Gives a procedure for measuring compression set under humid conditions for the first time, as well as updating the conditioning procedure.

This Part of BS 4443 describes the method of test that applies to flexible cellular products of polymeric origin: determination of tear strength of flexible materials with an integral skin and a density not greater than 500 kg/m3 and determination of compression set under humid conditions. NOTE 1 The tear strength method described produces a value that may be regarded as a measure of the tear strength of the skinned foam under the conditions of the particular test. NOTE 2 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
