ISO 3415:1986 PDF Download

The method for calculating the thickness loss of textile floor coverings during brief, moderate static loading is described in ISO 3415:1986, a standard. The test is made to mimic the short-term pressure that a chair leg would provide. All textile floor coverings with uniform thickness and construction must adhere to this specification. If different regions with varying thickness or construction can't be tested individually, it could not be relevant to other textile floor coverings.

It is crucial to note that ISO 3416 addresses thickness loss under extended, severe static loading, but this standard does not. Additionally, clauses 4 and 7 have undergone technical updates in ISO 3415:1986, which is an updated version of the first edition (ISO 3415-1975). This standard offers an accurate way to measure thickness loss in textile floor coverings caused by brief, moderate static loads.
