Resilient floor coverings - Determination of flexibility and deflection
Also Known As:
Determining the flexibility and deflection of resilient floor coverings is the main goal of DIN EN ISO 24344. It describes the procedures and methods that must be used during the testing process. The goal of the standard is to guarantee that the floor coverings can endure a specific amount of flexing and deflection without being seriously harmed or deformed.
The standard outlines procedures for testing many kinds of floor coverings, including cork, vinyl, rubber, and linoleum. It includes both recently produced floor coverings and those that have already been put in place. By applying a certain load to the floor covering and measuring any subsequent deflection, the flexibility of the material may be evaluated. This aids in figuring out whether the flooring can support the weight and motion of people or other loads without significantly bending or deforming.
