With the exception of seating with a seat and back made of one piece of fle

29、xible material (e.g. textile), attached at the upper and lower edges only, seat and back loading points shall be determined according to EN 1728. For seating with a seat and back made of one piece of flexible material (e.g. textile), attached at the upper and lower edges only, the loading point shal

30、l be the lowest point when a rolling cylinder (Clause 5) is placed in the seating. 5 Test equipment In derogation to EN 1728 and EN 1022, the loading position template for seating with seat and back made of one suspended or hanging piece of flexible material (e.g. textile) shall be a cylinder with a

31、 mass of (1 0,5) kg and a diameter of (70 10) mm. Axis of the cylinder shall be perpendicular to the median plane of the seat. Let the cylinder roll from the higher part of the top front of the flexible part. Where the cylinder stops the seat load shall be applied. NOTE A suitable length of the cyli
