Scope:

This method assesses the resistance of the colour of textile materials to rubbing off in the dry state or in the presence of moisture or solvent. Such rubbing off of colour may result in fading or streaking, and/or staining of other materials.

 

This method is not recommended for the testing of carpets. A method assessing the colourfastness to crocking of carpets may be found in CAN/CGSB-4.161, Appendix B.

 

Washing, drycleaning, ironing, finishing, etc. may affect the degree of colour transfer from a material.  The test may be done before, after, or before and after any such treatment.
