“…The testing method described in this study, which was investigated especially to overcome the difficulties associated with light fastness assessment of photochromic fabrics, may have the potential to establish a replacement for the conventional method, which uses blue wool references and human observation, with a more accurate and reliable instrumental method. The performance of blue wool references and their fading rates have been examined since the 1950s ; however, there have been no reports about using the results of investigating the fading rates of references in assessment of the light fastness of textiles.…”

A new method for evaluating the light fastness of photochromic fabrics was established, aimed at replacing the conventional method with an instrumental method. This method was based on comparing the colour difference of photochromic fabrics after light exposure with measured values of the colour differences of the blue wool references after fixed periods of light exposure. This method benefits from replacing the traditional visual evaluation of colour difference between exposed and unexposed areas of textile samples with a more accurate, instrument‐based measurement of the colour difference. The light fastness is then evaluated by comparing the colour difference with tabulated values of colour differences brought about by light exposure, for increased periods of time, of standard blue wool references. This method could be used for measuring light fastness of both traditional and photochromic fabrics. However, blue wool references and tested samples should be exposed to light under similar conditions when using this method to measure colour fastness to light of fabrics.

The relation between the fading of the British dyed‐wool light‐fastness standards in the U.K. and the amount of solar radiation required to produce the fading has been investigated. It has been shown that the successive standards require exposures to quantities of solar radiation which increase, in general, by a factor of two, but there is a considerable range of energy values for any one standard, this range being great enough to permit some overlapping. It is suggested that this may be because the Eppley pyrhelio‐meter records all radiant solar energy, whereas only a fraction, which may be variable, is operative in the fading of the standards.
