ISO 11857:1999 PDF Download

ISO 11857:1999 is a standard that specifies a method for assessing the resistance of textile floor coverings to delamination. It focuses on determining the force required to separate the layers of these covers. This standard applies to any sort of textile floor covering with a secondary or foam backing.

The goal of this test is to evaluate the quality and production control of these floor coverings. Manufacturers can guarantee that the coverings are adequately bonded and will not delaminate during usage by measuring the force required to separate the layers. It should be noted, however, that the results of this test may not precisely reflect the performance of the floor coverings in actual use.
