BS EN ISO 105-Z02:1996 is a British Standard (BS) that specifies a test method for determining the color fastness of textiles to artificial light sources. The full title of the standard is "Textiles - Tests for colour fastness - Part Z02: Colour fastness to artificial light: Xenon arc fading lamp test," and it is based on the international standard ISO 105-Z02.
This standard outlines a procedure for subjecting textile samples to artificial light from a xenon arc fading lamp, which simulates the effects of natural sunlight. The test helps assess the color fastness of textiles, which is the resistance of a textile material's color to fading or changing when exposed to various environmental factors, including light.
The BS EN ISO 105-Z02:1996 standard provides guidelines for performing the test, including preparation of the samples, exposure conditions, evaluation of color changes, and reporting of results. This type of testing is important for determining the durability and longevity of textile products, especially those intended for outdoor or prolonged exposure to light.
It's worth noting that standards can be revised or updated over time, so it's a good practice to ensure you have the most current version of the standard if you are conducting tests or referring to specific requirements.
