American National Standards Institute(ANSI). NSF International (NSF). 9 p. The purpose of the Standard is to address the environmental, economic and social aspects of commercial furnishings fabric used in public occupancy settings such as office, hospitality, healthcare and institutional interiors. These textiles include but are not limited to woven, non-woven, bonded, knitted, felted and composite materials used for upholstered furniture; walls, draperies, cubicles, furniture systems and other vertical applications; and decorative top-of-bed applications such as bedspreads. The Standard also incorporates Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) criteria that measure inputs, outputs and environmental impacts of textile products across their entire lifespan.
