Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national
standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is
normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a
subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on
that committee. International organizations, governmental and non‐governmental, in liaison with
ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance
are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria
needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in
accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the
subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in
the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received
(see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does
not constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the
following URL: www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 11,
Products.
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition (ISO 4586‐1:2015), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— correction of errors due to typographical, formatting, and omission issues.

3.1
high-pressure decorative laminate
HPL
HPDL
sheet consisting of layers of cellulosic fibrous material (normally paper) impregnated with
thermosetting resins and bonded together by the high-pressure process (3.2)
Note 1 to entry: This is a general definition of high‐pressure decorative laminate(s). More specific product
definitions can be found in ISO 4586‐3 to ISO 4586‐8.
3.2
high-pressure process
simultaneous application of heat (temperature ≥120 °C) and high specific pressure (≥5 MPa), to provide
flowing and subsequent curing of the thermosetting resins to obtain a homogeneous non‐porous
3
material with increased density (≥1,35 g/cm), and with the required surface finish
3.3
surface layer
upper decorative layer consisting in one or more sheets of fibrous material (usually paper)
impregnated with aminoplastic thermosetting resins (usually melamine based resins) or other curable
resins or other decorative design surfaces such as metal foils, wood‐veneers, and textiles, etc. which are
not necessarily treated with thermosetting resin
3.4
core layer
fibrous material (usually paper) impregnated with thermosetting resins (usually phenolic based resins)
or other curable resins, possibly reinforced by metal layer(s) or metal mesh(es) and others which are
not necessarily treated with thermosetting resin
4 Guidance in the use of the ISO 4586 series
4.1 Description of parts
ISO 4586‐2 describes the methods of test that shall be used to determine the performance of HPL
products in their various internal and external application fields, e.g. construction, transport, furniture,
flooring, etc. The test methods have been specifically developed for testing HPL.
It should be noted that not all test methods apply to all types of HPL. For example Test 12, resistance to
abrasion, applies only to flooring grade laminates; while Test 11, resistance to surface wear, applies to
all types of HPL except flooring grade laminates. It is therefore important to read the scope of the test
method to determine whether it is applicable to a particular HPL product.
ISO 4586‐3 to ISO 4586‐8 specify the performance requirements for different types of high‐pressure
decorative laminates. Each of these parts is independent of the others, and only requires reference to
ISO 4586‐2 for details of the appropriate test methods.
ISO 4586‐3 applies to laminates less than 2 mm thick intended for bonding to supporting substrates to
produce HPL composite panels. Classification systems and performance requirements are specified for
