AATCC 135 Fabric Shrinkage Standards

Before conducting any shrinkage tests, samples should be conditioned for a minimum of 4 hours at 65% relative humidity and 24-27°C. The document then provides the test method procedures for determining shrinkage in woven fabrics and cotton hosiery. Standards are also given for acceptable shrinkage levels in sanforized labeled woven and knit fabrics, with woven fabrics allowed to shrink or gain no more than 1% and knit fabrics up to 5% when subjected to specified wash tests.

SHRINKAGE STANDARDS FOR WOVEN AND KNIT FABRICS

Standards for Shrinkage of Sanforized Labeled Woven Fabrics


Woven fabrics shall not either shrink or gain in excess of 1% in either the warpwise or the
weftwise direction when subjected to the wash-test method of the United States Federal
specification number CCC-T-191A or ISO 6330. With Tumbledrier and on making ups the
dimensional change can be 1.5% higher.

Standards for Shrinkage of Sanfor-Knit Labeled Knit Fabrics


Knit fabrics shall not either shrink or gain in excess of 5% in either the longitudinal or the
cross direction when subjected to the wash-test AATCC 135-1987 or ISO 6330 (60 degree
Celsius, tumble dry).

The labels SANFOR PLUS (with resin finishing), SANFOR PLUS 2 (blended fabrics with resin
finishing, and SANFOR SET (liquid ammonia treatment) are not much in use. Details on
request.
