The fastness characteristics of textile and other materials are an important property. The Society has long been engaged in helping to develop standard methods of fastness testing. This paper is a brief account of developments in recent years leading to instrumental methods for assessing the fastness of textile materials. In all cases, the basic method of test is unchanged. The instrumental method is simply an alternative to the visual method for assessing the degree of contrast between the specimen and a specimen of the original material after the normal test.
