BS ISO 24343-3:2018 PDF Download

A technique for assessing the short-term indentation resistance of resilient semi-flexible or vinyl composition tile (VCT) floor coverings is provided by the BS ISO 24343-3:2018 standard. The method for determining the degree of indentation that happens when a constant load is applied to the flooring material is described in the standard.

This standard's goal is to evaluate a floor covering's capacity to withstand indentation brought on by the application of weight or pressure. This standard applies to resilient semi-flexible or VCT floor coverings. The performance and durability of these kinds of flooring are significantly influenced by indentation resistance. For the flooring material to be suitable for diverse purposes, it is essential to assess how well it can endure indentation.

Manufacturers, suppliers, and users of resilient and laminate floor coverings can evaluate how resistant their products are to indentation by carrying out the tests outlined in this standard. Making decisions on the suitability of the flooring material for particular environments and applications is made easier with the use of this information. The standard offers a standardized procedure for carrying out indentation testing, making it possible to consistently and accurately evaluate the performance of floor coverings.
