DINEN 12721:2014-02EN 12721:2009+A1:2013 (E) 4 1 Scope This European standard specifies a method for the assessment of the resistance to wet heat of all rigid furniture surfaces regardless of materials. It

21、does not apply to leather and textile surfaces. The test is intended to be carried out on a part of the finished furniture, but can be carried out on test panels of the same material, finished in an identical manner to the finished product, and of a size sufficient to meet the requirements of the te

22、st. The test should be carried out on unused surfaces. !deleted text“ 2 Normative references !The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

27、h the test surface. After a specified test period, the block and damp cloth are removed and the test surface is left for 16 h to 24 h. Thereafter, the test surface is cleaned and examined for damages such as discolouration, change in gloss, change in colour, blistering and swelling. The test result

28、is stated in a numerical rating code. 5 Apparatus and materials 5.1 Thermometer As specified in ISO 1770:1981, capable of insertion to the bottom of the centre bore of the heat source (5.2) or other means of measuring the temperature of the heat source to an accuracy of 1 C. 5.2 Heat source A block

29、as shown in Figure 1 manufactured from aluminium alloy according to ISO 209:2007, Al Mg Si (alloy shall contain more than 94% aluminium). The roughness of bottom surface shall be (2 1) m, expressed as Ra, according to EN ISO 4287:1998 and EN ISO 4288:1997. NOTE Alloy 6060 and 64430 are suitable The

30、following tolerances are applicable: Lengths: 0,2 mm of the nominal length Angles: 2 of the nominal angle DIN EN 12721:2014-02 EN 12721:2009+A1:2013 (E) 6 Dimensions in millimetres Figure 1 Aluminium block used as heat source 5.3 Oven An oven which can heat the heat source to a temperature higher th

31、an the test temperature. 5.4 Cleaning cloth White soft absorbent cloth. 5.5 White polyamide fibre cloth A plain weave having approximately 40 threads/cm in both warp and weft direction, weighing approximately 50 g/m, and cut (120 3) mm square. 5.6 Deionized or distilled water 5.7 Heat-insulating foa

32、m A melamine foam, with the following characteristics: density between 8,5 kg/m3 and 11,5 kg/m3; heat conductivity, less than 0,035 W/mK. The foam shall withstand at a temperature higher than 200 C. 5.8 Diffuse light source Light source providing evenly diffused light, giving an illumination on the

33、test surface of (1200 400) lx. This may either be diffused daylight or be diffused artificial daylight. DIN EN 12721:2014-02 EN 12721:2009+A1:2013 (E) 7 NOTE The daylight should be unaffected by surrounding trees, etc. When artificial daylight is used it is recommended that it should have a correlat

34、ed colour temperature of (6500 50) K and an Ragreater than 92, by using a colour matching booth in accordance with EN ISO 3668:2001. 16 Preparation and conditioning 6.1 Conditioning Conditioning of test surface shall begin at least one week before testing and shall be carried out in air at a tempera

35、ture of (23 2) C and relative humidity of (50 5)%. The conditioning time shall be stated in the test report. 6.2 Test surface The test surface shall be substantially flat and with a size sufficient to meet the requirements of Clause 7. 7 Test procedure 7.1 Testing Immediately after conditioning, the

36、 test shall be carried out in a test atmosphere of (23 2) C. The test surface shall be placed horizontally. It shall accommodate the required number of tests, with at least 15 mm spacing between the perimeter of adjacent test surfaces, and between the perimeters of the test surfaces and the edges of

37、 the panel. Where tests are carried out simultaneously, the perimeters of the test surfaces shall be separated by a minimum of 50 mm. If there is any reason to suppose that the properties of the test surface may vary, two identical tests shall be carried out simultaneously. The test surface shall be

38、 lightly wiped with a cleaning cloth (5.4) before the testing. Using the oven (5.3), raise the temperature of the heat source to a temperature higher than the specified test temperature, and transfer it to the heat insulating foam (5.7). Place the thermometer (5.1) or other means of measuring temper

39、ature in the centre bore of the heat source (5.2). If the temperature is not higher than the specified test temperature, the heat source shall be placed again in the oven until achieving this higher temperature. Place the white polyamide fibre cloth (5.5) centrally on the test surface. Spread (2 0,2

40、) cm3of distilled or deionized water (5.6) uniformly over the whole area of the white polyamide fibre cloth. NOTE A graduated eye dropper is suitable for dispensing the distilled or deionised water. When the heat source reaches the specified test temperature with an accuracy of 1 C, immediately plac

41、e it on the centre of the white polyamide fibre cloth. After 20 min in this position, remove the block. Wipe the test surface dry with the cleaning cloth (5.4) when it has cooled. Record the position of each test surface and its temperature. Allow the test surface to stand undisturbed from 16 h to 2

42、4 h. Wipe each test surface with the cleaning cloth (5.4) and examine the test panel. DIN EN 12721:2014-02 EN 12721:2009+A1:2013(E)8 7.2 Test temperatures The test temperatures shall be stated in requirement specifications, selected from the following: 55 C 70 C 85 C 100 C 8 Examination of the test

43、panel Carefully examine the test surface using the light source (5.8), for damage, e. g. discoloration, change in gloss and colour, blistering, swelling and other defects. For this purpose illuminate the surface separately and examine from different angles, directions and planes, including angle com

44、binations such that the light is reflected from the test surface and towards the observers eye. Viewing distance shall be 0,25 m to 1,0 m. Changes caused by the test shall also be determined by touching the surface. 9 Assessment of results Rate the test surfaces by comparing the test area with the a

45、rea surrounding it according to Table 1: Table 1 Descriptive numerical rating code Numerical rating Description 5 No change test area indistinguishable from adjacent surrounding area 4 Minor change test area distinguishable from adjacent surrounding area, only when the light source is mirrored on th
