Laminate Floor Coverings: Test Method for the Determination of Micro-Scratch Resistance
Also Known As:
A test procedure for measuring the micro-scratch resistance of laminate floor coverings is provided by the standard BS EN 16094:2012. This test is designed to evaluate the laminate flooring's resistance to small dings and scratches that could happen with normal use. All varieties of laminate floor coverings are covered under the standard.
The test procedure described in BS EN 16094:2012 entails applying a controlled scratching process to the laminate floor covering while using a designated test apparatus. By evaluating the width of the created scratches, the test gauges the flooring's resistance to micro-scratches. This aids in determining the laminate's resistance to surface abrasion and capacity to preserve its aesthetic quality over time.
