Specifies a method for the assessment of the visible soiling of upholstery fabrics which occurs in the areas that come into direct contact with the body during use. Coverage includes: apparatus, test procedure, and preparation of test specimens and standard cotton fabric.

This British Standard specifies a method for the assessment of the visible soiling of upholstery fabrics which occurs in those areas which come into direct contact with the body during use, e.g. upholstered arms, the tops of the backs of some chairs and settees and the lower front edge of seats. Upholstery fabrics the use-surface of which is coated with a plastics material are excluded, as are airborne soiling and staining from other causes.
