Test criteria
Our tests evaluate the durability of your product under realistic conditions of use. In line with the care label, the products are tested using standard household detergent in household washing machines after 30 wash cycles.
Our tests are based on a realistic simulation of durability in everyday use and are supplemented on a product-specific basis:
- Dimensional change – preparation and measurement of test samples (ISO 3759)
- Appearance after washing and drying (extract from ISO 15487)
- Colour fastness to washing (ISO 105-C06)
- Colour fastness to perspiration (ISO 105-E04)
Product-specific:
- Determination of spirality after laundering (ISO 16322-3)
- Colour fastness to light (ISO 105-B02)
- Determination of elasticity (ISO 20932-1)
- Bursting strength (ISO 13938-2)
The wash tests are carried out in accordance with ISO 6330. This standard simulates typical household laundering in order to evaluate how the products behave under realistic conditions of use.
