What is BS EN 15586 – Methods of testing fibre proof properties of fabrics?

BS EN 15586 is an international standard that focuses on aspects of good quality fabrics.

BS EN 15586 describes a method for the determination of the fibre-proof properties of the fabric using a rubbing apparatus when the fabric is tested against the filling material (either loose fibre or wadding) that will be used in the final product.

BS EN 15586 applies to all types of bedding articles, clothing and quilted products filled with textile materials.

Who is BS EN 15586 - Methods of testing fibre proof properties of fabrics for?

BS EN 15586 on methods for testing fibre proof properties of fabrics is useful for:

Textile manufacturer
Clothing industries
Bedding manufacturers
Textile testing laboratories
Fabric quality assurance authorities
Regulatory authorities

Why should you use BS EN 15586 - Methods of testing fibre proof properties of fabrics?

The quality of the clothing products in the textile industry mainly depends on the quality of the fabrics used for the clothing, may it be apparel, bedding, or any other piece of cloth. Thus, it is essential that fabric undergoes various test methods to prove and improve its reliability, efficiency and class.

BS EN 15586 lays out the technicalities for methods for testing fibre proof properties of fabrics. It gives you detailed information about the apparatus needed to perform the test, explains the principle of the test, helps the users to prepare the specimens for testing loose fibres. It specifies the dimensions for the fabric to be tested and filled with a given amount of the loose fibres or wadding that is used in the final product.

BS EN 15586 sets the framework to verify the product quality and assures control of raw materials, products, and processes. It deals with the testing of fibres, yarns and fabrics and the recent development of textile testing instruments.
