This test method determines the degree of color transferred from the back or face surface of colored rugs to vinyl tile. The wet testing in this method is a means of acceleration and has been found to correlate with both dry and wet in-service use. A rug specimen is wet out and placed between two pieces of tile and subjected to a weighted load for 24 h at room temperature. Color transferred to the tile is assessed by a comparison with the AATCC Chromatic Transference Scale or Gray Scale for Staining.
