Hence the scope covers also machine-made rugs and runners without pile; the normative references were updated

16、and new references were included; new classification codes and new criteria were introduced for the use intensity classes (Clause 6); luxury classes were based only on the mass of pile per unit area above the substrate (SPW); a class LC1 was introduced (Clause 7); Annex A was extended to a wider ran

17、ge of materials; Annex B was deleted. The new Annex B corresponds to the previous Annex C (stair suitability) but was thoroughly reworked; A new Annex C was added on the test report; A new Annex D was added: a list of equivalent terms in four languages (English-French-German-Dutch).

41、ve) Method to determine the calculated surface pile density The following formula shall be used to calculate the calculated surface pile density: FD SPT3-10 SPW = SPDcSurface pile thickness (SPT) shall be determined in accordance with EN 1766. The fibre density factors (FD) are as follows: acrylic 1

42、,12 cotton 1,50 polyamide 1,14 polyester 1,38 polypropylene 0,91 silk 1,25 viscose 1,52 wool 1,32 In the case of fibre blends, the minimum requirements are calculated on a pro-rata basis according to the fibre blend. BS EN 14215:2013EN 14215:2013 (E) 9 Annex B (normative) Criteria for the assessment

43、 of stair suitability This annex shall be used only for runners that are intended to be installed without the use of protective stair nosing. For runners that are intended to be installed using protective stair nosing, the overall use class shall determine the stair suitability. For loop pile runner

44、s, the thickness of the pile above the substrate measured according to ISO 1766 shall be 12 mm. For pile runners: If the primary backing can be seen on a new unused piece of the runner when bent at 90 over a (12,5 1) mm radius, the runner shall be deemed to be unsuitable as long as a visible backing

45、 is not part of the surface design. Assess the appearance of each test specimen using at least three independent assessors according to the characteristics given in Table B.1 (for loop pile runners), Table B.2 (for cut pile runners) or Table B4 (for runners without pile). Pile runners showing a pile

46、 loss of more than three when assessed in accordance with Tables B.1 or B.2 shall be tested and classified according to the pile withdrawal force test given in Table B.3. Table B.1 Loop pile runners Suitability Criteria Not suitable Extreme changes at the area of the stair edge e.g.: visible primary

47、 backing as long as a visible backing is not part of the surface design; more than three fully broken loops; cob-webbing with a fibre length of 15 mm or more. Suitable for class 21 and 22 Moderate changes at the area of the stair edge e.g.: not more than three broken loops over the whole width; cob-

48、webbing with a fibre length of 5 mm to 15 mm; moderate pattern changes at the stair edge compared to areas of the test specimen exposed to the flat treatment with the Lisson Tretrad; runners showing pile loss (more than three) are tested and classified according to the pile withdrawal force test (IS

49、O 4919 and Table B.3). Suitable for class 23 Minor changes at the area of the stair edge e.g.: limited filament destruction (no broken loops); cob-webbing with a fibre length of less than 5 mm; minor pattern changes at the stair edge compared to areas of the test specimen exposed to the flat treatment with the Lisson Tretrad; runners showing pile loss (more than three) are tested and classified according to the pile withdrawal force te
