Flexible cellular polymeric materials - Polyurethane foam for load-bearing applications excluding carpet underlay - Specification (ISO 5999:2007)
ISO 5999:2007 specifies requirements for flexible load-bearing polyurethane foam of the polyether type.
It is applicable to flexible polyurethane cellular materials manufactured in block, sheet and strip form, in moulded and fabricated shapes, and as reconstituted material, used for load-bearing applications in general, but excluding carpet backing and underlay. It thus primarily relates to the quality of polyurethane foam used for comfort cushioning purposes.
The foam is classified according to performance during a fatigue test, indentation hardness index being used as a secondary means of grading the material.
The standard is not applicable to polyurethane foams foamed in place or to foams for use in heat-welded systems unless for load-bearing purposes.
Recommended applications for the range of flexible polyurethane foams covered by the standard are listed in an annex.
Weich-elastische Polymerschaumstoffe - Polyurethanschaumstoffe für Polsterzwecke mit Ausnahme von Teppichunterlagen - Anforderungen (ISO 5999:2007)
Diese Internationale Norm legt Anforderungen an weich-elastische, tragende Polyurethanschaumstoffe vom Polyethertyp fest.
Sie gilt für weich-elastische Polyurethanschaumstoffe, die als Schaumblock, in Platten- und Streifenform, als Formkörper und angefertigte Schaumstoffteile sowie als rekonstituiertes Material für allgemein tragende Anwendungen, mit Ausnahme von Teppichrückseiten und -unterlagen hergestellt werden. Die Norm bezieht sich folglich in erster Linie auf die Qualität von Polyurethanschaumstoffen zur Anwendung für Polsterzwecke.
Der Schaumstoff wird entsprechend dem Verhalten während einer Ermüdungsprüfung klassifiziert, wobei die Eindrückhärte als eine zweite Möglichkeit zur Einstufung des Materials dient.
Diese Internationale Norm gilt weder für Hinterschäumungen noch für Schaumstoffe zur Verwendung in heißgeschweißten Systemen, außer für tragende Anwendungen.
Empfohlene Anwendungen für den Bereich weich-elastischer Polyurethanschaumstoffe entsprechend dieser Internationalen Norm sind in Anhang A aufgeführt.
Matériaux polymères alvéolaires souples - Mousse de polyuréthanne pour utilisations soumises à des charges, à l'exclusion des revers de tapis - Spécifications (ISO 5999:2007)
L'ISO 5999:2007 spécifie les exigences relatives à la mousse flexible de polyuréthanne, du type polyéther, lorsqu'elle est soumise à des charges.
Elle s'applique aux matériaux alvéolaires souples en polyuréthanne fabriqués en blocs, en feuilles ou en bandes, en formes moulées ou fabriquées et comme matériau de récupération, employés d'une façon générale à des utilisations soumises à des charges, mais à l'exclusion des dos et revers de tapis. Elle se rapporte donc en premier lieu à la qualité de la mousse flexible de polyuréthanne utilisée à des fins de rembourrage visant le confort.
La classification de la mousse se base sur les performances lors d'un essai de fatigue, l'indice de dureté par indentation étant utilisé comme un moyen supplémentaire pour classer le matériau.
La présente norme ne couvre pas les mousses de polyuréthanne formées en place, ou les mousses à l'usage des systèmes soudés à chaud, sauf pour des utilisations soumises à des charges.
Les utilisations recommandées pour la série de mousses flexibles de polyuréthanne relevant de la présente norme sont indiquées dans une annexe.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 5999 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 45, Rubber and rubber products, Subcommittee
SC 4, Products (other than hoses).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 5999:1982), which has been technically revised
(for the main details, see Annex C).
