Proficiency Testing

What is the 秀色直播Proficiency Testing Program?
秀色直播Proficiency Testing Programs (PTPs) support lab certification and continuous improvement initiatives. Samples are selected to provide consistent results in a meaningful range for each test method or evaluation procedure. 秀色直播PTPs cover Antibacterial, Appearance, Color Evaluation, Colorfastness, Fiber Analysis, Moisture Management, and Resistance evaluation procedures for textiles. To view the details of each program visit:
  • 秀色直播sends samples, instructions, and data sheets to participating labs once or twice per year.
  • Labs have approximately one month to complete testing and submit results via email.
  • 秀色直播compiles results and distributes the report to participating labs with a confidential lab code.
  • 秀色直播issues digital Certificates of Participation at the end of the calendar year.
How do I register for the Proficiency Testing Program?
To view the details and register for the Proficiency Testing Program, visit . Registration deadlines are listed for each program, typically about one month before sample distribution. If you are paying by听credit card or ACH,听听is quick and secure. You will receive an emailed invoice confirming payment and registration.

Did my lab pass or fail the Proficiency Test?
秀色直播does not supply satisfactory/unsatisfactory or pass/fail grades to proficiency programs. The sole purpose of the 秀色直播Proficiency Testing Programs is to provide a simple report showing laboratories how their own lab鈥檚 data looks in comparison to other labs鈥 data around the world performing the same tests using the same test specimens. The data provided in the report is not to be interpreted as being right/wrong or satisfactory/unsatisfactory, it鈥檚 only to show a large data population and how your lab鈥檚 data fits within that large data population so that you can come to your own conclusions about your technicians鈥 testing and/or evaluating techniques. Since the Proficiency Programs began in the early 2000s, the staff have been upgrading and revising the data that is included in the results report. The current statistical format was developed by statisticians from the Institute of Textile Technology. The database structure that we use was created from their suggestions and expertise. The Introduction section of the report contains explanations of the statistics that appear with all report booklets. Click here听to view and download a sample report.

What is the correct way to reference an 秀色直播standard?
The official designation for 秀色直播standards is听秀色直播TM/LP/EP/M/faq/-YEAR.
  • Include 鈥淎ATCC鈥 with all designations
  • Do not spell out 鈥淭est Method,鈥 etc.鈥攅ven on first use.
  • No space between letters (TM, etc.) and number.
  • Four-digit year.
  • Note: Beginning in 2020, you will see additional year formats in the Technical Manual. Any reference to a standard should include the full designation listed in the 秀色直播Manual of International Test Methods and Procedures.
Examples:
  • 秀色直播TM8-2016
  • 秀色直播LP1-2018
  • 秀色直播EP9-2017
  • 秀色直播M4-2017
How do 秀色直播standards compare to ISO standards?
Like AATCC, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) publishes test methods for evaluating textile materials. In fact, many ISO colorfastness and water resistance tests are taken directly from 秀色直播test methods. For more than 60 years, 秀色直播was the co-secretariat for ISO/TC38/SC1鈥擳extiles鈥擳ests for Coloured Textiles and Colourants and secretary for ISO/TC38/SC2鈥擳extiles鈥擟leansing, finishing and water resistance tests. In 2010, 秀色直播transitioned these secretariats to other countries in order to focus on its own test methods and activities. Although each country gets a single vote on ISO ballots, individuals may submit comments and opinions to be used in determining a country鈥檚 official position. 秀色直播and ASTM International-Committee D13 Textiles are co-administrators of the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) representing the US in all TC38鈥擳extile activities. To become a TAG expert and be consulted on ISO ballots, contact听Erika Simmons.
What is the relationship between 秀色直播and ASTM?
ASTM International鈥檚 Committee D13 develops test methods and specifications for textile materials. In general, 秀色直播methods tend to focus on colorfastness, wet testing, and chemical analysis. ASTM tests evaluate physical properties of textiles. 秀色直播and ASTM have published several joint Testing Supplements. These supplements are compilations of procedures and guidelines for textile products, not yet included in the official 秀色直播Manual of International Test Methods and Procedures or Annual Book of ASTM Standards. Some are based on long standing industry practices or protocols developed by specific companies for in-house use.听听听秀色直播incorporates ASTM methods in most of its听programs. You can also purchase the Textiles volumes (7.01 & 7.02) of the听from AATCC.
What is the 秀色直播Technical Supplement?
The 秀色直播Technical Supplement is a downloadable compilation of industry practices and guidelines for textile products. THESE ARE NOT OFFICIAL 秀色直播OR ASTM STANDARDS. The Technical Supplement is NOT current and has not been updated since publication in 2004. The documents are not official test methods and were not reviewed or approved by any committee. If you wish to obtain this compilation, you may purchase the Technical Supplement at听. Please use these procedures with caution as they may contain incomplete or outdated instructions.

What is the shelf life of 秀色直播1993 Standard Reference Powder Detergent?
秀色直播1993 Standard Reference Detergent should have an almost indefinite shelf life if stored in sealed containers. None of the components are prone to breakdown unless exposed to moisture. Three years is a reasonable estimate, but shelf life will depend on storage conditions. For this reason, the Certificate of Conformity does not include an expiration date.
Should I use 秀色直播Standard Reference Detergent with or without Optical Brightener to perform laundering tests?
Please see the most up-to-date version of the specific 秀色直播Test Method in the 听and reference your customer's agreed-upon specifications for instructions.
What are the different applications of the 秀色直播Standard Reference Detergents with or without Optical Brightener?
Detergent WITH brightener will provide appearance more like what consumers are likely to see at home鈥攎ost consumer detergents include brighteners. Detergent WITHOUT brightener will allow you to detect issues with dyestuffs because any color change is actually due to dye loss, not masked by brighteners.
How can I verify the UPF of a fabric or garment?
鈥淗ow should I test my garment for UV protection?鈥 It鈥檚 one of the most common questions asked of the staff of the 秀色直播Technical Center. It comes from fabric and garment producers, fiber and chemical companies, and even consumers. There is also a renewed interest within the standards community about testing for UV protection. In 2017, the Australian/New Zealand standard was revised for the first time since it was published in 1996. The 秀色直播UV Protective Textile Labeling Flowchart document provides history, standards explanation, and a testing flow chart in one convenient document.
What is AATCC鈥檚 UV Calibration program?
AATCC鈥檚 UV Calibration program is designed to help users calibrate their spectrophotometers to correctly measure optically brightened specimens and improve consistency and agreement among instruments. A single shipment of one optically brightened textile standard and a copy of the EP11 Evaluation Procedure for UV Energy of Optically Brightened Textiles are provided.听 The standard must be replaced every six months. For more information, visit .
What happened to L4 Blue Wool?
Use the 20 AFU & 5 AFU Blue Wool Lightfastness Standard () 听to verify lightfastness and weathering testing. While modern lightfastness instruments have sophisticated means of measuring and controlling light energy, Blue Wool Standard specimens are still the best way to ensure proper exposure. 秀色直播Blue Wool Lightfastness Standards have traditionally been referred to by an 鈥淟-designation.鈥 The 20 AFU & 5 AFU Blue Wool Lightfastness Standard is technically an L2 fabric, but may also be used as a direct substitute for L4. Refer to instructions included in your purchase of 20 AFU & 5 AFU Blue Wool Lightfastness products (), and appropriate test methods () for proper use of the standard.
