(Specification)Standard Performance Specification for Woven, Knitted, or Flocked Bedspread Fabrics
Standard Performance Specification for Woven, Knitted, or Flocked Bedspread Fabrics
SCOPE
1.1 This performance specification covers the performance requirements for woven, knitted, or flocked fabrics to be used in the manufacturing of bedspreads.
1.2 These requirements apply to the length and width directions for those properties where fabric direction is pertinent.
1.3 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
