1.1 本规程用于评估附着在家具单元上的室内装饰织物（包括机织、针织、簇绒、植绒或乙烯基织物）性能的重要特定特性。 1.2 据了解，用于构建软垫家具单元的织物应首先使用适当的织物性能标准进行评估，如规范 D3597 和 D3690 . 1.3 松散的垫子或枕头被认为是整个家具单元的固有部分，应使用此做法进行评估。 1.4 本规程不用于评估用作家具覆盖物的滑套或投掷物。户外家具覆盖物不应使用本规程进行评估。 1.5 本规程不应被解释为性能标准，而应仅被解释为所附装饰织物评估的标准规程。 1.6 买方和供应商之间可通过相互协议使用此做法来制定采购规范。 1.7 本标准并不旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的使用者有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.8 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认的标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 本规程可用于评估附着的装饰织物的相关性能特征。 4.2 被视为整个软垫家具单元固有组成部分的松散垫子或枕头应使用本规程进行评估。 4.3 这种做法不适用于户外家具，也不适用于窗帘或窗帘。 4.4 按照自愿护理标签说明的指示或买方和供应商之间的约定，在翻新程序之前和之后都要进行评估。 4.5 本文讨论的特定清洁和维护程序并不反映旨在提高家具覆盖物性能的专业护理，例如土壤和污渍保护剂的应用。本实践中反映的是根据家具附带的任何自愿护理标签说明使用的当前清洁方法的最低能力。 4.6 待评估的特性和分配给这些区域的验收标准应由买方和供应商共同商定。 4.7 在适当的测试方法和性能标准中讨论了特定特性的重要性和用途。

1.1 This practice is to be used to evaluate specific characteristics of importance in the performance of upholstery fabric attached to a furniture unit, including woven, knitted, tufted, flocked, or vinyl fabrics. 1.2 It is understood that the fabric used to construct the upholstered furniture unit should be evaluated initially using appropriate fabric performance standards, such as Specifications D3597 and D3690 . 1.3 Loose cushions or pillows considered an inherent part of the total furniture unit are to be evaluated using this practice. 1.4 This practice is not to be used to evaluate slipcovers or throws used as furniture coverings. Outdoor furniture coverings are not to be evaluated using this practice. 1.5 This practice shall not be construed to be a standard of performance but only as a standard practice for evaluation of attached upholstery fabrics. 1.6 This practice may be used by mutual agreement between purchaser and supplier to establish purchasing specifications. 1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.8 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 This practice may be used to evaluate pertinent performance characteristics of attached upholstery fabrics. 4.2 Loose cushions or pillows considered an inherent part of the total upholstered furniture unit are to be evaluated using this practice. 4.3 This practice is not intended for use with outdoor furniture nor with slipcovers or throws. 4.4 Evaluation is to be done both before and after the refurbishing procedures, as directed in voluntary care labeling instructions or as agreed upon between purchaser and supplier. 4.5 The specified cleaning and maintenance procedures herein discussed do not reflect professional care designed to enhance the performance of furniture coverings, such as the application of soil and stain protectants. Reflected in this practice are the minimum capabilities of current cleaning methods used in accordance with any voluntary care labeling instructions accompanying the furniture. 4.6 The characteristics to be evaluated and the acceptance criteria assigned to these areas shall be set by mutual agreement between purchaser and supplier. 4.7 The significance and use of specific properties are discussed in the appropriate test methods and performance standards.
