Scope:

Dinnerware is washed after every meal with soaps and detergents. This can lead to the deterioration of overglaze decoration. It is crucial to determine how resistant these overglaze decorations are for quality control and design. This ASTM C556 standard is mainly used to evaluate overglaze decorations of dinnerware for domestic use, wherein household soaps and detergents are used for cleaning the soiled ware by either hand or machine. This test method indicates the service life of ceramic dinnerware, which are washed with soap and detergents

Test Procedure:

In ASTM C556, the test specimens are exposed to household detergents repeatedly until deterioration.

Video 01: Dish washing test

Specimen size:

Five dinnerware whiteware ceramics are required.

Data:

This ASTM C556 standard reports the number of cycles it requires for detergents to significantly deteriorate the overglaze decoration of ceramic whiteware.

Conclusion:

This ASTM C556 standard is mainly used to evaluate overglaze decorations of dinnerware for domestic use, wherein household soaps and detergents are used for cleaning the soiled ware by either hand or machine.
