scope:

This standard specifies the dimensions of bed blankets made of textile materials. It also specifies the method of checking these dimensions and of marking them on the blankets. The standard does not apply to: a) fitted covers, b) electric blankets, the heating qualities of which derive essentially from an electric element rather than from any textile material, c) bedspreads, divan spreads, continental quilts, and travelling rugs (quilted or unquilted, filled or unfilled, lined or unlined) the characteristics of which differ from those defined in clause 2, d) textile articles that, although similar in nature to bed blankets, are not bed blankets in end use, for example rugs, sheets, protective sheets and underblankets, and special purpose blankets such as animal blankets.
