AATCC Test Method 104 is used to determine the colorfastness to water spotting. It is
applicable to dyed, printed or other colored fabric and to the testing of dyestuffs as applied to
textiles. This test method is intended for evaluating the resistance of the shade change of textile
of all kinds by water spotting. These tests are very important from quality control aspect. As
customers demand the specific fastness and one should meet the requirements of customers.

1. Introduction
1.1. Background:
1.2. Objective:
1.3. Theory:
To check shade change in colored textile sample by water AATCC established a test method
namely AATCC-104 using Gray Scale for staining. The test specimen is spotted with
distilled or de-ionized water and evaluation is made of change of color, after wetting and
after drying.
Test tube
Distilled water
Pipette
Dyed Textile Cloth
Gray Scale for Staining
3. Procedure:
4
i. A dyed specimen was taken.
ii. Distilled water was dropped through pipette on specimen.
iii. After drying the dyed specimen, shade change from that portion was checked using
grey scale for color change.
4. Results:
5. Discussion:
The rating was 5 showing that no staining was produced on fabric due to water.
6. Conclusion:
The rating 5 showed that no staining was produced. It showed that the dye used was of good
quality and compatibility with the fabric resulted in very little or no loss of strength in the
shade of specimen.
