BS EN 13329:2016EN 13329:2016 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies characteristics, requirements and test methods for laminate floor coverings with a surface layer based on aminoplastic thermosetting resins as defined in 3.1 and 3.2. It also specifies requirements for mark
30、ing and packaging. It includes a classification system, based on EN ISO 10874, giving practical requirements for areas of use and levels of use, to indicate where laminate floor coverings will give satisfactory service and to encourage the consumer to make an informed choice. Laminate floor covering
31、s are considered for domestic and commercial levels of use, including domestic kitchens. This standard does not specify requirements relating to areas which are subjected to frequent wetting, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms or saunas. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in p

40、erms and definitions apply. 3.1 laminate floor covering rigid floor covering, typically in a plank or tile format, with a multiple layer structure: e.g. backer, substrate, dcor and worked edges that allow the product to be joined together to form a larger integral unit Note 1 to entry: Laminate floo
41、ring does not include products having a resilient, stone, textile, wood, leather or metal top surfacing material(s). 3.2 surface layer based on aminoplastic thermosetting resins upper decorative layer, which may vary in surface texture and gloss level, consisting of one or more thin sheets of a fibr
42、ous material (usually paper), impregnated with aminoplastic, thermosetting resins (usually melamine) Note 1 to entry: By the simultaneous action of heat and pressure, these sheets are either pressed as such (HPL, CPL, Compact), and in the case of HPL and CPL bonded on a substrate (usually wood-based
43、 panels), or in the case of DPL directly pressed on a substrate (usually wood-based panels). The product is usually finished with a backer (e.g. HPL, CPL, impregnated papers), primarily used as a balancing material. 3.3 substrate core material of the laminate floor covering Note 1 to entry: It is ge
44、nerally a particleboard, as defined in EN 309, or a dry process fibreboard (MDF) as defined in EN 316 or a so called High Density Fibreboard (HDF) which is a MDF-board with a density 800 kg/m3. 3.4 backer layer opposite to the surface layer used to balance and stabilize the product Note 1 to entry:
45、The backer is generally made of impregnated papers. 3.5 underlay layer placed between the laminate floor covering and the subfloor to impart specific properties BS EN 13329:2016EN 13329:2016 (E) 7 Note 1 to entry: Some laminate floor covering products have the underlay pre-attached directly to the b
