This Standard provides pathways toward sustainability by establishing measurable criteria for multiple
levels of achievement. It allows manufacturers flexibility in methods for conformance and certification.
This Standard assesses product characteristics in the areas of material and component inputs, water and
energy use, recycling practices and social accountability. This version of the Standard does not include
specific criteria for calculating carbon footprint nor does it cover transportation.
This Standard is applicable to commercial fabrics commonly used in public occupancy settings, such as
office, hospitality, healthcare, and institutional interiors. These include but are not limited to upholstery,
vertical fabric (furniture system, wall, drapery, and cubicle), and top of the bed fabrics. Fabrics may be
formed by combining yarns, fibers, or filaments in a variety of ways including but not limited to woven,
non-woven, knitted, bonded, felted, and composite materials. This Standard is applicable to fabrics manufactured
in one or multiple facilities, in one or multiple countries.
