19、cope This European Standard specifies a method for the assessment of the resistance to dry heat of all rigid furniture surfaces regardless of materials. It 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 o
20、ut 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 test. The test should be carried out on unused surfaces. !deleted text“ 2 Normative references !The following documents, in whole or in part, are

After a specified period of time the block is removed. The test surface is wiped dry and the test panel left undisturbed for at least 16 h. It is th
26、en examined under specified lighting conditions for signs of damage (discolouration, change in gloss and colour, blistering, swelling or other defects). Assessment of the test results in terms of a descriptive numerical rating code. 5 Apparatus and materials 5.1 Thermometer As specified in ISO 1770:
27、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 as shown in Figure 1 manufactured from aluminium alloy according to ISO 209:2007, Al Mg Si (alloy shall c
28、ontain 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 For this document, the following tolerances are applicable: Dimensions: 0,2 mm of the nominal dimension; Angl
29、es: 2 of the nominal angle. BS EN 12722:2009+A1:2013 EN 12722:2009+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 than the test temperature. 5.4 Cleaning cloth White soft absorbent cloth. 5.5
30、 Heat-insulating foam A melamine foam, with the following characteristics: density between 8,5 kg/m3and 11,5 kg/m3; heat conductivity, less than 0,035 W/mK. The foam shall withstand at a temperature higher than 200 C. 5.6 Diffuse light source Light source providing evenly diffused light, giving an i
31、llumination on the test surface of (1200 400) lx. This may either be diffused daylight or be diffused artificial daylight. NOTE The daylight should be unaffected by surrounding trees, etc. When artificial daylight is used it is recommended that it should have a correlated colour temperature of (6 50
32、0 50) K and an Ragreater than 92, by using a colour matching booth in accordance with EN ISO 3668:2001. 1 BS EN 12722:2009+A1:2013 EN 12722:2009+A1:2013 (E)7 6 Preparation and conditioning 6.1 Conditioning Conditioning of test surface shall begin at least one week before testing and shall be carried
33、 out in air at a temperature 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 of a size sufficient to meet the requirements of Clause 7. 7 Test procedure 7.1 Testing Immediately
34、after conditioning, the 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 su
35、rfaces and the edges of 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. Th
36、e test surface shall be lightly wiped with a cleaning cloth (5.4) before the test. 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 (5.5). Place the thermometer (5.1) or other means
37、 of measuring temperature 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. When the heat source reaches the specified test temperature with an
38、accuracy of 1 C, immediately place it on the test surface. After 20 min in this position, remove the block. Wipe the test surface dry with the cleaning cloth 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 24
39、h. Wipe each test surface with the cleaning cloth (5.4) and examine the test panel. 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 120 C 140 C 160 C 180 C 200 C BS EN 12722:2009+A1:2013 EN 12722:2009+A1:201
40、3 (E)8 8 Examination of the test panel Carefully examine the test surface, with light coming from all directions, for damage, e.g. discoloration, change in gloss and colour, blistering, swelling and other defects. For this purpose illuminate the surface separately using the light source (5.6) and ex
41、amine from different angles, including angle combinations 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 tes
42、t surfaces by comparing the test area with the area 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 ar
43、ea, only when the light source is mirrored on the test surface and is reflected towards the observers eye, e. g. discoloration, change in gloss and colour no change in the surface structure, e.g. deformation, swelling, fibre raising, cracking, blistering 3 Moderate change test area distinguishable f
44、rom adjacent surrounding area, visible in several viewing directions, e. g. discoloration, change in gloss and colour no change in the surface structure, e.g., swelling, fibre raising, cracking, blistering 2 Significant change test area clearly distinguishable from adjacent surrounding area, visible
45、 in all viewing directions, e. g. discoloration, change in gloss and colour, and / or structure of the surface slightly changed, e.g. swelling, fibre raising, cracking, blistering 1Strong change the structure of the surface being distinctly changed and / or discoloration, change in gloss and colour,
46、 and / or the surface material being totally or partially removed Each test surface shall be rated by an experienced observer. In cases of doubt, three observers shall be required. All observers shall have good colour vision. In case of three observers, the reported rating for the test surface shall
47、 be the average to the nearest nominal value. Duplicate tests shall be assessed and reported separately. 10 Test report The test report shall include at least the following information: BS EN 12722:2009+A1:2013 EN 12722:2009+A1:2013 (E)9 a) reference to this European Standard; b) description of the
