We had to buy some paper for doing a thrown object test on a mower a while ago, and we found that when we quoted the spec (which meant very little to us) to a local packaging manufacturer they knew exactly what was required and sold about a mile of it for under GBP 50.
I'd also point out that the test which this is used for is simply trying to confirm that the appliance does not catch fire when the inlet vents are blocked, so I don't see that the spec. of the paper is all that important so long as it's thin enough to conform closely to the profile of the intake vent and thick enough not to get sucked through the slots. However, if you're trying to recreate the exact test for accreditation purposes you'll obviously have to take a different view. Nick.
