ISO Involvement

AATCC members and staff work closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). AATCC and ASTM International-Committee D13 Textiles are co-administrators of the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) representing the US in all TC38—Textile activities.

For more than 60 years, AATCC was the co-secretariat for ISO/TC38/SC1—Textiles—Tests for Coloured Textiles and Colourants and secretary for ISO/TC38/SC2—Textiles—Cleansing, finishing and water resistance tests. In 2010, AATCC transitioned these secretariats to other countries in order to focus on its own test methods and activities.
