Resilient floor coverings - Determination of shear force
Also Known As:
For calculating the shear force between and within layers of a resilient floor covering, refer to the DIN EN 432 standard. This standard intends to create a standardized procedure for assessing how resistant various floor coverings are to slipping or sliding while in use.
The standard specifies a particular process for carrying out the shear force test, ensuring precision and repeatability of results across various testing facilities. It details the tools needed for the test, including the right loading apparatus, sample holder, and measuring devices.
This standard enables manufacturers, architects, and flooring experts to assess the performance and security of various resilient floor covering types by calculating the shear force. The test's results can be used to determine the best flooring option for a variety of situations, such as high-traffic areas or locations where slipping hazards might be a problem.
