Textile floor coverings - Determination of sensitivity to spilled water
Also Known As:
The purpose of the DIN EN 15115 standard is to evaluate the water-spill sensitivity of textile floor coverings. This standard's objective is to determine whether a floor covering changes in color or structure as a result of water being sprayed on it. This alteration may be due to a genuine change in color or the concentration and movement of chemicals from the precoat or backing during drying.
The concentration of chemicals on specific areas of the surface is one of the key factors influencing the uneven soiling of textile floor coverings. In order to help producers and consumers of textile floor coverings understand how they can respond to such situations, this standard tries to detect and evaluate this sensitivity to spilt water. Finding out how sensitive a floor covering is through tests done in accordance with this standard can help inform decisions about how to maintain and care for it.
