BS EN 1269:2019 PDF Download

Two techniques for assessing treatments or impregnations in needled floor coverings using a soiling test are described in the standard BS EN 1269:2019. This standard intends to establish a uniform process for determining how well impregnations protect floor coverings against soiling.

In both of the techniques outlined in this standard, the needled floor coverings are exposed to controlled soiling circumstances, and their performance is assessed using pre-established standards. The floor coverings are exposed to a standardized soiling agent as part of the soiling test, and their resistance to soiling is then assessed.

The needled floor coverings industry may evaluate the performance of impregnations or treatments and make educated decisions about their suitability for various applications thanks to BS EN 1269:2019, which specifies a standardized approach. This standard is a useful tool for quality assurance and control, making sure that impregnations in needled floor coverings adhere to predetermined performance criteria.
