Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsibl
20、e for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.

When needed, the longitudinal or transverse direction of the decorative surface shall b
28、e specified by the manufacturer for the tests on the products. 4 Conditioning of test pieces Unless specified otherwise for the individual tests, the test pieces shall be tested in the received state. In cases of dispute or for type approval, the test pieces shall be conditioned in an atmosphere of
29、(23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity to constant mass prior to testing. 5 Test methods 5.1 Dimensions (thickness, length and width) These properties shall be determined in accordance with EN 324-1. 5.2 Flatness 5.2.1 Principle Flatness is determined by measuring the maximal deviation of the board
30、 surface from a metal straight edge placed at two selected positions parallel to the long and short edges of the board or panel. 5.2.2 Apparatus Straight edge, of (1 000 1) mm length, with dial indicator gauge (comparator) graduated to permit a reading accuracy of 0,1 mm. BS EN 14323:2017EN 14323:20
31、17 6 5.2.3 Test pieces The test piece shall be the complete board under test, as received, stored in the conditions recommended by the manufacturer. 5.2.4 Procedure Place the board in a vertical position free from restraint with one long edge resting on an essentially horizontal floor. Place the fla
32、tness gauge on the concave surface at various positions. At each position, measure the greatest distance between board surface and the flatness gauge with an accuracy of 0,1 mm. 5.2.5 Expression of results The result of the test is the highest recorded reading on the dial gauge in millimetres to the
33、 nearest 0,1 mm. 5.3 Edge damage 5.3.1 Principle Edge damage is determined by placing a graduated mask or tape measure on the board or panel under test and measuring the size of chips of paper removed from the edges. 5.3.2 Apparatus A metal tape measure or mask graduated in divisions of 1 mm. 5.3.3
34、Test pieces The test piece is the board or panel as received. 5.3.4 Procedure The test piece is laid level on a protective surface. Loose surface contamination is to be removed using a soft brush. Using the metal tape measure or the mask the size of the chip is measured at right angles to the board
35、edge, across the chip towards the centre of the board. 5.3.5 Expression of results Record the dimensions of the largest chip of paper removed to the nearest millimetre (mm). 5.4 Surface defects 5.4.1 Principle Inspection of boards for surface appearance under standardized conditions of lighting and
36、viewing. Surface defects are larger than 0,8 mm2and those that can be identified when the surface texture is viewed from a distance of 0,7 m and at an angle about of 45. 5.4.2 Apparatus The light source shall provide a diffused illumination of (1 200 400) lx over the whole area. This may either be d
37、iffused daylight or be diffused artificial light. The daylight shall be unaffected by surrounding trees, etc. When artificial daylight is used, it shall have a correlated colour temperature of (5 000 to 6 500) K and a Ra greater than 92, by using a colour matching booth in accordance with EN ISO 366
38、8. A convenient distance of the lights from the inspection table is approximately 1,5 m. BS EN 14323:2017EN 14323:2017 7 5.4.3 Test pieces The test piece shall be the board under test, as received. 5.4.4 Procedure Place the board, decorative face uppermost, on the inspection table and wipe it free o
39、f any loose contamination, if necessary, with a soft cloth and any suitable cleaning agent if necessary. Inspect it from the distance required (specified in 5.4.1) for defects such as smudges, smears, finger-prints, scratches, foreign particles, damage or any other form of blemish evident within the
40、 decorative surface. In case of cut to size panels the inspection shall be performed on the edges too. The evaluation of the total area of spot-type defects in square millimetres and of the total length of hair-like defects in millimetres may be carried out with the help of the Tappi Size Estimation
41、 Chart1)or with an equivalent system. In case of dispute the inspection shall be carried out by three observers using the Tappi Chart or an equivalent system. The inspector shall have normal vision, corrected if necessary. No magnifying glass shall be used in viewing the sheet. In cases of doubt or
42、dispute, three observers are required for the visual assessment. All observers shall have good colour vision. In case of three observers, the reported rating for the test surface shall be the average to the nearest nominal value. 5.4.5 Expression of results Record all defects identifying type, numbe
43、r and size of defects and sum up surfaces and length. The admissible size of defects is based on a maximum contamination area equivalent to a unit of defects and is proportional to the standard delivery size of the manufacturer. The total admissible area of contamination may be concentrated in one s
44、pot or dispersed over an amount of smaller defects. In case of pre-cut panels the cumulative defect is referred to the standard delivery sizes of the manufacturers or amount of delivery. EXAMPLE Permitted unit of defect (see EN 14322) in this sample is 2 mm2/m2Standard delivery size of the manufactu
45、rer: 5 000 mm 2 000 mm Points: The permissible total error (TE) is calculated as follows: TE = Board length Board width Permitted unit of defect = 5 000 mm 2 000 mm 2 mm2/m2= 20 mm2The following errors are therefore permitted: 1 20mm2defect,or 2 10mm2defect,or 3 6,6 mm2defect etc. Length: The permis
46、sible total error (TE) is calculated as follows: TE = Board length Board width Permitted unit of defect = 5000 mm 2000 mm 20 mm/m2= 200 mm 1)“Tappi Size Estimation Chart” is the trade name of a product supplied by TAPPI, Technology Park, P.O.

49、ry. The resistance to scratching of the melamine faced board under test is expressed as a numerical rating which defines the minimum applied load which is producing a continuous surface scratch. The test result is verified by visually confirming that the next higher load-step produces a continuous scratch. 5.5.2 Apparatus Scratch testing apparatus and viewing enclosure as described in EN 438-2:2016, 25.3. 5.5.3 Test pieces Cut a test piece 100 mm 100 mm from the board under test.
