BS EN 15586:2008EN 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 apparatus, when the fabric is tested against the fil
16、ling 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 following referenced documents are indispensable for th
17、e application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

19、nt, 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, stuffing, packing or similar purposes 4 Principle A cus
20、hion 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. The number of fibres that have protruded from (
21、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. BS EN 15586:2008EN 15586:2008 (E) 5 5.2 Thickness tester A thickness tester according to EN ISO 5084 with a
22、presser-foot area of (50 5) cm2and a pressure of (2 0,02) kPa shall be used. 5.3 UV-light source 5.4 Magnification device Magnifying glass or microscope, e.g. 8X magnification 6 Materials 6.1 Protective fabric (for wadding test) Fabric to contain the filling fibres when testing wadding. The protecti
23、ve 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 out in an atmosphere according to EN ISO 139. 8 Prep
24、aration 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) direction and one in the width (weft) direction. The
25、 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. BS EN 15586:2008EN 15586:2008 (E) 6 Dimensions in millimetres 420 10140 5Figure 1 Test sp

Fix the opening with a clip on the marked line. Measure the thickness of the cushion with the pressure foot: 2 kPa, 50 cm2(se
29、e 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 the height. Repeat the procedure to see that the height is con
30、stant. 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 obtained, sew together the opening, see Figure 4. BS EN 15586:20

Cut four specimens (180 5) mm x (240 5

Cut along the long sides to leave a seam allowance of approximately 15 mm. Cut the wadding layers to about 10 mm in ord
37、er 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. Check that the amount is just enough in the same way as in 8.1. Sew together t
38、he short side in the same way as the other sides. Remove superfluous wadding from the short sides, see Figure 8.

40、ll loose fibres and other trash from the test specimen. 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 test cushion in the clamps of the test apparatus. The cushions short flaps are placed in
41、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 removed from the test apparatus and placed under a suitable light source, e.g. UV light
42、. 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 included fibres. To ensure that the protruding fibres are from the loose fibres (8.1) or fibre
43、s 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 that have dropped down during testing onto the black fabric. BS EN 15586:2008EN 15586:20
