<p><b>1.1 </b>This International Standard specifies domestic washing and drying procedures for textile testing. The</p>
<p>procedures are applicable to textile fabrics, garments or other textile articles which are subjected to appropriate</p>
<p>combinations of domestic washing and drying procedures. This International Standard also specifies the</p>
<p>reference detergents and ballasts for the procedures.</p>
<p><b>1.2 </b>Provision is made for</p>
<p>a) 13 different washing procedures based on the use of the reference washing machine Type A: horizontal</p>
<p>axis, front-loading type,</p>
<p>b) 11 procedures based on the use of the reference washing machine Type B: vertical axis, top-loading</p>

<p><b>1.3 </b>Each washing procedure represents a single domestic wash.</p>
<p><b>1.4 </b>This International Standard also specifies six drying procedures:</p>
