Grey Scale for Assessing Staining

EN ISO 105-A03 / IUF 132 / VESLIC C 1211

This Grey Scale is for assessing the degree of staining caused by a dyed Textile fabric / yarn  in

colour fastness tests. For example, the staining of wool and cotton fabrics in the wash

fastness, perspiration fastness, etc.

The scale consists of nine pairs of grey colour chips each representing a visual

difference and contrast.

The fastness rating goes step-wise from:

Note 5 = no visual change (best rating)

to Note 1 = a large visual change (worst rating).

The grey scale has the 9 possible values:

5, 4-5, 4, 3-4, 3, 2-3, 2, 1-2, 1.

 

It is now quite common to measure the Grey Scale change in colour instrumentially. This

is made using a suitable reflectance spectrophotometer according to the test method

procedure, EN ISO 105-A05.
