It is not possible to divide upholstery fabrics into just a few performance classes, because of the enormous variety of cond
21、itions of use. In addition, the type of upholstery (firm or soft) influences the abrasion of the upholstery fabric and hence the requirements to the abrasion resistance. There is, for example, a tremendous difference between furniture used in a room without windows and furniture which is directly ex
22、posed to sunlight, or between furniture used by elder people and furniture used by a family with small children. These differences in conditions and severity of use necessitate a flexible approach. This is done by defining a number of categories for each property. This allows to choose the appropria
23、te category for each parameter and so to compose a “product profile“, adapted to each specific type of use. This means that high resistance to abrasion can be combined with, for example, low colour fastness. However, due to the interrelation of some parameters, not all combinations will be possible.
24、 The categorisation system should not be interpreted as if an upholstery fabric needs to be rated “A“ for all properties in order to obtain an “A“ category. Contrary to EN 14465, the fire behaviour of the coated fabrics has been taken into account. DIN EN 15618:2012-08 EN 15618:2009+A1:2012 (E) 5 1
25、Scope This !European Standard“ specifies a set of properties relevant to the assessment of upholstery coated fabrics for indoor furniture and the appropriate test methods to determine these properties. It also describes a matrix system to express the material properties of an upholstery fabric. This
26、 !European Standard“ applies to upholstery fabrics both in domestic and public use, except when used for the seats of road or railway vehicles, boats or aeroplanes. This !European Standard“ applies to upholstery fabrics with a coating on the wear face. This !European Standard“ does not apply to text
27、ile upholstery fabrics covered by EN 14465. 2 Normative references !The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

34、ollowing terms and definitions apply. 3.1 coated fabric fabric with an adherent, discrete continuous layer of rubber and/or plastic based material on one or both surfaces EN 13360 3.2 stain result of the type of soiling by particles or liquids 3.3 cleanability property of the coated fabric to be res
35、tored to its original appearance after cleaning 4 Requirements Upholstery coated fabrics shall meet the requirements of Table 1, determined in relation to the performance profile claimed by the manufacturer or required by the users product specification. The levels indicated by shaded boxes in Table
36、 1 are not applicable, e.g. a colour fastness to light less than 4 is considered insufficient. NOTE 1 A material profile is composed of the different categories obtained for each of the properties, i.e. the category columns in Table 1 should not be understood as if a fabric has to meet or exceed all
37、 the requirements specified in the first column (best performance) to be qualified as a first class product. The material profile is merely a way of expressing properties in categories rather than in figures. Hence these categories can vary for the different properties, e.g. a fabric can obtain a ce
38、rtain category for tensile strength and a totally different category for seam slippage. If additional properties are claimed by the manufacturer or required by the users product specification, test results shall be provided based on the test methods specified in this standard (see optional propertie
39、s in Table 2). NOTE 2 Detachable covers, as mentioned in EN 14465, can be made of coated fabrics, but no specification has been requested.
