TM88B, 88C, 124, 130, 135, 142, 143, 150, 159, 172, 179, & 188

Due to the recent US Department of Energy washer efficiency rule changes, AATCC Research Committee RA88, Home Laundering Technology, has recently updated the Standardization of Home Laundry Test Conditions Monograph. These changes incorporate new washing parameters for the top loading (traditional vertical axis) washing machines and, for the first time, washing parameters for the front loading (horizontal axis) high efficiency washing machines.  This monograph is posted on the AATCC website as a courtesy to aid testing laboratories ahead of its official publication date of January 2011, in the 2011 AATCC Technical Manual.
