abstract = {Instrumental methods for assessing colour fastness of textile products have been standardized by
organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Japanese Industrial
Standards (JIS). In addition to these, a few methods have been proposed. Despite the existence of these
methods, fastness assessments are still being carried out in many places through visual inspection. In
a laboratory, experienced inspectors share a common understanding about degree of fastness; however,
there are variations between laboratories across different countries and between experienced workers and
trainees. Therefore, in order to encourage the use of the instrumental method, four methods were re-
evaluated. In the experiment, a set of fabric samples were instrumentally evaluated using four different
methods and the samples were also visually assessed by professional inspectors in a textile testing centre
in Japan. Then, the results of the instrumental methods were evaluated by comparing with the visual
results. A method proposed by Gui and Luo et al was considered to be the best model in terms of the
agreement with the visual results and also this method was less influenced by the difference of colour
measurement methods.},
