American Standard
AATCC series standards: developed by the American Society of Textile and Dyeing Engineers, covering numerous textile performance testing projects. Such as AATCC 6 "Color Fastness to Acid and Alkali", AATCC 8 "Color Fastness to Friction: AATCC Friction Tester Method", AATCC 15 "Color Fastness to Sweating", AATCC 16 "Color Fastness to Light", AATCC 20 "Qualitative Analysis of Fibers", AATCC 20A "Quantitative Analysis of Fibers", AATCC 112 "Formaldehyde Release from Fabrics: Sealed Wide Mouth Bottle Method", etc. These standards are widely used in the field of textile testing in the United States and many countries and regions around the world.
EU standards
Ecological labeling related standards: such as EU Regulation 1980-2000, Decision 2000-730- EC procedures and rules, Decision 2000-728- EC application and approval, Decision 2009-20167- EC conditions for using ecological labels, etc. These regulations impose strict requirements on the environmental performance of textile products using eco labels, including restrictions on harmful substances and environmental impacts during production processes.
EN series standards: In terms of fabric performance testing, international standards ISO series, such as ISO 105 series standards, are mainly used, including B series (light&climate color fastness), C series (washing color fastness), D series (dry cleaning color fastness), E series (detergent washing color fastness), etc. At the same time, there are strict regulations on the detection of harmful substances, such as EN 71-9-10-11, which controls harmful substances in toys and children's products, including harmful chemicals that may be present in clothing; EN 14372-2004 also includes relevant testing items for clothing in the safety requirements for children's products.
In addition, different types of clothing have their own specific standards, such as FZ/T 73012 "Knitted Thermal Underwear", FZ/T 81003 "Machine woven Children's Clothing", etc. Detailed testing requirements will be formulated based on the characteristics of this type of clothing in terms of ingredient content, physical properties, appearance quality, etc.
