12、 laminate floor coverings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This Amendment to the European Standard EN 15115:2006 shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2007, and conflicting national standards sh
13、all be withdrawn at the latest by June 2007. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,

EN 15115:2006 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method to determine the sensitivity of a textile
15、floor covering for change in colour or structure after water has been spilled on the surface. This change can be due to a real colour change or to a migration and concentration of chemicals from pre-coat or backing during the drying process. This concentration of chemicals on a part of the surface i
16、s one of the major causes of accelerated uneven soiling of textile floor covering. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the

19、ich is then left to dry. After drying the visibility of the water stain is assessed with grey scales. 4 Apparatus a) Calibrated cylinder, measuring 100 ml b) Large greyscales according to EN 20105-A02 c) Demineralised water, complying with Grade 3 of EN ISO 3696 5 Sampling and selection of test spec
20、imens Select a specimen of 500 mm 500 mm in accordance with ISO 1957. NOTE 1 Alternatively, if subsequent soiling is to be carried out, the specimen size could be chosen to fit the requirements and apparatus of the soiling method. NOTE 2 For patterned floor coverings or those with distinct areas of
21、differing construction, it may be necessary to carry out the test using multiple test specimens in order to assess the overall sensitivity of the floor covering to water spillages. EN 15115:2006 (E) 5 6 Atmosphere for conditioning and testing The specimens shall be conditioned for at least 24 h in t
22、he standard atmosphere for testing textiles specified in EN ISO 139 (20 2) C) / (65 2) % RH), prior to testing. The specimens shall be laid out singly, use-surface uppermost. 7 Procedure Place the specimen on a flat waterproof plate or support (preferably ceramic or plastic). From a maximum height o
23、f 15 cm, slowly pour 100 ml of the demineralised water onto the middle of the specimen in such a way that it does not drip off from the surface of the specimen but is completely absorbed into it. The water should be applied within (120 20) s. Leave the wet specimens on the flat waterproof support to
24、 dry in the standard atmosphere (for testing textiles) to constant weight (at least 48 h). 8 Evaluation Place the test specimen on the rotating observation table as defined in EN 1471 and use the observation conditions specified in EN 1471. Assess the difference between the stained and unstained are
25、a by means of the large greyscales and report the median of the individual results. 9 Test report The test report shall contain the following information: a reference to this European Standard, i.e. EN 15115; b complete identification of the product tested, including type, source, colour and manufac
26、turers reference numbers; c previous history of the sample; d median of assessment notes according to Clause 8; e any deviation from this standard which may have affected results.
