DIN EN 15586:2008-09 EN 15586:2008 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard describes a method for the determination of the fibre-proof properties of a fabric using a rubbing appa
16、ratus, when the fabric is tested against the filling material (either loose fibre or wadding) that will be used in the final product. This European Standard is applicable to all types of bedding articles, clothing and quilted products filled with textile materials. 2 Normative references The followi

19、 and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 filling material loose fibres or a loosely cohering sheet of fibres used for wadding and padding 3.2 wadding loosely cohering sheet of fibres, which may be bonded, used for padding, upholstery, stuffin
20、g, packing or similar purposes 4 Principle A cushion of specified dimensions is made from the fabric to be tested and filled with a given amount of the loose fibres or wadding that will be used in the final product. The cushion is mounted in an apparatus and undergoes a specified number of rubbings.
21、 The number of fibres that have protruded from (or passed through) the fabric is counted. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Rubbing apparatus The same apparatus as used for testing the down proof properties is used. The apparatus is described in EN 12132-1. DIN EN 15586:2008-09 EN 15586:2008 (E) 5 5.2 Thickness teste

23、the filling fibres when testing wadding. The protective fabric must be fibre proof when tested according to 8.1. 6.2 Additional fibres (for wadding test) Loose crimped fibres used for wadding and padding. 7 Atmosphere for conditioning and testing Conditioning of test specimens and testing is carried
24、 out in an atmosphere according to EN ISO 139. 8 Preparation of test cushions 8.1 Specimens for testing loose fibres as filling material At least two specimens are taken of the fabric each measuring (140 5) mm (420 10) mm, see Figure 1. One specimen is taken with its longer side in the length (warp)
25、 direction and one in the width (weft) direction. The right side is marked on fabric specimen. From these specimens two test cushions are sewn (with lockstitch according to ISO 4915, stitch type 301 with (10 1) stitches per cm). Stitch length in the seam is 1 mm.

Fix the opening with a clip on the marked line. Measure the th
29、ickness of the cushion with the pressure foot: 2 kPa, 50 cm2(see 5.2). Load the specimen and press the foot down manually until the cushion has a height of about 25 mm. Release the manual pressure and allow the cushion to reach its stable position under the pressure due to the thickness tester. Note
30、 the height. Repeat the procedure to see that the height is constant. The height should be between 36 mm and 39 mm if the filling is sufficient. If not, adjust it by removing or adding more filling material. The filling material shall be evenly distributed inside the cushion. When correct value is o
31、btained, sew together the opening, see Figure 4.

Cut four specimens (180 5) mm x (240 5) mm, see Figure 5, two in each direction of each of the materials to be tested (for example outer fabric, wadding, fibre proof fabric and interlining).

Sew a support seam about 3 mm outside the seams. The stitch length shall be about 2 mm, see Figure 6. Cut along the long sides to leave a seam
37、allowance of approximately 15 mm. Cut the wadding layers to about 10 mm in order to reduce the thickness of the seam allowance. Sew together all the layers at the selvedge with zigzag seams, stitch length 1 mm. Fill the test specimen with additional fibres (see 6.2) to obtain a well filled cushion.
38、Check that the amount is just enough in the same way as in 8.1. Sew together the short side in the same way as the other sides. Remove superfluous wadding from the short sides, see Figure 8.

NOTE 1 A black velvet fabric can be placed at the bottom of the apparatus to see if fibres have penetrated through the fabric and dropped down. Fasten the t
41、est cushion in the clamps of the test apparatus. The cushions short flaps are placed in the clamps and the cushion is folded between these clamps. The counter is set for 2 700 revolutions. The apparatus is started and after 2 700 revolutions it is automatically stopped by the counter. The cushion is
42、 removed from the test apparatus and placed under a suitable light source, e.g. UV light. The number of protruding visible fibres longer than 2 mm shall be counted on both sides of the cushion (the fibres on flaps area should not be counted). If the protruding fibres form pills, count all the includ
43、ed fibres. To ensure that the protruding fibres are from the loose fibres (8.1) or fibres from the wadding (8.2), slightly pull them with tweezers if necessary. If the number of filling particles protruding from the cushion is greater than 50, counting shall be stopped. Note if there are any fibres
44、that have dropped down during testing onto the black fabric. DIN EN 15586:2008-09 EN 15586:2008 (E) 13 10 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) reference to this European Standard; b) description and designation of the tested outer fabrics and interlinings (if used)
45、; c) description of the preparation of test cushions, according to 8.1 or 8.2; d) number of fibres protruded through the fabric for each cushion; e) if the result is “more than 50” fibres, then the result shall be stated as follows: “more than 50“; f) note if any fibres dropped down during testing onto the black fabric; g) any deviation from this standard and any incident likely to have affected the result.
