15、est Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.5. Significance and Use5.1 Fabrics intended for this end-use should meet all of therequirements listed inTable 1 .5.2 It should be recognized that fabrics can be producedwith an almost infinite number of combination of constructionvariables (for example
16、, type of fibers, percentage of fibers, yarntwist, yarn number, warp and pick count, chemical andmechanical finishes). Additionally, fashion or aesthetics dictatethat the ultimate consumer may find acceptable articles madefrom fabrics that do not conform to all of the requirements inTable 1.5.2.1 He
17、nce, no single performance specification can possi-bly apply to all the various fabrics that could be utilized for thisend-use.5.3 The uses and significance of particular properties andtest methods are discussed in the appropriate sections of thespecified test methods.6. Test Methods (see Note 1)6.1

21、 drying procedure shall beas specified by the supplier.6.5.2 Drycleaning Determine the maximum-dimensionalchange after three dry cleanings as directed in 10.1.1 through10.1.5 of Test Methods D 2724 or as agreed upon between thepurchaser and the supplier (Note 3).NOTE 3Launderable fabrics are expecte
22、d to be dry-cleanable exceptwhere all or part of the fabric is not dry-cleanable and is so labeled. Forexample, the fabric could contain a functional finish that is soluble in thesolvent, or the fiber could be degraded by the solvent, as would be the casewith poly(vinyl chloride) fiber. “Dry-cleanab
23、le” goods are to be dry-cleaned only.6.6 Colorfastness:6.6.1 Burnt Gas Fumes Determine the colorfastness toburnt gas fumes on the original fabric and after one launderingor one dry cleaning as directed inAATCC Test Method 23 after1 cycle.NOTE 4Washing conditions shall be the same as those used in 6.
