Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISOmember bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technicalcommittees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established hasthe right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, inliaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International ElectrotechnicalCommission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject ofpatent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 6330 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, Textiles, Subcommittee SC 2,Cleansing, finishing and water resistance tests.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 6330:1984) which has been technically revised.
Annexes A to C form a normative part of this International Standard.

Textiles — Domestic washing and drying procedures for textiletesting
1 Scope
1.1
1.2 Provision is made for:
1.3 Each washing procedure represents a single domestic wash.
1.4 This International Standard also specifies five drying procedures:
A — Line dryB — Drip dryC — Flat dryD — Flat pressE — Tumble dry
1.5 A complete test consists of a washing and drying procedure.
2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions ofthis International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of thesepublications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged toinvestigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. Forundated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IECmaintain registers of currently valid International Standards.
3 PrincipleA specimen is washed in an automatic washing machine and dried according to specified procedures.
This International Standard specifies standardized washing and drying procedures for textile testing. The procedures are applicable to textile fabrics, garments and other made-up textile articles which are subjected to appropriate combinations of domestic washing and drying procedures.
a) ten different washing procedures based on the use of a horizontal drum, front loading type machine (type A washer).
This amendment allows for the use of a replacement of the horizontal drum machine and the machine specified in previous additions of this International Standard. The original machine is no longer manufactured.
Limited trials carried out indicate that tested fibre and fabric types in both machines give similar results under the same wash conditions.
b) eleven different washing procedures based on the use of top loading agitator type of machine (type B washer).
The results obtained in the two types of machine, horizontal and vertical, may not be the same.

5.4 Electrically (dry heated) heated flat-bed press. If this method of drying is used, the type of press shall bespecified between the interested parties.
5.5 Facilities for line drying (see 8.1) or drip drying (see 8.2).
5.6 Screen drying racks of approximately 16 mesh stainless steel or plastic (see 8.3).
6 Test specimens
The number of specimens to be subjected to the washing and drying procedures specified in this InternationalStandard will be determined by the purpose for which the material is being tested.
7 Washing procedure
7.1 Select the washing procedure to be used from those given in Table 1 for a front-loading type of machine orfrom Table 2 for a top-loading type of machine.
7.2 Weigh the (individual) specimens or made-up articles (8.2) or garments (8.5) before washing if they are to betumble dried.
7.3 Place the material to be washed in the washing machine (see 5.1.1 or 5.1.2) and add sufficient ballast (see5.3) to make a total air-dry material load of the mass shown for the washing procedure selected. If dimensionalstability is being determined, not more than half of the wash load shall consist of test specimens. Add sufficientdetergent ( 4.1.1 to 4.1.4, as appropriate) to provide a good running suds having a height of not more than(3 � 0,5) cm at the end of the washing cycle.
Before placing the test load to be washed in type B washers, fill the machine with water at the selectedtemperature, add (66 � 1) g 1993 AATCC Standard Reference Detergent or the appropriate amount of IEC or ECEdetergent, to provide good running suds having a height of not more than (3 � 0,5) cm at the end of the washingcycle.
7.4 After the hydroextraction of the washing procedure has been completed, remove the material, taking carethat it is neither stretched nor distorted, and dry it by one of the drying procedures described in clause 8.
7.5 If the material is to be drip dried, stop the machine just before the final hydroextraction and remove thematerial, taking care that it is neither stretched nor distorted.
8 Drying procedure
8.1 Procedure A — Line dry
Suspend the hydroextracted material from a line to dry according to the procedure specified in 8.2.
8.2 Procedure B — Drip dry
Remove the material from the machine and, without extracting the water, suspend it from a line in still air at roomtemperature and allow to dry.
The warp or wale direction of the material shall be vertical. Made-up articles shall be suspended in the direction ofuse.
8.3 Procedure C — Flat dry
Spread out the material on a horizontal screen drying rack (see 5.6), remove the wrinkles by hand withoutstretching or distorting, and allow it to dry.
6
www.bzfxw.com
8.4 Procedure D — Flat press
Place the material on the flat bed of the press (see 5.4). Smooth out heavy wrinkles by hand and lower the head ofthe press, which shall be set at a temperature suitable for the material to be pressed, for one or more short periodsas required to dry the material. Record the temperature and pressure used.
8.5 Procedure E — Tumble dry
NOTE This procedure is not intended to be used for evaluating articles containing temperature sensitive fibres. Research ison-going to establish the appropriate criteria for these fabrics.
At the end of the selected washing and hydroextraction process, immediately place the material and the ballast inthe tumble dryer (see 5.2). Tumble dry the load as follows.
If measuring the fabric temperature during tumble drying is required, plastic ribbons (thermolabels) that indicate thetemperature, shall be affixed to the fabric. These thermolabels shall be capable of measuring in the temperaturerange (40 to 90) °C.
To determine the optimum heat setting, tumble dry the load at the normal (high) heat setting for the calculated testcycle time as determined by the method described in annex F. At the end of the calculated test cycle time the finalmoisture shall be equivalent to the moisture content of the conditioned textile (0 % at 20 °C and 65 % relativehumidity).
If a weighing device is used, place the tumble dryer on the platform of the weighing device and determine the massof the dryer. Place the weighed specimens or garments including ballast in the dryer and switch on the dryer.Continue drying until the mass does not change and then switch off the heat and allow to run without heat for atleast 5 min. After this time, measure the mass of the relaxed specimens or garments.
Determine the dimensions of the materials and then proceed to further dry the load until the final moisture shall beeither � 2 % for synthetics or � 5 % for cellulosics.
Dry to constant mass.
For machines specified in 5.2.2, ensure that the temperature of the exhaust from the drum is set at a temperaturenot exceeding 70 °C for normal fabrics and 50 °C for permanent press or delicate fabrics. Operate the dryer untilthe load is dry, and continue tumbling for 5 min with the heat turned off. Remove the material immediately.
9 Test report
The test report shall contain the following information:
a) reference to this International Standard, i.e. ISO 6330;
b) the type of machine and washing procedure used;
c) the drying procedure used and the type of machine if applicable;
d) the type of detergent used;
e) total dry mass of the specimens and ballast;
f) details of any deviation from the specified procedures.
g) the ballast used.
NOTE Precision and bias for methods associated with this procedure are being established and will be described in theappropriate International Standards.

Detergents — Additional requirements
E.1 Distribution and mixing
The reference detergents 2, 3 and 4 are distributed in three separate parts:
1) detergent base powder;
2) sodium perborate tetrahydrate;
3) bleach activator tetraacetylethylenediamine.
They shall be mixed prior to use in accordance with the following procedure.
For reasons of consistency it is desirable to predissolve the three separate parts in the proportions of:
� 77 parts detergent base powder;
� 20 parts sodium perborate;
� 3 parts bleach activator.
Dissolve the base powder and sodium perborate in tap water complying with specifications given in 4.2 at approximately 40 °C. Cool this solution to approximately 30 °C and add the bleach activator before adding the final solution to the machine (see 7.3).
E.2 Effect of enzymes (applicable to detergents 2 and 3 only)
If it is desirable to evaluate the effects of enzymes, the optional addition of the following enzymes to detergents 2 and 3 can be made with a corresponding reduction in the detergent powder.
Protease Savinase 12T 0,5 %
Lipase Lipolase 100T 0,1 %
Amylase Termamyl 60T 0,3 %
Cellulase Celluzyme 0,7T 0,3 %
All these enzymes are available from Novozymes A/S1).
Annex F (former Annex C) follows on the new page 15.
1) These enzymes are examples of suitable products available commercially. This information is given for the convenience of users of this international Standard and does not constitute an endorsement by ISO of these products.

Annex F(normative)
Tumble drying — Determination of drying capacity
F.1 Method of estimating cycle time
F.1.1 Use a load composed entirely of 100 % ballast (see 5.3) and determine the conditioned mass of the load.
F.1.2 Wash the load as specified in clause 7. After spinning, weigh the load (initial mass).
F.1.3 Set the dryer (5.2) to a time in excess of 80 min and let it run. After 30 min (or 60 min if preferred) stop themachine, remove the load and weigh. Calculate the amount of moisture evaporated and from this, the "drying rate",a, which is the amount of evaporated moisture divided by the drying time.
F.1.4 Re-wet the load by filling the machine to the same level as was used in 7.1 and then advance theprogramme to the last hydroextraction. At the end of the hydroextraction, weigh the load. From this mass and thedrying rate, a, calculate the preliminary cycle time which is the moisture content divided by the drying rate.
F.1.5 Re-load the dryer and set to a time safely in excess of the preliminary cycle time and let it run.
F.1.6 Immediately after the preliminary cycle time stop the dryer, remove the load and weigh. Calculate theamount of evaporated moisture. From this and the preliminary cycle time, calculate the "drying rate", b, which is themoisture evaporated divided by the cycle time.
F.1.7 Perform test cycles at a time setting determined from the final estimated test cycle time given by thefollowing equation:
Final estimated test cycle time =� �
� �
initial mass conditioned mass
Drying rate b
�
� 60 � cool-down time
The following example illustrates the method of calculating the final estimated test cycle time:
The conditioned mass of the load = 4,0 kg
The initial mass of the load (F.1.2) = 7,5 kg
Moisture retained = 3,5 kg
If after 30 min, moisture evaporated = 1,3 kg (measured)
or if after 60 min, moisture evaporated = 2,6 kg (measured)
Then, drying rate (a) = 2,6 kg/h
and, therefore, preliminary cycle time =3,52,6
= 1,35 h (i.e. 81 min)
If, after 81 min, moisture evaporated = 3,34 kg (measured)
Then, drying rate (b) =3,341,35
= 2,47 kg/h
Final estimated test cycle time =� �
Moisture retainedDrying rate b
� 60 � 5 min cool-down
i.e., in this case� �3,5 60
2,47
�
� 5 = 90 min
15
www.bzfxw.com
As can be seen from the example above, using drying rate a for the final estimated test cycle times would lead toan under-estimate of 5 %, hence the need for the second run to compensate for the falling rate period. It issuggested that if ambient temperature and relative humidity conditions are reasonably consistent, drying rate bneed only be determined once, but if they are variable, the drying rate should be determined for the new conditions.
Cycle time estimated in this way will be within 2 % of the true time as measured using an accurate scale. This levelof precision is adequate given the arbitrary nature of the over-dry factors when drying different fibre types in thesame load.
F.2 Creasing
For some textiles tumble drying can be beneficial in removing creases set in by the washing process.
F.3 Repeat testing
The machine shall be cooled to ambient temperature between tests. This can be done by repeating the cool-downstage.
F.4 End point
For all textiles this should be between 0 and � 3 % of the conditioned mass:
Mass of load after total cycle timeEnd point = 1 100 %
Conditioned mass
