    This British Standard specifies requirements for general purpose felts including packaging felts, and decorative felts and precision felts.

    Methods of test for chemical and physical properties are given in normative annexes C and D, respectively.

    This standard applies to either white felt or grey felt, with a minimum wool content of 75%, 90% or 97%, except for A97/7D felt, which is dyed (see Table 1).
