14 International Standards
Complies with IEC 60456, IEC 456, ISO 5077, ISO 6330, M&S P1/P1A/P3A/P12/P91/P99/P99A/P134, and BS EN 25077/26330 for comprehensive wash test coverage.
The Wascator FOM 71 CLS – Auto – IEC60456 is used for standardized wash-fastness and dimensional change testing of textiles and fabrics. It simulates domestic washing conditions under controlled, reproducible parameters in compliance with international test standards including IEC 60456, ISO 6330, and BS EN 26330.
The Wascator FOM 71 CLS can store up to 999 washing and drying programs. Programs are designed as required via keyboard input, stored in memory, and recalled instantly for repeatable test conditions. This makes it highly flexible for laboratories running multiple test protocols simultaneously.
Yes. The Wascator FOM 71 CLS is pre-programmed as standard with BS, ISO, and IWS test programs, allowing laboratories to begin compliant testing immediately without manual program entry. Additional custom programs can also be created and stored alongside these pre-loaded standards.
The Wascator FOM 71 CLS operates on 230V or 415V supply at 50/60Hz with a power consumption of 6.0 kW. The dual-voltage compatibility (230/415V) makes it suitable for different regional electrical standards, covering both single-phase and three-phase installations.
The Wascator FOM 71 CLS complies with 14 standards: IEC 60456, IEC 456, ISO 5077, ISO 6330, M&S P1, P1A, P3A, P12, P91, P99, P99A, P134, BS EN 25077, and BS EN 26330. This broad compliance makes it the preferred machine for textile testing laboratories working to Marks & Spencer, British Standards, and ISO requirements.
Yes. The Wascator FOM 71 CLS is equipped with an automatic soap dispenser that handles detergent dosing for multiple washing cycles without manual intervention. This ensures precise and consistent detergent concentration in every wash cycle, which is critical for accurate and reproducible wash-fastness test results.
The Wascator FOM 71 CLS has dimensions of 760 × 800 × 1600 mm (L × W × H) and weighs between 265 and 285 kg depending on configuration. Its compact footprint relative to its capacity makes it suitable for standard laboratory spaces, though adequate floor reinforcement is recommended due to its substantial weight.
Yes. The Wascator FOM 71 CLS fully supports ISO 6330 (domestic washing and drying procedures for textile testing) as well as ISO 5077 (dimensional change determination). It is also compliant with IEC 60456-Ed5 closed card specifications, making it ideal for laboratories requiring simultaneous compliance with multiple international washing standards.
