ISO 24343-2:2018 PDF Download

A methodology for assessing the degree of indentation and residual indentation that happens in resilient floor coverings is provided by ISO 24343-2:2018. This standard focuses on short-term indentation, which is the transient deformation brought on by applying and then removing a consistent stress to the floor covering. Materials with the capacity to regain their original shape or form once the load has been removed are those used in resilient floor coverings.

The tools and testing methods needed to measure the short-term and residual indentation are described in the standard. This involves describing the dimensions of the test specimen, the load to be applied, how long it should last, and the measurements that need to be taken. These measurements serve to evaluate the resilient floor covering's resistance to indentation and capacity to bounce back after it.

This standard makes it possible to consistently and accurately assess various kinds of resilient floor coverings by standardizing methods for figuring out short-term indentation and residual indentation. Manufacturers, designers, and specifiers can use this knowledge to choose and apply resilient floor coverings that satisfy the required performance standards.
