| 1 |
Nylon/polyamide substrate |
Nylon grade (e.g., PA6, PA66, and PA56), pure or blended composition, fabric/yarn form, construction, areal density or yarn specification, and pretreatment |
| 2 |
Natural colorant/extract |
Biological source and source part, extraction method and conditions, extract yield, dosage basis, and, where feasible, marker-compound concentration, pigment purity, or UV-vis/HPLC/LC-MS fingerprint |
| 3 |
Dyeing and fixation process |
Dye concentration, pH, temperature, time, liquor ratio, mordant/biomordant type and dosage, auxiliary chemicals, and relevant pretreatment or process-intensification conditions |
| 4 |
Coloration, fastness, and functionality |
K/S measurement conditions and CIELAB data should be reported together with the exact test standard and its edition/year. For greater harmonization, ISO 105-C06 is recommended as the reference method for washing fastness, ISO 105-X12 for rubbing fastness, ISO 105-B02 for light fastness, and ISO 105-E04 for perspiration fastness. AATCC TM100 is recommended for quantitative antibacterial assessment and AATCC TM183 for UPF measurement. Antioxidant and other functional assays for which a single textile-specific reference method is not consistently established should include the complete assay procedure, endpoint, and calculation method |
| 5 |
Experimental reliability |
Number of replicates, variability or error measures, statistical analysis where appropriate, controls/comparators, and sufficient raw process conditions to permit reproducibility |
| 6 |
Environmental performance |
For studies making cleaner or sustainability claims, relevant water and energy information, effluent pH/color, COD/BOD, residual metals, solvents, oxidants/reductants or other process-specific residues, toxicity, and dyebath reuse or recovery information should be reported where applicable |
