Specifies requirements for flexible load-bearing cellular polyurethane for use in seat cushioning, bedding and similar applications.

This Standard sets out requirements for flexible load-bearing cellular polyurethane, manufactured in block, flat or profiled sheet and strip form, in moulded and fabricated shapes, and as reconstituted material, for use in seat cushioning, bedding and similar applications.NOTES:1 Appendix A provides a guide to the grade and thickness of cellular polyurethane foam that may be used for various applications.2 Appendix B provides a comparison of the nominal hardness of foams specified in this Standard and the previous edition.3 Appendix C provides discussion on the fire behaviour of flexible cellular polyurethanes.
