23、 for sitting purposes including areas on the outsides and backs of the seat or upholstered furniture 3.6 automotive interior compartment in an automotive vehicle comprising at least seats, dashboard, panels, and centre console BS EN 16223:2012EN 16223:2012 (E) 6 3.7 automotive interior component ind
24、ividual element of the automotive interior including seats, dashboard, panels, steering wheel, gear knob, headlining and console or any other relevant element of the vehicle interior 4 General principles 4.1 The guiding principle is that the term “Leather” should only be used if the upholstered furn
25、iture or automotive interior or interior component (or a relevant part of it) is made of leather or covered with leather, and where the essential nature, appearance and performance of the upholstered furniture or automotive interior or automotive interior component is characterised by being made of
26、leather. The description of the material should not materially mislead the consumer or user. 4.2 This document gives the general guidelines that should apply in the designation and description of upholstered furniture and automotive seating and interiors when reference is made to leather as a consti
27、tuent material. 5 Requirements 5.1 Where the term “Leather” is used as a descriptor, at least 80 % of the expected surface area (or volume, as appropriate) of the component being described should be leather. NOTE In the case of steering wheels, the expected surface area to be considered is limited t
28、o the ring. 5.2 Where the term “Full Leather” is used as a descriptor, all of the expected surface area (or volume, as appropriate) of the component being described should be leather. 5.3 Where the type of leather is designated for example “full grain leather” or “nappa leather” the description shou
29、ld be accurate and in line with EN 15987. 5.4 Where only the “contact areas” are leather then the seat or upholstered furniture shall not be described as “leather” unless the description “leather seat with non leather areas (e.g. outside arms and back)” is used. 5.5 A seat or upholstered furniture,
30、may only be described as “leather” if both the “contact areas” and the “non contact areas” of the upholstered parts are leather (excluding buttons, piping etc. that are purely decorative in nature). 5.6 Steering wheels, gear knobs, panels and upholstered non-contact areas of seats in car interiors o
31、r of upholstered furniture can be made of split leather and still comply with the requirements for using “Leather” as a descriptor. 5.7 The designations “Leather Interior” or “Full Leather Interior” in an automobile shall be used where at least for seats, dashboard, panels and centre console (includ
32、ing gear shift skirt) meet the requirements of 5.1 to 5.6. Non-visible areas that are not covered with leather because they are intended to achieve a special function (e.g. anti-stick slip) shall not be considered for the calculation of the expected area. Also the use of special non-synthetic materi
33、als such as wood or metal for the steering wheel and the gear knob shall not be considered for the calculation of the expected area. 5.8 The designation “Leather Seats” in an automobile shall only be used for the whole seat, comprising both contact areas and non-contact areas. The back part of rear
34、seats shall not be considered for the calculation of the expected area. 5.9 The designation “Leather faced seats” shall only be used for the contact areas of the seat. 5.10 An automotive interior component - other than the seats - may only be described as “leather” if the upholstered parts are leath
35、er (ignoring buttons, piping, etc. that are purely decorative in nature). BS EN 16223:2012EN 16223:2012 (E) 7 6 Miscellaneous: communication on designation and description 6.1 Other names or adjectives may be used in conjunction with the word leather, but the material shall always comply with the de
36、finition of “leather“ and should comply with the requirements specified above. 6.2 Individual components of the vehicle interior may be designated as leather for example “leather steering wheel” provided that the statement is accurate, according to the general principles outlined above. 6.3 The desi
37、gnation “Leather” should not be used, without qualification, if leather constitutes less than 80 % of the surface area of the seat or upholstered furniture or automotive interior or automotive interior component described. Otherwise it should be designated by indicating the nature of the complementa
38、ry material used for example in the case of fabric as “leather and fabric seats”. If the alternative material comprises a greater part than leather of the surface area, the appropriate designation would be for example in the case of fabric - “Fabric and leather seats”.
