Scope

This document specifies apparatus, test methods, and disclosure requirements for generating ageing effects in a seat cushion that reproduce those seen in use. It provides methods of determining changes in the physical and mechanical properties of seat cushions based on their age and use. This document provides a set of tests that simulate wear and tear, which can be useful to validate warranty claims and to provide information about product, life, and performance limitations associated with product use.
