issues, helping suppliers deliver textiles that meet expectations in durability and appearance. Using internationally recognized ISO standards ensures lasting customer satisfaction and global market access in the textile industry.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be re-
presented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 105-X08 was prepared by Technical Committee
lSO/TC 38, Textiles, Subcommittee SC 1, Tests for coloured textiles and
coloran ts.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition
(ISO 105-XO8:1987), of which it constitutes a technical revision.
ISO 105 was previously published in thirteen “parts ”, each designated by
a letter (e.g. “Part A ”), with publication dates between 1978 and 1985.
Esch part contained a series of “sections ”, each designated by the re-
spective part letter and by a two-digit serial number (e.g. “Section AO1 “).
These sections are now being republished as separate documents, them-
selves designated “Parts” but retaining their earlier alphanumeric desig-
nations. A complete list of these Parts is given in ISO 105-AOI .
