It supersedes BS 5815-1:1989, which is withdrawn. Under the generic title Sh
8、eets, sheeting, pillowslips, towels, napkins, counterpanes and continental quilt secondary covers suitable for use in the public sector, BS 5815 is published in three parts as follows: Part 1: Specification for sheeting, sheets and pillowslips Part 2: Specification for towels and napkins Part 3: Spe
9、cification for counterpanes and continental quilt secondary covers including flammability performance The format used is that the standard first defines the fabrics and then the articles made from each fabric. For clarity and ease of communication, each fabric has a reference comprising two letters,
10、 followed by a number to indicate the width option. This standard covers only the basic description of the products and their construction and performance requirements. Purchasing authorities therefore may need to specify additional information. This Part covers sheeting, sheets and pillowslips but
11、can also be used to specify the fabrics from which they are manufactured. Many properties cannot be specified objectively and are therefore not included in this standard, e.g. colour, handling qualities and details of additional design features. Public sector purchasing authorities may be able to su
12、pply standard patterns that cover these properties and serve to resolve any ambiguities of description. This Part of BS 5815 does not include a requirement for electrostatic properties. Some of the articles therefore may not be suitable for use in some locations in healthcare premises. Attention is
13、drawn to Department of Health requirements precluding the use of static-prone textiles in operating theatres. Equally the standard does not cover requirements for physiological comfort and again there may be some medical situations where not all of the products are equally suitable. Compliance with
14、a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i to ii, pages 1 to 5 and a back cover.

15、 5815-1:2005 BSI 20 June 2005 1 1 Scope This Part of BS 5815 specifies requirements for the materials, manufacture, make-up and testing of sheeting, sheets and pillowslips for use in the public sector. The dimensions of these articles are also specified. Particular requirements for sheets and pillow
16、slips for rail transport are included in Clause 6 of this standard. Information to be supplied by the purchaser is given in Annex A. NOTE The standard does not apply to resinated sheets. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Table 6 Dimensions of pillowslips 6 Particular requirements for sheets and pillowslips for rail transport NOTE Sheets and pillowslips purchased for use in sleeper trains differ somewhat from the articles described elsewhere in this st
45、andard because of a decision to use 100 % flame-retardant cotton. To provide acceptable handling qualities and laundry processing performance after such treatment, it is necessary to reduce the construction and physical performance specifications. This leads to a reduced though still acceptable use-
46、life with good flame retardancy and acceptable handling qualities. 6.1 General In addition to the other requirements of this Part of BS 5815, sheets and pillowslips for use in rail transport shall conform to 6.2 and 6.3. 6.2 Construction and performance The finished, flame-retardant treated fabric s
47、hall conform to the requirements for ST cotton fabric as given in Table 2 and Table 3, except for the following modifications: 6.3 Finished dimensions The finished dimensions of the sheets shall conform to the requirements for SH5 as specified in Table 5.
