BS EN ISO 105-B05:1996 is a European standard titled "Textiles - Tests for color fastness - Part B05: Colour fastness to weathering - Xenon arc fading lamp test." It is part of the ISO 105 series of standards that deals with various aspects of color fastness testing for textiles.
Specifically, BS EN ISO 105-B05:1996 outlines the method for determining the color fastness of textiles when exposed to the simulated weathering conditions provided by a xenon arc fading lamp. This test is designed to assess how well a textile material retains its color when exposed to outdoor conditions and sunlight over an extended period.
The standard specifies the test conditions, sample preparation, and evaluation methods to determine color changes and colorfastness ratings. It helps manufacturers, quality control personnel, and other stakeholders in the textile industry to assess the durability and longevity of colored textiles under simulated outdoor exposure.
Please note that since my knowledge has a cutoff date of September 2021, there may have been updates or revisions to this standard after that time. Therefore, I recommend checking with the official standards organization or relevant authorities for the most current and up-to-date version of the standard.
