This document describes the grey scale for determining staining of adjacent fabrics in colour fastness tests, and its use. A precise colorimetric specification of the scale is given as a permanent record against which newly prepared working standards and standards that may have changed can be compared.

Overview

EN ISO 105-A03:2019 is an international standard established by CEN and ISO that specifies the grey scale methodology used to assess staining in adjacent fabrics during colour fastness testing. This standard provides a precise colorimetric specification of the grey scale as a permanent, reproducible reference for assessing and comparing staining levels on textiles. It is critical for maintaining consistent quality control across textile manufacturing and testing processes.

The standard replaces the previous version EN 20105-A03:1994 and incorporates technical updates including allowance for grey and black sleeves during testing and tighter tolerances for colorimetric values.

Key Topics

Grey Scale Definition The grey scale consists of pairs of non-glossy chips or swatches in white and neutral grey colors, covering colour fastness ratings from 5 (no staining) to 1 (severe staining). The scale visualizes perceived colour differences that correspond directly to fastness ratings.

Colourimetric Specification The standard provides detailed colorimetric data, using the CIELAB color space and ISO/CIE 11664-1 (10° observer, illuminant D65), ensuring objective and reproducible measurement of staining contrasts.

Scale Variants There are 5-step and augmented 9-step grey scales, with the latter including half-step intervals (e.g., 4-5, 3-4) for more nuanced assessment of colour staining.

Test Procedure Samples are compared side by side under controlled lighting (600 lux, natural sky light or equivalent) against a neutral grey background. Masking materials matching the sleeve colors are used to avoid visual bias.

Rating Assignment The degree of staining is rated according to the visual match between the tested fabric and the grey scale chips. Intermediate ratings are assigned when differences fall between two standard steps.

Applications

Textile Quality Control EN ISO 105-A03:2019 is essential for textile manufacturers and quality assurance laboratories to consistently evaluate staining that occurs during colour fastness tests, such as rubbing, washing, or exposure to light.

Product Development and Compliance Textile designers and developers use this grey scale method to assess product durability and ensure compliance with international quality standards before market release.

Standardization and Certification This standard supports certification processes by providing a universally accepted method to compare colour staining effects across different labs and regions.

Research and Testing Laboratories Testing facilities use the grey scale as a reference for training, validation, and calibration of equipment and personnel in colour fastness assessment.
