Abstract

Classifies upholstery fabrics on the basis of wear characteristics. It sets out for each class of fabric performance requirements in respect of abrasion resistance, colourfastness, dimensional change and other appropriate physical characteristics.

Scope

This Standard specifies requirements for five grades of woven and knitted covering fabrics for use in fixed and removable upholstery for domestic and commercial use.

This Standard excludes plastic coated fabrics where the coating is the wear surface, leather, fabrics for transport applications, fabrics with a nominal pile length of 5 mm or more and tickings used for mattresses and bed bases.
