Foreword
Sub-clauses 4.1, 4.2, Clause 5, Clause 6, Clause 7 of this Standard are
mandatory; others are recommendatory.
This Standard replaces GB 18383-2001 General technical requirement for
products with wadding fibre.
This Standard only specifies the requirements for basic general performance
of products with filling materials. Specific product requirements shall refer to
the corresponding standards.
Compared with GB 18383-2001, the main modifications in this Standard are
as follows.
a) modified the scope of GB 18383-2001 to “applicable to the domestic and
non- domestic products with filling materials” (Clause 1 of this Edition;
Clause 1 of Edition 2001);
b) added and modified some normative references (Clause 2 of this
Edition);
c) modified the definitions of “filling and stuffing”, “products with filling
materials” and “foreign matter” (3.1, 3.2, 3.8 of this Edition; 3.1, 3.2, 3.3
of Edition 2001);
d) added the terms and definitions of “domestic products with filling
materials”, “fibre waste”, “textile waste”, “rag flock”, “textile waste
derived from hospital” (3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 of this Edition);
e) modified the requirements for raw materials, the use of
non-contaminated textile waste, a class of cotton linter in domestic
products with filling materials is not prohibited (4.1.2 of this Edition; 4.1.1,
4.1.3, 4.1.4 of Edition 2001);
f) added the specification that the non-contaminated textile waste as well
as the rag flock, under certain conditions, can be used as bedding raw
materials for domestic products with filling materials (4.1.3 of this
Edition);
g) deleted the quality requirements for cotton filling and stuffing AND
non-mandatory sensory requirements for filling and stuffing (4.1.2, 4.2 of
Edition 2001);
h) added the requirements that the substance and fiber content tolerance
must not be inspected in filling and stuffing of domestic products with
filling materials (4.1.4, 4.1.7 of this Edition);
