BS EN ISO 15797:2018 specifies test procedures and equipment which can be used in the evaluation of
workwear (including, where appropriate, for some PPE garments) intended to be industrially
laundered. They serve as a basis for testing relevant properties such as dimensional stability, colour
characteristics, creasing, seam puckering, pilling and visual aspects in general.
This document does not provide instructions and specifications for the procedures and equipment to
be used by industrial launderers.
As it is often not practical to reproduce industrial laundry processes (washing and drying/finishing) in
a laboratory setting, this document provides an approach using defined intermediate scale equipment
and exacting test procedures which can be used for the evaluation of workwear intended to be
laundered industrially.
As this document reflects a simulation of real-life industrial laundry conditions, in some cases, testing
of the workwear in the actual industrial laundering equipment and processes intended to be used is
advisable when finally determining product and process compatibility.
It is not necessary to test using all eight washing procedures nor both drying procedures. A selection is
made of the washing and drying procedure(s) that are best suited to the characteristics of the fabric or
fabric composition and the intended use.
