Product Description
ECE Phosphate Reference Detergent (B) 2kg is a standardised laboratory detergent supplied by James Heal for controlled textile washing and colour-fastness testing. The formulation contains phosphate and is supplied without an optical brightening agent, helping laboratories use a defined reference detergent rather than a variable household laundry product.
The product is supplied under James Heal stock code 706-650 in a 2 kg plastic tub. James Heal identifies reference detergents as test materials for colour-fastness and shrinkage-related laboratory work, with products manufactured and performance-tested for use in specified European and international test methods.
This detergent is associated with ISO 105-C06 clause 4.4.2 and may also appear in buyer, retailer or laboratory procedures that specifically require ECE Formulation Phosphate Reference Detergent (B) without optical brightener. The required detergent concentration, liquor ratio, temperature, time, mechanical action and additional reagents depend on the exact test method.
The detergent must be used only according to the current standard, customer specification, laboratory SOP and supplied product label. It is a professional test material and is not intended for domestic laundry, personal use or general-purpose cleaning.

Product Overview
Reference detergents are controlled test materials used to create reproducible washing conditions in textile laboratories. Commercial detergents can vary in surfactants, builders, enzymes, fragrances, bleaching systems and optical brighteners, so they are generally unsuitable when a test method requires a specific reference formulation.
ECE Phosphate Reference Detergent (B) contains phosphate as part of the specified formulation and does not contain an optical brightening agent. The absence of optical brightener is important where fluorescence could influence visual colour assessment or instrumental measurements after washing.
During a typical laboratory procedure, a measured amount of detergent is dissolved in water and used with the test specimen, adjacent fabric, steel balls or other method-specified materials. Following washing, rinsing and drying, changes in specimen colour and staining of adjacent fabrics may be assessed using approved grey scales or suitable instrumental methods.
Exact preparation and use conditions are method-dependent. Laboratories should not apply a dosage or test cycle taken from another method without confirming that it is valid for the required standard, fibre type, customer specification and instrument configuration.

Textile Quality-Control Testing
Suitable for routine laboratory workflows in garment factories, textile mills, dyeing and finishing facilities, inspection organisations and buyer compliance laboratories when the approved procedure specifies this detergent.
Product Development and Laboratory Trials
Can support controlled comparison of dyes, prints, finishes, fibres and fabric constructions during textile research and product development. The same method conditions must be maintained when comparing samples.
Garment and Printed-Fabric Durability Evaluation
May be used in compatible controlled washing procedures for evaluating the effect of repeated or accelerated washing on garments and printed textiles, provided the selected method calls for ECE Phosphate Detergent (B).
Educational and Training Laboratories
Useful for supervised teaching of colour-fastness and laboratory washing principles in textile universities, institutes and training centres. Handling must follow the supplied safety data sheet and institutional safety rules.
Buyer and Retailer Test Methods
Some retailer or buyer specifications reference ECE (B) detergent. Laboratories should verify the current method number, detergent requirement and all auxiliary materials before starting a test.

Basic Test Procedure
The following is a general workflow only. The current test standard, buyer method, product label, instrument instructions and laboratory SOP must be followed.
- Confirm that ECE Phosphate Reference Detergent (B) is the detergent specified by the required method.
- Condition and prepare the textile specimen and adjacent fabric according to the method.
- Use clean, suitable water and prepare the required liquor volume.
- Weigh the method-specified amount of detergent using a calibrated balance.
- Dissolve or disperse the detergent completely before introducing the test specimen where required.
- Add steel balls, ballast, sodium perborate or other auxiliaries only when the selected procedure specifies them.
- Run the test at the required temperature, duration, liquor ratio and mechanical action.
- Rinse, extract and dry the specimen using the prescribed procedure.
- Condition the specimen and adjacent fabric before assessment when required.
- Evaluate colour change and staining using the current approved grey scales or instrumental method.
- Record detergent batch, preparation details, equipment, test conditions and results for traceability.
Recommended Equipment and Testing Conditions
James Heal reference detergents may be used with compatible washing and colour-fastness test equipment such as GyroWash, DynaWash and standardised washing machines when the instrument and method are appropriate. Equipment selection must be based on the exact test standard rather than the detergent alone.
The detergent concentration, solution volume, specimen-to-liquor ratio, test temperature, duration, number of steel balls, rinsing method and drying procedure can vary significantly. Follow the current edition of the required standard or buyer specification.
Water hardness and water quality can affect detergent performance and test results. Use the water quality stated in the procedure and document any required adjustments. Do not assume that ordinary tap water is acceptable for every method.
Storage and Shelf-Life
Store the product in the original container under cool, dry conditions. Keep the lid tightly closed to protect the powder from moisture, contamination and accidental spillage.
- Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.
- Store away from strong oxidising agents.
- Protect the powder from moisture and high humidity.
- Avoid creating airborne dust during weighing and transfer.
- Use clean, dry scoops or weighing tools.
- Do not return unused or contaminated powder to the original tub.
- Keep the product away from food, beverages and animal feed.
- Record the batch number, opening date and expiry date in the laboratory inventory.
- Do not use material that is wet, heavily caked, contaminated, incorrectly stored or past its expiry date.
For the exact shelf life, storage temperature range and batch-specific instructions, check the supplied James Heal label and certificate. Contact Inaya Scientific for confirmation before ordering if these details are required for accreditation or procurement.
Quality-Control Considerations
Reference detergent alone does not guarantee a valid test result. Laboratories must control detergent mass, water quality, specimen preparation, adjacent fabric, liquor ratio, temperature, time, mechanical action, rinsing, drying and assessment conditions.
Use calibrated balances, timers, thermometers and laboratory equipment. Confirm that grey scales, adjacent fabrics, steel balls and other materials are suitable for the selected procedure and within their applicable verification or expiry period.
Record the James Heal product code, lot number and expiry date with the test record where traceability is required. When changing detergent lots, laboratories may perform internal checks according to their quality system.
