The color and pat-tern ex

15、tends throughout the thickness of the material. Solid Surface materials resistheat, stains, mildew, and impact. Incidental damage to the surface can be easily re-paired to maintain the appearance. It can be easily cut, routed and shaped to createspecific designs and patterns. In certain instances, t

16、he material can be cast into spe-cific shapes and patterns.Solid surface materials are typically used in countertop applications and wall cover-ing applications. The materials may find uses in many other applications, such aswindow sills and in plastic plumbing fixture applications.The ICPA develope

17、d this Performance Standard for Solid Surface Materials to estab-lish minimum performance standards for these materials. This standard and test pro-cedures contained herein deal with the attributes and acceptability of solid surfacematerials. This standard does not address the specific use of these

18、materials inplumbing fixture applications. The ANSI Z124 series of standards applies to plasticplumbing fixtures. Other applications may have other requirements.In the early 1990s, it became apparent from increased consumer awareness and de-mand for solid surface materials that there was an overall

19、need for a performancestandard for this material. In 1993, ICPAs Research and Development Committeebegan work on a Solid Surface Standard in an effort to benchmark a standard ofquality for the industry.The ICPAs Performance Standard for Solid Surface Materials, ICPA SS-1, wasadopted by the ICPA Boar

20、d of Directors in 1997. In 1998, ICPA applied for and re-ceived ANSI accreditation as a standards developer using the canvass method. Acanvass list was developed and a ICPA SS-1 was subjected to a canvass letter balloton March 16, 1999. Four negative ballots and six affirmative ballots with comments

21、were received. A summary of those comments was distributed to all participants inthe canvass on September 10, 1999. The ICPA Research and Development Com-mittee held meetings on September 23, 1999 and March 8, 2000 to review the com-ments received and a meeting June 1, 2000 to review a revised draft

22、 of the proposedstandard. All canvassees were invited to the meetings. The revised draft was dis-tributed for a recirculation ballot on August 28, 2000. The final document and sup-porting materials were forwarded to ANSI for BSR review on March 16, 2001. TheStandard was approved on April 17, 2001.Su

23、ggestions for improvements of this standard are welcome. They should be sent tothe International Cast Polymer Association, 8201 Greensboro Drive, Suite 300,McLean, VA 22102.The following organizations recognized as having an interest in the performancespecifications for solid surface materials were

29、 pertaining to structure, renewability, water resistance, colorfastness, stain resistance, cleanability and other significant properties, in addition to general requirements of materials, workmanship and finish of solid surface materials. These products can be used for countertops, wall panels, wind

30、ow sills and other architectural applications. The materials and equipment listed to conduct testing procedures in this standard are provided solely for informational reference. Materials and equipment of similar design, composition and specification may also be used to conduct these test procedures

31、. 1.2 Purpose The purpose of this standard is to establish minimum acceptable performance standards for solid surface materials. It is intended to serve as a guide for producers, distributors, architects, engineers, contractors, home builders, code authorities and users; to promote understanding reg

32、arding materials, manufacture, and installation; to form a basis for fair competition; and to provide a basis for identifying solid surface materials that conform to this standard. This standard and test procedures contained herein deal with the acceptability of solid surface materials. Other author

33、ities may have additional requirements. NOTE - There is the ANSI Z124 series of standards that applies to plastic plumbing fixtures. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establi

34、sh appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2 Normative References The following standards contain provisions that, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Standard.
