21、upholstery fabrics into just a few performance classes, because of the enormous variety of conditions 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
22、 difference between furniture used in a room without windows and furniture which is directly exposed 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
23、 done by defining a number of categories for each property. This allows to choose the appropriate 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 fastnes
24、s. However, due to the interrelation of some parameters, not all combinations will be possible. 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
25、coated fabrics has been taken into account.

26、termine these properties. It also describes a matrix system to express the material properties of an upholstery fabric. This !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 !Europ
27、ean Standard“ applies to upholstery fabrics with a coating on the wear face. This !European Standard“ does not apply to textile 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 indispensa

35、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 restored to its original appearance after cleaning 4 Requirements Upholstery coated fabrics shall meet the requirements of Table 1, determined in rela
36、tion to the performance profile claimed by the manufacturer or required by the users product specification. The levels indicated by shaded boxes in Table 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 differe
37、nt 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 the requirements specified in the first column (best performance) to be qualified as a first class product. The material profile is merely a way o
38、f expressing properties in categories rather than in figures. Hence these categories can vary for the different properties, e.g. a fabric can obtain a certain category for tensile strength and a totally different category for seam slippage. If additional properties are claimed by the manufacturer or
39、 required by the users product specification, test results shall be provided based on the test methods specified in this standard (see optional properties in Table 2). NOTE 2 Detachable covers, as mentioned in EN 14465, can be made of coated fabrics, but no specification has been requested. EN 15618
