BS EN ISO 24344:2012 PDF Download

Guidelines and techniques for assessing the flexibility and deflection of resilient floor coverings are provided by the standard BS EN ISO 24344:2012.

A floor covering's flexibility is its capacity to adjust to changing conditions and sustain movement without breaking or cracking. This standard specifies the tools and testing procedures required to evaluate the material's flexibility, assisting in ensuring its lifetime and durability.

On the other side, deflection describes the amount of bending or distortion that happens when a load or force is applied to the floor covering. This standard offers the appropriate methods for calculating the material's deflection under particular circumstances, enabling an assessment of the material's performance and structural integrity.

Manufacturers, specifiers, and installers can guarantee that resilient floor coverings meet the necessary flexibility and deflection standards by using the procedures outlined in this standard. This will make it easier to choose the best flooring material for various purposes and ensure that it is appropriate for the use that it is meant for.
