BIFMA Tex4.1-2005 Woven Textile Characteristics
BIFMA, March 2005, Pages: 10
This standard is intended to define “policies” established for textile flaws, bow and skew, directionality, and fractional measurement; and to provide a common basis for differentiating the face from the back of a woven textile fabric roll and the top of the pattern. This document applies to all woven textile fabric materials unless otherwise noted as exceptions.
This document is based on the actual experience of BIFMA International members and their suppliers. The Textiles Subcommittee of BIFMA’s Supply Chain Management Committee analyzed the textile supply process for both standard fabrics that office furniture manufacturers buy directly from textile manufacturers, as well as direct or indirect supply of textiles supplied by the jobber members of the Association for Contract Textiles.
The subcommittee initiated their work by identifying areas for improvement and polling office furniture manufacturers (OFM) to determine whether inconsistencies existed, both for standard fabrics as well as for the COM (Customer’s Own Material) fabrics supplied by jobbers. Then textile suppliers were polled to determine their capabilities. Meetings were held to discuss discrepancies and work towards harmonizing the standards where possible.
Every effort was made to come to agreement on the highest possible standard requirements. In addition, the commitment was made by the subcommittee to regularly review the standards, with the goal of continuously improving them wherever possible.
Please note, the buyer and seller reserve the right to negotiate an agreement that could differ from this standard as dictated by the service, product, or application.
