ISO 3175 Cleaning durability of sensor integrated garments
The ISO 3175 standard is specifically designed to evaluate the cleaning durability of sensor-integrated textiles. This service ensures that the performance and integrity of smart textiles are maintained even after multiple washing cycles, which is crucial for maintaining their functionality in real-world conditions.
Smart textiles incorporate various sensors and electronic components into their fabric structure. These garments can monitor physiological parameters such as heart rate, body temperature, and stress levels. However, the integration of these electronics poses unique challenges during cleaning. The ISO 3175 standard addresses these concerns by providing a standardized approach to test and ensure that sensor-integrated textiles retain their performance characteristics after multiple washings.
The testing process involves several key steps. First, samples of the textile are prepared according to specified dimensions and conditions. Then, they undergo a series of washing cycles using standard detergents and water temperatures. After each cycle, the electrical resistance between the sensor electrodes is measured to assess changes in performance.
The acceptance criteria for this test are based on predefined thresholds that indicate acceptable levels of change in electrical resistance after multiple washings. Compliance with these standards ensures that the textiles continue to function correctly and reliably over time, even under repeated cleaning conditions.
