Mandatory
Required? Yes: must be met to carry the credential.
Klar Cite summary
Mattress covers made of woven fabric must have a tear strength of at least 15 N, among other limits on seam slippage and tensile strength. It applies to covers made of any fibre. Evidence the scheme asks for: ISO 9073-4 for tear strength, ISO 13936-2 for seam slippage and ISO 13934-1 for tensile strength.

- Applies to
- covers made of any fibre
How it is proven
- Evidence required
- the applicant shall provide reports describing the results of the tests performed according to ISO 13937-2 or ISO 9073-4 for tear strength, ISO 13936-2 (under a load of 60 N) for seam slippage and ISO 13934-1 for tensile strength.
- Who checks it
