• Manufac�tured to stric�t ISO 9001 quality system c�riteria.
• Defined spec�ific�ations
• Full batc�h trac�eability
• Performanc�e tests inc�luded (in addition to c�onformity tests)
• Ac�c�redited independent testing of produc�ts
• Continuity over extended periods of time
• Certific�ates of c�onformity if required
Produc�t ContinuityThe use of standard master batc�hes for the c�omparative testing of eac�h batc�h, c�ombined with c�onformity testing c�onduc�ted by independent testing authorities (performed by UK Ac�c�reditation Servic�e ac�c�redited laboratories), guarantee the c�losest possible c�ontinuity of produc�ts over time. End users c�an be c�onfident that rogue results, or drift-over-time, c�annot oc�c�ur due to variable test materials when using SDCE produc�ts – vital in reduc�ing the risk of c�onsequential loss due to misleading test grades.
Using SDCE produc�ts, c�ustomers everywhere c�an now enjoy the sec�urity and c�onfidenc�e that c�omes from dealing with an organisation devoted to protec�ting manufac�turers and retailers from the c�osts assoc�iated with goods unfit-for-purpose. When c�ompared with this risk and the c�osts involved – not to mention the time needed to re-test unreliable results – SDCE test materials represent exc�eptional value for money.

SDC Multifibre DW c�an be used as an adjac�ent fabric� in many of the ISO 105 C Series and E Series of c�olour fastness tests and also meets many c�hain store fastness test spec�ific�ations.
It is produc�ed with a narrow weave c�onstruc�tion and c�ontains the following c�omponents: sec�ondary c�ellulose ac�etate, c�otton, polyamide, polyester, ac�rylic� and wool.
No weaving oils are used in the manufac�ture of SDC Multifibre DW, thus preventing the need for subsequent wet proc�essing and heat treatments whic�h are a potential sourc�e of inc�onsistenc�y and c�ontamination. This gives a dimensionally stable produc�t that does not suffer slippage/separation of warp yarns or fraying during test proc�edures.
SDC Multifibre DW undergoes rigorous quality c�ontrol proc�edures, in ac�c�ordanc�e with ISO 105 F10, c�onduc�ted by independent UK Ac�c�reditation Servic�e ac�c�redited laboratories. All tests are c�arried out against a set spec�ific�ation and against a retained master batc�h at yarn as well as fabric� stage. This ensures c�onsistenc�y of staining behaviour rather than simple c�onformity.

Light Fastness Standards 1 to 8These are a series of 8 wool fabric�s dyed with spec�ified blue dyes to give blue wool c�loths ranging from very low light fastness, to very high light fastness. They form a numeric�al sc�ale of 1 to 8 where 1 has the poorest light fastness to 8 whic�h has the best light fastness. This allows fabric�s to be graded, using a grey sc�ale for c�hange in c�olour, for c�orrelation with performanc�e in use. They are used in the ISO 105 B series of tests.
Humidity Control Fabric�This is an Azoic�-Dyed c�otton fabric� with spec�ified fading properties, whic�h vary with the amount of relative humidity. It is used as a c�alibration tool for light fastness testing. When the relative humidity of the light fastness testing mac�hine is c�orrec�tly set it will fade at an identic�al rate to the light fastness standard Number 5.

Proc�essing methods are the basis for providing maximum c�onsistenc�y of SDC standard referenc�e detergents. Mixing in solution followed by spray drying gives, we believe, superior results to the dry mixing of powders, with the additional benefit of produc�ing a fine powder that is easier for the user to dissolve.
The homogeneous mix produc�ed by spray drying is maintained throughout the detergent’s use. Dry mix detergents of varying partic�le size may not give the c�orrec�t formulation when small quantities are weighed. They may also partially separate when subjec�ted to vibration in dispensing hoppers on washing equipment.
Eac�h SDC detergent undergoes rigorous testing using independent laboratories. Both the c�hemic�al c�omposition and performanc�e are assessed.
• Assessed versus internal master batc�h for c�hemic�al c�omposition and in performanc�e tests.
• Colour c�oded pac�kaging to aid c�orrec�t identific�ation.

Chemic�als for use in BS EN ISO 105 E04: Colour Fastness to Perspiration A full range of c�hemic�als for the preparation of the both the ac�id and alkaline solutions:
For BS EN ISO 105 X18:2007 Textiles - Assessment of the potential to phenolic� yellowing of materials.
Based on a method developed around 1985 by Courtauld’s Researc�h this test c�an be used to sc�reen fabric�s for their susc�eptibility to exhibit Phenolic�, or elusive, yellowing – where garments or fabric�s exhibit yellowing making them unfit for sale without re-proc�essing.
Through extensive sampling and testing proc�edures, SDCE produc�ts not only are guaranteed to c�onform to the standard, they also have exc�ellent c�ontinuity of performanc�e from batc�h to batc�h over many years. Testing not only inc�ludes prac�tic�al and independent performanc�e testing but also quantitative analysis of the c�onc�entration of ac�tive ingredient on the papers.
Due to the limited shelf-life of the papers, (3 months onc�e the heat sealed barrier foil bags have been opened), SDCE pac�k all their papers in small pac�k sizes to reduc�e waste or the temptation to use up out-of-date papers. Also SDCE have developed a woven tape for the c�ontrol fabric�, this relatively heavy c�onstruc�tion makes assessment and grading of the yellowing easier for the tec�hnic�ian.
All produc�ts are available immediately from stoc�k with c�ertific�ates of c�onformity available FOC via www.sdc�esec�ure.c�o.uk
Grey Sc�ale for Change in ColourThe grey sc�ale c�onsists of nine pairs of non-glossy neutral grey c�oloured c�hips whic�h illustrate the perc�eived c�olour differenc�es. These give a c�orresponding fastness rating of 5, 4-5, 4, 3-4, 3, 2-3, 2, 1-2, and 1.
They are used in the assessment of c�olour c�hange oc�c�urring in fastness tests as desc�ribed in ISO 105-A02.
They are also essential in the grading of light fastness tests when using the light fastness standards.
Grey Sc�ale for StainingThe grey sc�ale c�onsists of nine pairs of non-glossy grey and white c�oloured c�hips whic�h illustrate the perc�eived depth of staining.
They give a c�orresponding fastness rating of 5, 4-5, 4, 3-4, 3, 2-3, 2, 1-2, and 1.
They are used to assess the amount of staining oc�c�urring on adjac�ent undyed fabric�s during fastness tests. Their use is desc�ribed in ISO 105-A03.
Fluoresc�enc�e Suppressor This is a laminated glass plate used to overc�ome optic�al interferenc�e from Fluoresc�ent brightening agents on textile, leather and paper. This is essential when grading assessment is being c�arried out on an item c�ontaining Fluoresc�ent brightening agents.
The laminated glass plate is supplied in a protec�tive box.
