17、1:2016 (E) 4 1 Scope This Technical Specification specifies a method for the assessment of the surface resistance to microscratching and relates to rigid surfaces of all finished products regardless of materials. Method A is suitable for all types of surface coatings and coverings except for lacquer
18、s with pearly or metallic effects. Method B is suitable for all types of surface. It does not apply to finishes on leather and fabrics. The test is intended to be carried out on a part of finished furniture, but can be carried out on test panels of the same material, finished in an identical manner
19、to the finished product, and of a size sufficient to meet the requirements of the test. It is essential that the test is carried out on unused surfaces. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its appl
20、ication. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

25、e, from which progressively widening ellipses develop, in a diagonally opposite direction before the pattern is repeated 4 Principle The test surface shall be fixed on a horizontal table. A circular scrub material fixed on a holder impacts on the test surface with a defined load. Table and holder sh
26、all be moved perpendicular to each other, in a translational movement, with defined frequencies, tracing a Lissajous figure. The holder is additionally freely rotatable around its own axis perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The test surface is exposed to the scrub material for a predetermined nu
27、mber of rubs. The changes of the surface are determined by gloss measurement or visual assessment. 5 Apparatus and materials 5.1 Martindale tester The Martindale tester shall be as described in EN ISO 12947-1 with the following exceptions: the “Abrading table” is the table for the test surface; the

29、plate with an inner diameter of (90 0,5) mm, a large ring weight and a spindle with an overall weight (612 2) g (nominally called 6 N). 5.3 Diffuse light source Light source providing evenly diffused light giving an illumination on the test surface of (1200 400) lx. This may either be diffuse daylig
30、ht or be diffuse artificial daylight. The daylight should be unaffected by surrounding trees, buildings, etc. When artificial light is used it is recommended that it can have a correlated colour temperature of (6500 50) K and an R a greater than 92, by using a colour matching booth in accordance wit

37、he tester shall be carried out in accordance with the instructions of the apparatus manufacturer. For the described test, the outer position C shall be used for both axes to create the larger Lissajous figure as explained in EN ISO 12947-1 or the manufacture guidebook. The checking of the Lissajous
38、figure shall be done according to Annex A. 7 Preparation and conditioning 7.1 Conditioning Conditioning of test surface shall begin at least one week before testing and shall be carried out in air at a temperature of (23 2) C and relative humidity of (50 5) %. The conditioning time shall be stated i
39、n the test report. NOTE Some finishing systems cannot have achieved full cure after one week conditioning. 7.2 Test surface Six test surfaces with dimensions of 150 mm x 150 mm shall be prepared. The test surface shall be carefully wiped with a cleaning cloth (5.8) before the test without scratching
40、 the surface. The test surface shall be substantially flat. 8 Test procedure 8.1 General Two different procedures (A / B) are described.

In this case, 3 test surfaces shall be taken from reference high gloss HPL (5.9). The batch of ultra fine scr
43、ub materials shall be used for testing if the mean value of gloss change, determined with 20 reflectometer geometry, is in the range from 15 % to 30 % according to EN ISO 2813. 8.2.1.2 Microscratching of test area Immediately after conditioning, the test shall be carried out in a test temperature of
44、 (23 2) C at 3 test surfaces. Before the test, 4 gloss measurements on each test surface using the reflectometer (5.4) with a geometry of 60 and the positioning device (5.5) shall be carried out. If there is a decor or preferential structure direction on the test surface the measurement shall be don
45、e parallel to this direction. Calculate the mean value for each test surface. If the mean value is higher than 70 (high gloss surface) additional four measurements with the 20 geometry shall be carried out. Fix the test surface on the table of the Martindale tester using the adhesive tape (5.7). The
46、 ultra fine scrub material shall be fixed with the adhesive tape on the guide plate of holder. Select 80 rubs on the counter of the Martindale device and start the test. After finishing remove the test surface from the table and clean it with the cleaning cloth (5.8). Remove also the used scrub mate
47、rial. Measure the gloss again with the chosen geometry according to the above described procedure. Calculate for each test surface the gloss change R according to the following formula: = 100 RI RF R RI% (1) where RI is the mean value at initial state; RF is the value after finishing the test. Calcu
48、late the mean value of the gloss change of the 3 test surfaces and round it on the next integral number. 8.2.2 Procedure B 8.2.2.1 Calibration of very fine scrub material Procedure B is also valid for checking of every new batch of very fine scrub materials (5.6). In this case, 3 test surfaces shall
49、 be taken from reference high gloss HPL (5.9). The batch of very fine scrub materials shall be used for testing if the mean value of scratch pictures is 3 or 4 (Annex B). 8.2.2.2 Microscratching of test area Immediately after conditioning, the test shall be carried out in a test temperature of (23 2) C at 3 test surfaces.
