ISO 23231:2008规定了一种加速程序的试验方法，用于测定织物的尺寸变化，然后将织物制成服装或其他最终用途物品，并在各种环境中洗涤。该程序使用具有可编程设置的设备，模拟多种家用或工业清洗操作以及织物制造中的湿加工操作。这种方法不太适用于厚重、机织紧密的织物，如牛仔布和具有防水整理的织物。本方法和设备不得用于制作护理标签。 虽然ISO 23231:2008旨在测量与ISO 5077中相同的尺寸特性，但其应用是作为生产环境中使用的加速试验。

ISO 23231:2008 specifies a test method for an accelerated procedure for determination of the dimensional change of fabrics which will then be made into garments or other end-use articles that will be laundered in a variety of settings. The procedure uses an apparatus with programmable settings that simulate multiple domestic or industrial laundering actions as well as wet processing operations in fabric manufacturing. This method is less suitable for heavy, tightly woven fabrics, such as denim, and fabrics with water-repellent finish. This method and the apparatus are not to be used to develop care labels. While ISO 23231:2008 is intended to measure the same dimensional property as in ISO 5077, its application is as an accelerated test for use in a production environment.
