15、cing of exposure conditions for UV-protective fabrics and garments.5. Significance and Use5.1 The significance of this practice is that cloth, labeled as UV-protective, which will ultimately be submitted for UVtransmittance testing will be in a state that simulates their condition at the end of two

16、years of normal seasonal use. Therefore, theUV-protection level ultimately placed on a label estimates the maximum UV transmittance of the garment fabric during a two-yearlife cycle.6. Sampling and Test Specimens6.1 Primary Sampling UnitConsider rolls or bolts of fabric, or cartons of garments to be

17、 the primary sampling unit, asapplicable.6.1.1 Take the number of primary sampling units from each lot, shipment, or production run in accordance with Practice E122.6.2 Laboratory Sampling Unit:6.2.1 Take the number of laboratory sampling units from the primary sampling unit in accordance with Pract

18、ice E122.6.2.2 Rolls or Bolts of FabricTake from each primary sampling unit one full-width piece of fabric that is about 1 m (1 yd)in length along the selvage (machine direction), after removing a first 1-mm length. For narrow fabrics, a longer sample lengthmay be required to meet the test specimen

19、requirements.6.2.3 GarmentsTake from each primary sampling unit one entire garment. For small garments, such as childrens, wheresufficient material is not available to meet the three test specimens requirement, take a pair of garments and treat as one samplingunit.6.3 LaunderingUnless exempt from la

20、undering, launder the laboratory sampling unit or a section of it that is at least 380 by380 mm (15 by 15 in.) using exposure conditions as described in 8.1. If the laboratory sampling unit does not have the minimum380-mm dimension, then take a section that is at least 1450 cm2(225 in.2). For small

21、samples, it may be necessary to seal the edgesto prevent raveling during laundering.6.4 Test SpecimensAs test specimens, take from each laboratory sampling unit at least three specimens of each fabric typein accordance with Practice D2905.6.4.1 For simulated sunlight and chlorinated water testing, c

22、ut test specimens 125 by 180 mm (5 by 7 in.).6.4.2 Cut specimens representing a broad distribution diagonally across the width of the laboratory sampling unit. Ensurespecimens are free of folds, creases, or wrinkles. Avoid getting oil water, grease, and so forth on the specimens when handling.For pr

23、inted fabrics, ensure that all colors in the pattern are contained in the test specimen.6.4.3 For fabric widths 125 mm (5 in.) or more, take no specimen closer than 25 mm (1 in.) from the selvage edge.6.4.4 For fabric widths less than 125 mm (5 in.) use the entire width for specimens.6.4.5 When a ga

24、rment is the laboratory sampling unit, take test specimens from various areas of the garment. Avoid takingspecimens along seams.6.4.6 When the required minimum of three specimens cannot be taken from one garment as might be the case with childrensgarments, then take two specimens from each of two ga

25、rments, the pair of garments constituting a laboratory sampling unit.6.4.7 When a garment is made from different fabrics, at least three test specimens are required of each fabric that covers 10 %or more of the body surface covered by the garment.7. Procedure7.1 For garments other than swimwear and

26、fabrics intended to be made into garments other than swimwear, launder 40 timesusing the exposure conditions described in 8.1 and then take specimens from these fabrics and expose to 100AATCC Fading Unitsof simulated sunlight in accordance with the conditions described in 8.2 . (see Note 1).NOTE 1Wh

27、en this practice was first written 40 launderings was determined to simulate the equivalent to two years worth of wearing. Materials madeof different fibers or colors, or both, can act differently to laundering. Some materials may produce higher UPF values, some will not change significantly,while o

28、thers may produce lower UPF values after laundering. Without prior knowledge of how materials will act to laundering, 40 launderings isnecessary to allow for the evaluation of the materials that will show a decrease in UPF values.7.2 For swimwear and fabric intended for swimwear, launder 40 times in

29、 accordance with the exposure conditions describedin 8.1. Then take specimens from the laundered fabrics or garments and expose those specimens to 100 AATCC Fading Units ofsimulated sunlight in accordance with the conditions described in 8.2 and then to chlorinated water in accordance with thecondit

30、ions described in 8.3.7.3 Garments and fabrics intended for use in garments other than swimsuits that are sold with the expectation they will not belaundered (such as disposable or limited-use garments for pesticide application) need only be exposed to simulated sunlight.8. Exposure Conditions8.1 La

31、undering:8.1.1 Conditions of ExposureHand washing or automatic machine washing, wash water temperature, agitation cycle inautomatic laundering, drying method and temperature if machine drying, and use of bleach must be those that will be conveyedD6544 122to the consumer on the care label attached to

32、 the fabric/garment. Those conditions should have been determined by followingGuide D3938.8.1.1.1 Care procedures determined in accordance with Guide D3938 may be modified when it is established that thoseprocedures increase the UV-transmittance of the fabric.8.1.1.2 Follow one of the washing and dr

33、ying procedures in AATCC 135 or AATCC 172 that matches the care instructions ofthe fabric or garment.8.1.2 The specimens to be laundered may be garments, one-yard lengths of fabric, or areas of fabric having minimumdimensions of 380 by 380 mm (15 by 15 in.) or when applicable 1450 cm2(225 in.2).8.2

34、Simulated Sunlight:8.2.1 A xenon-arc lamp must be used which limits the test conditions to those described in AATCC 16 E.8.2.2 For directions for preparing the specimens to be exposed to UV radiation, refer to the test preparation section of TestMethod AATCC 16E noting that only two specimens are re

35、quired and that the specimens are to be cut from the launderedspecimens and omitting the section which refers to the testing of yarns, not fabrics.8.3 Chlorinated Pool Water:8.3.1 For preparation of the specimens to be exposed to chlorinated pool water, refer to the procedure section of Test MethodA

36、ATCC 162. Ignore the reference to colored specimens as white specimens may also be exposed to chlorinated pool waterconditions.8.3.2 The specimens are those previously laundered and exposed to simulated sunlight.8.3.3 For the exposure procedure, follow the procedure provided in the procedure section

37、 of Test Method AATCC 162 with theexception that the chlorine concentration in milligrams per kilogram should be adjusted so it is equal to the unit mass of the fabricspecimen.9. Report9.1 Report that the specimens were prepared for UV transmission testing as directed in this practice. Describe the

38、material orproduct samples.9.2 Specific Conditions of Each Exposure:9.2.1 Use Table X1.1 to report all applicable information about laundering conditions.9.2.2 Use Table X1.2 to report all applicable information about simulated sunlight exposure.9.2.3 Use Table X1.3to report all applicable chlorinat

39、ed pool water exposure conditions.9.3 Deviations from Specified Conditions:9.3.1 Report any deviation from laundering conditions specified in AATCC 135 into Table X1.1.9.3.2 Report any deviation from AATCC Test Method 16 E or the performance of the reference standard used in Table X1.29.3.3 Report a
