Appearance quality After washing, the sample shall meet the requirements for appearance quality in GB/T 21295-2014, Table 13.
Note: According to GB/T 4841.3, the color darker than 1/12 standard staining depth of dye is dark, while that lighter than or equal to 1/12 is light.
a Only down fillers are assessed. In alkylphenol ethoxylates (APnEO), n=2~16.
b Qualified product index of wet rubbing color fastness of pile, sanded, flocking fabrics and dark fabrics is allowed to be reduced by half grade than that specified in this standard.
c Only the products that have crossed dark and light parts are assessed for the color fastness to cross-staining.
d For down garment with filling shell construction, only fabrics and linings that are not quilted together with down are assessed for the slippage; fabrics with decorative outer layer are not assessed. The seam performance is judged as unsatisfactory in case of any yarn slippage, fabric tearing and stitch breakage in the slippage test result.
