PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee TX/18 on Quality
Requirements for Textile Furnishings, to supersede AS 2687— 1984 Textiles — Upholstery
fabrics for domestic use.
While AS 2687— 1984 covered only fabrics for domestic use, this revision gives
performance requirements for five classifications of fabrics for all end-use applications.
Alternative methods and requirements for abrasion resistance of woven fabrics are given
because these methods tend to favour certain fabrics.
The term ‘normative’ has been used in this Standard to define the application of the
appendix to which it applies. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard.
