83.140.20 - Laminated sheets

This European Standard specifies the methods of test for determination of the properties of high-pressure decorative laminates as defined in Clause 3. These methods are primarily intended for testing the sheets specified in EN 438-3, EN 438-4, EN 438-5, EN 438-6, EN 438-8, and EN 438-9.
The precision of the test methods, specified in this European Standard, is not known because inter-laboratory data are not yet available. When inter-laboratory data will be obtained, precision statements will be...view more

This European Standard specifies performance requirements for design laminates intended for interior use with a design effect surface having a phenolic based core and a decorative surface, not covered by EN 438 3 [1], EN 438 4 [2], EN 438 5 [3] and EN 438 6 [5]. Three surface layer types (metal, wood veneer and pearlescent decor) are defined in this part of EN 438.
EN 438 2 specifies the test methods relevant to this part of EN 438.

This document applies to exterior-grade compact laminates of thickness 2 mm and greater. It specifies requirements for standard and flame-retardant laminates intended for use under outdoor weather conditions such as direct sunlight, rain, and frost. Two levels of performance are specified; one for moderate exterior conditions, and the other for severe exterior conditions. ISO 4586‑2 specifies the methods of test relevant to this document.

This document applies to five classes of flooring grade laminates less than 2 mm thick intended for bonding to supporting substrates, to produce high-pressure decorative laminates (HPL, HPDL) flooring elements. For laminate floor covering applications they meet the surface property requirements specified in EN 13329[2]. The requirements in this document apply only to the high-pressure laminate, and additional properties are intended to be specified in order to define the functional performance o...view more

This document specifies performance requirements for high-pressure decorative laminates (HPL, HPDL) intended for interior use that have core compositions not covered by ISO 4586‑1 through ISO 4586‑7. The core composition types (coloured core and metal reinforced core) are defined in this document. ISO 4586‑2 specifies the methods of test relevant to this document.

This document is applicable to high-pressure decorative laminates (HPL, HPDL) as defined in Clause 3. This document gives an overview of the ISO 4586 series, and provides guidance in the selection and application of test methods and specifications contained in ISO 4586‑2 to ISO 4586‑8.

This document specifies the methods of test for determination of the properties of high-pressure decorative laminates (HPL, HPDL) as defined in Clause 3.

This document applies to laminates intended for interior use with a design effect surface having a phenolic based core and a decorative surface, not covered by ISO 4586‑3 through ISO 4586‑6 and ISO 4586‑8. Three surface material types (metal, wood veneer, and pearlescent décor) are defined in this document. ISO 4586‑2 specifies the methods of test relevant to this document.

This document specifies performance requirements for compact laminate (defined in Clause 4) of thickness 2 mm or greater intended for interior use. ISO 4586‑2 specifies the methods of test relevant to this document.

This document applies to high-pressure laminates (HPL) less than 2 mm thick normally intended for bonding to supporting substrates to produce HPL composite panels and establishes a classification system for high-pressure decorative laminates according to their performance and main recommended fields of application, including materials with special characteristics, for example formability or defined reaction to fire. This document also specifies requirements for the properties of the various type...view more

This document specifies the requirements related to dimensional, mechanical, optical and thermal characteristics of thermoplastic films for mulching applications in agriculture and horticulture.
