25、05 (E) 4 1 Scope This part of EN 438 specifies the methods of test for determination of the properties of high-pressure decorative laminates as defined in Clause 3. These methods are primarily intended for testing the sheets specified in EN 438-3, 4, 5 and 6. The precision of the test methods specif

26、ied in Clauses 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 17, 18, 32 and 33 of this part of EN 438 is not known because inter-laboratory data are not available. When inter-laboratory data are obtained, precision statements will be added to the test methods at the following revision. As all the other test methods have an en

27、d point determination based on subjective judgement, it is not meaningful to make a statement of precision in these cases. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

33、plies: 3.1 high-pressure decorative laminate(s) (HPL) sheet(s) consisting of layers of cellulosic fibrous material (normally paper) impregnated with thermosetting resins and bonded together by the high pressure process described below The high pressure process is defined as the simultaneous applicat

34、ion of heat (temperature 120 C) and high specific pressure ( 5 MPa), to provide flowing and subsequent curing of the thermosetting resins to obtain a homogeneous non-porous material with increased density ( 1,35 g/cm), and with the required surface finish. 4 Assessment of appearance 4.1 Principle La

35、minates shall be inspected for surface appearance under standardised conditions of lighting and viewing. 4.2 Apparatus 4.2.1 Horizontal inspection table, of height approximately 700 mm and large enough to accommodate the largest sheets to be inspected. 4.2.2 Overhead white fluorescent lights, of col

36、our temperature approximately 5000 K and giving an intensity of 800 to 1000 lux over the whole area of the largest sheets to be inspected. A convenient distance of the lights from the inspection table is approximately 1,5 m. 4.3 Test specimen The specimen shall be the laminate under test, as supplie

37、d by the manufacturer. 4.4 Procedure Place the laminate, decorative face uppermost, on the inspection table. Wipe it free of any loose contamination with a soft cloth, using a suitable cleaning agent if necessary. Inspect it from the distance required by the relevant part of EN 438 for defects such

38、as smudges, smears, fingerprints, scratches, foreign particles, damage or any other form of blemish evident within the decorative surface. The inspector shall use normal vision, corrected if necessary. 4.5 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) reference to this part

39、 of EN 438; b) name, type and nominal thickness of the product; c) size of the laminate under test; d) viewing distance; e) total area of spot-type defects in square millimetres; f) total length of hair-like defects in millimetres; g) any deviation from the specified test method; EN 438-2:2005 (E) 6

40、 h) date of the test. 5 Determination of thickness 5.1 Principle The thickness of a laminate is measured using a micrometer or a dial gauge indicator. 5.2 Apparatus Thickness gauge, (ratchet-type micrometer or dial gauge indicator), having two flat parallel measuring surfaces of diameter 6 mm and ca

41、pable of being read to 0,01 mm. When the thickness of a decorative laminate is being measured, the two surfaces shall exert a pressure of 10 to 100 kPa upon each other. 5.3 Test specimen The specimen shall be the laminate under test, as supplied by the manufacturer. 5.4 Procedure Check the gauge for

42、 accuracy and then determine the thickness of the laminate to the nearest 0,01 mm. The thickness shall be measured at the centre of each edge, at a distance of at least 20 mm from the edge of the sheet. 5.5 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) reference to this par

43、t of EN 438; b) name, type and nominal thickness of the product; c) all values measured; d) any deviation from the specified test method; e) date of the test. 6 Determination of length and width 6.1 Principle Measuring the length and width of the laminate using a metal tape or rule. 6.2 Apparatus St

44、eel tape or rule, of sufficient length to measure the greatest dimension of the laminate, and graduated to allow a reading accuracy of 1 mm. 6.3 Test specimen The specimen shall be the laminate under test, as supplied by the manufacturer. 6.4 Procedure Apply the steel tape or rule (see 6.2) to each

45、edge of the laminate in turn, on a line approximately 25 mm from and parallel to the edge. Measure the length on each edge to the nearest 1 mm. EN 438-2:2005 (E) 7 6.5 Expression of results The arithmetical means of the pairs of length and width measurements shall be calculated and expressed to the

46、nearest 1 mm as the length and width of the laminate. 6.6 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) reference to this part of EN 438; b) name, type and nominal thickness of the product; c) length and width values; d) any deviation from the specified test method; e) date

47、 of the test. 7 Determination of edge straightness 7.1 Principle Applying a metal straightedge to the edge of the laminate and measuring the deviation of the sheet edge from the metal straightedge using a steel rule. 7.2 Apparatus 7.2.1 Metal straightedge, of 1000 mm length. 7.2.2 Steel rule, gradua

48、ted in 0,5 mm divisions. 7.3 Test specimen The specimen shall be the laminate under test, as supplied by the manufacturer. 7.4 Procedure Apply the metal straightedge (see 7.2.1) to each edge of the laminate in turn, and use the steel rule (see 7.2.2) to measure the maximum deviation of the edge of t

49、he laminate from the metal straightedge (x in Figure 1) to the nearest 0,5 mm. EN 438-2:2005 (E) 8 Key 1 Metal straightedge 2 Laminate Figure 1 Edge straightness measurement 7.5 Expression of results The maximum deviation from the metal straightedge shall be recorded for each of the four edges. Results shall be designated (+) if the edge is convex, and (-) if the edge is concave. 7.6 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a)
