4.1 Suitable mechanical device, consisting of a
water bath containing a rotatable shaft which s u p
ports, radially, glass or stainless steel containers
(75 mrn f 5 mm in diameter x 125 mm f 10 mm
high) of approximately 550 ml f 50 ml capacity, the
bottom of the containers being 45 mm f 10 mm
from the centre of the shaft. The shaftfcontainer as-
sembly is rotated at a frequency of
40 min-' 2 min-'. The temperature of the water
bath is thermostaticaliy controlled to maintain the test
solution at the prescribed temperature f 2 OC.
NOTE 1 Other mechanical devices may be used for the
test provided that equivalent results are obtained.
4.2 Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCI), aqueous sol-
ution having the following composition:
- active chlorine: 40 g/l to 160 g/l;
- sodium chloride (NaCl): 120 s/i to 170 gA;
- sodium hydroxide (NaOH): 20 g/l maximum;
- sodium carbonate (Na,CO,): 20 s/i maximum;

- iron (Fe): 0,Ol g/i maximum.
All sodium hypochlorite solutions should be prepared
just prior to use.
4.3 Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCI), aqueous sol-
ution containing 100 mg of active chlorine per litre, at
pH = 7,50f 0,05.
All sodium hypochlorite solutions should be prepared
just prior to use. Prepare solutions as follows, using
grade 3 water:
Solution 1: Dilute 20,O ml sodium hypochlorite
solution (4.2) to 1 litre.
Solution 2: 14.35 g KH2P04(4.6)
per litre.
Solution 3: 20,05g Na2HP04.2H20(4.7)per litre,
or 40,35g Na,HP04.12H20 (4.7)per litre.
To 25,O ml of solution 1 add excess potassium iodide
(KI) and hydrochloric acid (HCI), and titrate the liber-
ated iodine with a sodium thiosulfate solution,
c(Na,S20,) = 0,l mol/l, using starch as indicator.
Let the volume of sodium thiosulfate solution required
be V ml.
For each litre of working solution at pH 7,50 f 0,05,
use:
705*0mi solution 1
V 5.3 If the textile to be tested is loose fibre, comb
100.0 ml solution 2
500.0 ml solution 3
Dilute to 1 litre.
Before use, check the pH of the solution using the
calibrated pH-meter (4.8).
If necessary, adjust the pH using either sodium hy-
droxide, c(Na0H) = 0,l mol/l, or acetic acid,
c(CH,COOH) =0,1 mol/l.
4.4 Sodium hypochlorite, (NaOCI) aqueous soi-
ution containing 50 mg of active chlorine per litre, at
pH = 7,50f 0,05.
Follow the same procedure as in 4.3,except that for
each litre of working solution at pH 7,50f 0.05 use
70510 mi of solution I.

5 Test specimen
5.1 If the textile to be tested is fabric, use a speci-
men 40 mm x 100mm.
5.2 If the textile to be tested is yarn, knit it into
fabric and use a specimen 40 mm x 100 mm, or
make a wick of parallel lengths, 100 mm long and
about 5 mm in diameter, tied near both ends.
and compress enough of it to form a sheet 40 mm >
100 mm. Determine the mass of the fibre and sew i
on to a piece of polyester or polypropylene cloth to
support the fibre. The liquor ratio (see 6.1) shall be
based on the mass of fibre only.
6 Procedure
6.1 Each specimen shall be tested in a separate
container in the mechanical device (4.11. Immerse the
specimen in the sodium hypochlorite solution (4.3, 4.4
or 4.51,liquor ratio 100:1, ensuring that the specimen
is thorougly wetted. Close the container and agitate
at 27 "C f 2 "C for 1 h in darkness.
6.2 Remove the specimen from the container,
squeeze or hydroextract it, and dry it by hanging it in
air at room temperature in subdued light.
6.3 Assess the change in colour of the specimen
by comparison with the grey scale.
