SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 5.1 Test Method D2052 is useful for testing to determine if the degree of alteration in shade is satisfactory for the intended end-use and for determining if unacceptable staining of color into adjacent fabric will occur. Note 1: For guidance in evaluating the results of this test method, refer to Practice D3692. 5.2 This test method is considered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments because the method has been used extensively in the trade for acceptance testing. 5.2.1 If there are differences of practical significance between reported test results for two laboratories (or more), comparative tests should be performed to determine if their is a statistical bias between them, using competent statistical assistance. As a minimum, the test samples should be used that are as homogeneous as possible, that are drawn from the material from which the disparate test results were obtained, and that are randomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory for testing. Other materials with established test values may be used for this purpose. The test results from the two laboratories should be compared using a statistical test for unpaired data, at probability level chosen prior to the testing series. If a bias is found, either its cause must be found and corrected, or future test results must be adjusted in consideration of the known bias. 5.3 The method(s) in this standard along with those in Test Methods D2051, D2053, D2054, D2057, D2058, D2059, D2060, D2061, and D2062 are a collection of proven zipper test methods. They can be used as aids in the evaluation of zippers without the need for a thorough knowledge of zippers. The enumerated test methods do not provide for the evaluation of all zipper properties. Besides those properties measured by means of the enumerated test methods there are other properties that may be important for the satisfactory performance of a zipper. Test methods for measuring those properties have not been publishe... SCOPE 1.1 This test method covers the determination of change in shade and of staining of zipper stringers under drycleaning conditions. This test method is applicable to the textile portion of zipper stringers of all materials. 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
Abstract
Overview
ASTM D2052-05(2022) - Standard Test Method for Colorfastness of Zippers to Drycleaning is an internationally recognized testing standard developed by ASTM International. This test method is designed to evaluate the change in color and the potential staining of zipper stringers under simulated drycleaning conditions. Its primary focus is on assessing the colorfastness of the textile portion of zip fasteners made from any material, ensuring product quality and consumer satisfaction in textile and apparel applications.
Key Topics
- Colorfastness to Drycleaning: Determines if the shade alteration of zipper stringers remains within acceptable limits after exposure to drycleaning solvents and processes.
- Assessment of Staining: Evaluates the risk of color transfer from zipper components to adjoining fabrics during drycleaning, using standardized test fabrics and rating scales.
- Testing Procedures: Utilizes multi-fiber test fabrics and established scales such as the AATCC Gray Scale for Color Change and the Chromatic Transference Scale to accurately grade samples.
- Sampling and Data Analysis: Stipulates random sampling methods and the importance of statistical analysis for interlaboratory consistency and bias detection.
- Acceptance Testing: Widely used as an acceptance criterion for commercial zipper shipments, ensuring batch-to-batch quality control.
Applications
ASTM D2052-05(2022) is widely employed by:
- Zipper Manufacturers: To test product durability and color stability before market release.
- Textile and Apparel Brands: For quality assurance during product development and pre-shipment inspections.
- Third-Party Testing Laboratories: As a routine evaluation for compliance with care labeling and customer requirements.
- Procurement and Quality Control: Used in sourcing agreements to set clear expectations for colorfastness performance of zippers in finished products such as garments, bags, footwear, and upholstery.
- Product Certification: Plays a role in certifying products intended for end-uses where routine drycleaning is expected.
By following this method, industry professionals can make informed decisions about the suitability of zippers for use in drycleanable textiles, reducing the risk of customer complaints due to color change or staining.

Practical Value
- Product Reliability: Ensures that zippers maintain appearance and function after drycleaning, a key expectation for many apparel and home textile products.
- Cost Savings: Prevents costly product recalls by identifying non-conforming zipper assemblies before distribution.
- Customer Satisfaction: Supports brand reputation by reducing instances of color staining or visible shade change.
- International Trade: Facilitates compliance with global quality and safety requirements, streamlining export and import operations.
