The American Association of Textile Chemist and Colorists works closely with other industry organizations to provide members with the most current information, user-friendly resources, and relevant services.
ASTM International’s Committee D13 develops test methods and specifications for textile materials. In general, AATCC methods and procedures focus on colorfastness, wet testing, and chemical properties. ASTM tests evaluate physical properties of textiles.
AATCC and ASTM have produced several joint publications.
- Info & Standards for UV Protective Textiles
- AATCC/ASTM Technical Supplement
- Moisture Management Technical Supplement
AATCC incorporates ASTM methods in most of its Test Method Training programs. You can also purchase the Textiles volumes (7.01 & 7.02) of the Annual Book of ASTM Standards from AATCC.
