38、vironment and is suitable for factory production control for all types of mattress ticking. The method makes use of a calibrated length of fabric. In case of doubt, the method described in EN 1773 should always be used for reference. A flat surface of suitable dimensions is needed, e.g. a production
39、 hall. The climatic conditions in the hall should be as close as possible to the standard conditions of temperature (20 C) and relative humidity (65 %). A calibrated rule of suitable length should be used. A roll of steady finished mattress ticking is put on the floor and unrolled. A length of 50 m
40、is immediately marked on the fabric with the aid of the calibrated rule. This length of fabric is used to calibrate the counter on the measuring table. This calibration procedure should be repeated at least once a year. EN 14976:2005 (E) 9 Annex B (informative) Determination of flexing and bias Flex
41、ing/bias are important properties but at present no European or International Standard has been developed to assess these properties. The following national standards could be used for guidance: BS 2819: Methods for determination of bow, skew and lengthway distortion in woven and knitted fabrics NF
42、G07-163 Textiles - Essais des tissus - Mesure de lcart angulaire The flexing/bias of a mattress ticking fabric should not exceed two virtual horizontal lines situated at a distance of maximum 2 % (for woven fabrics) or 5 % (for knitted fabrics and nonwovens) of the width of the fabric.
