ISO 23999:2018 PDF Download

A measurement procedure for the dimensional stability and curling of resilient floor coverings following heat exposure is described in ISO 23999:2018. Resilient floor coverings are described in the standard as sheets, tiles, or planks.

The goal of this standard is to offer a dependable and consistent method for evaluating how well floor coverings keep their shape and structure when exposed to heat. This is crucial because exposure to heat can cause floor coverings to expand, compress, or curl, which can compromise their longevity, usability, and aesthetic appeal.

The standard outlines the steps for heating floor coverings and measuring the dimensional changes and curling that ensue. It offers recommendations for the temperature and length of heat exposure as well as the measurement instruments and equipment to be used.
