40、igher forces may be required and shall be specified by the manufacturer of the floor covering. EN 14565:2004 (E) 8 4.2 Calculation of recovery after indention The recovery after indentation is calculated from the following expression: 100 recovery 0 1 = t twhere t 0is the thickness of the floor cove
41、ring before applying the load; t 1 is the thickness after recovery for 150 minutes. 5 Wear and performance specification The manufacturers shall provide a statement regarding the wear performance of the floor coverings, conforming to the classification scheme established in EN 685 and based on their
42、 knowledge of the formulation, physical test results, and extended wear trials carried out on floor coverings. NOTE It is well established that there is little or no correlation, if test results from an abrasion test are used to assess how different polymer based floor coverings wear in service. Thi
43、s is particularly true if the floor coverings under test are significantly different in formulation, and product construction. Only floor coverings of similar composition can be compared for wear and durability using abrasion test equipment. Since floor coverings covered by this specification can va
44、ry significantly in formulation, and can be based upon many different polymers, for floor coverings covered by this standard it is not possible to use the results from laboratory abrasion tests for wear classification purposes. Therefore, the customer shall rely upon the integrity and legal responsi
45、bility of manufacturers for meaningful wear performance. 6 Marking Floor coverings covered by this standard and/or their packaging shall bear the following marking: a) number and date of this European Standard, i.e. EN 14565:2004; b) manufacturers or suppliers identification; c) product name; d) col
46、our/pattern and batch and roll / package number if applicable; e) classes/symbols appropriate for the product; f) for rolls: the length, width and thickness; g) for tiles: the dimensions of a tile and the area in square meters contained in a package. EN 14565:2004 (E) 9 Annex A (normative) Method of
47、 test for resistance to scratching A.1 Introduction This method of test specifies a procedure to assess the appearance of scratches on resilient floor covering surfaces under laboratory conditions. A.2 Principle A test piece mounted on a horizontal rotating plate is scratched by a defined steel pin.
48、 The pin can be loaded with different weights. The load at which the pin causes an uninterrupted scratch of defined characteristics is used for the ranking of the product. A.3 Apparatus and materials A.3.1 General NOTE The item numbers in parentheses in A.3.2.1 to A.3.2.6 refer to Figure A.1. A.3.2 Scratch tester (Figure A.1), consisting of A.3.2.1 to A.3.2.6.
