GLOW-WIRE TEST
The test procedure is used to examine the fire resisting properties of products if, during the application or in the case of a fault, heated or glowing parts could be considered as a short-time ignition source. Loose connections or bad contacts cause punctually high temperatures on electrical articl...

What are the Factors that affect color fastness?
Color fastness is a term used in the textile industry to describe the resistance of a fabric against color fading or color transfer. We can check the color fastness of a fabric by running a test. The test methods that we usually use for Crocking/Rubbing are called BS EN ISO 105 X12 and AATCC 8. That...
