Describes a method for determining the resistance of the colour of textiles of all kinds, except loose fibre, to the action of soap solutions such as those used in degumming raw silk. A specimen of the textile in contact with adjacent fabrics is treated with a soap solution, then rinsed and dried. The change in colour of the specimen and the staining of the adjacent fabrics are assessed with the grey scales.

Overview
SIST EN ISO 105-X08:1999 outlines an essential method for evaluating colour fastness to degumming in textiles. Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) and based on ISO 105-X08:1994, this standard is crucial for textile manufacturers, laboratories, and quality assurance professionals. It describes a procedure for determining how resistant the colour of various textiles is to soap solutions commonly used in the degumming of raw silk. The process involves exposing textile specimens to a soap solution, rinsing, drying, and measuring the resultant colour change and staining using grey scales. This ensures products maintain their appearance and performance throughout processing and usage, which are key quality indicators in the textiles industry.
Key Topics
- Colour fastness: Focuses on the ability of dyed or printed textiles to retain their original colour during and after exposure to soap solutions used in degumming processes.
- Scope: Applies to all textile types except loose fibres, making it a comprehensive method for fabrics and yarns.
- Degumming: Involves the removal of sericin (the natural gum) from raw silk using soap solutions, a critical step in silk processing.
- Testing Method:
- Attachment of textile specimens to adjacent fabrics (raw silk and similar material)
- Treatment with a specified soap solution under controlled conditions
- Rinsing and drying the specimen
- Assessment of colour change and fabric staining using grey scales
- Assessment Tools: Utilizes standardized grey scales for both colour change and staining evaluation.
- Reporting Requirements: Precise documentation of specimen identity, test conditions, and results is mandatory for compliance and reproducibility.
Applications
This standard is widely used in the textile industry for a variety of practical purposes:
- Quality Control: Ensures that finished textile products, especially silk fabrics and blends, maintain colour integrity throughout processing.
- Product Development: Textile designers and manufacturers apply this test to select dyes and processes that offer optimal colour retention.
- Regulatory Compliance: Helps manufacturers meet international market requirements for colour fastness, supporting export and trade by adhering to recognized standards.
- Research and Development: Assists in evaluating the impact of new degumming agents or dyeing processes on textile durability and appearance.
- Third-party Testing: Laboratories and certification bodies use this method for independent assessment of textile colour fastness to verify manufacturer's claims.
Related Standards
SIST EN ISO 105-X08:1999 is part of the broader ISO 105 series on colour fastness testing in textiles. Related standards include:

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be re-
presented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 105-X08 was prepared by Technical Committee
lSO/TC 38, Textiles, Subcommittee SC 1, Tests for coloured textiles and
coloran ts.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition
(ISO 105-XO8:1987), of which it constitutes a technical revision.
ISO 105 was previously published in thirteen “parts ”, each designated by
a letter (e.g. “Part A ”), with publication dates between 1978 and 1985.
Esch part contained a series of “sections ”, each designated by the re-
spective part letter and by a two-digit serial number (e.g. “Section AO1 “).
These sections are now being republished as separate documents, them-
selves designated “Parts” but retaining their earlier alphanumeric desig-
nations. A complete list of these Parts is given in ISO 105-AOI .
