BS 4052:1987 PDF Download

A method for calculating the thickness loss of textile floor coverings when subjected to dynamic loading is provided by the BS 4052:1987 standard. Textile floor coverings with a level surface in terms of height are covered by the standard. 

This standard describes a methodical approach that can be used repeatedly to rate the toughness and endurance of textile floor coverings. The thickness loss can be monitored over time by submitting the floor coverings to dynamic loading, such as foot traffic or other types of mechanical stress. The standard guarantees that a uniform methodology is applied throughout all testing circumstances, enabling accurate comparisons between various floor coverings.

Manufacturers, designers, and consumers who want to assess the performance and longevity of textile floor coverings must adhere to the BS 4052:1987 standard. It offers a dependable and consistent approach for determining thickness loss, a crucial sign of how much use and abuse these floor coverings have endured.
