Furniture - Assessment of the surface resistance to abrasion

This Technical Specification specifies a method for the assessment of the abrasion resistance of surfaces referred to under 7.4. It does not apply to finishes on leather and fabrics.It does not apply to the surfaces covered by EN 14434.The test is intended to be carried out on finished furniture, but can be carried out on test panels of the same material, finished in an identical manner to the finished product, and on a size sufficient to meet the requirements of the test. It is essential that the test be carried out on unused surfaces.

Möbel - Bewertung der Abriebfestigkeit von Oberflächen

Diese Technische Spezifikation legt ein Verfahren für die Bewertung der Abriebfestigkeit von Folien, Lamina-ten
und melamin-beschichteten Platten sowie Klarlacken oder pigmentierten Lacken fest.
Sie gilt nicht für behandelte Oberflächen aus Leder und Textilien.
Sie gilt nicht für die Oberflächen von Wandtafeln nach EN 14434.
Die Prüfung ist im Allgemeinen am gebrauchsfertigen Möbel durchzuführen, kann aber auch an Prüfkörpern
durchgeführt werden, die aus dem gleichen Werkstoff mit identischer Oberflächenbehandlung wie das fertige
Erzeugnis gefertigt wurden und groß genug sind, um den Anforderungen der Prüfung zu entsprechen.
Die Prüfung ist in jedem Fall an unbenutzten Oberflächen durchzuführen.

Ameublement - Evaluation de la résistance de la surface a l'abrasion

La présente Spécification technique prescrit une méthode d’évaluation de la résistance a l’abrasion des
panneaux stratifiés, surfacés, mélaminés ou revetus de films ainsi que des vernis ou laques.
Elle ne s’applique pas aux finitions appliquées sur le cuir et les textiles.
Elle ne s’applique pas aux surfaces traitées dans l’EN 14434.
L’essai est destiné a etre réalisé sur des meubles finis mais il peut etre effectué sur des panneaux d’essai de
dimensions suffisantes pour satisfaire aux spécifications de l'essai et du meme matériau et de finition
identique au meuble fini.
Il est essentiel que l’essai soit réalisé sur des surfaces neuves.

This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 1 October 2005 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia,

1 Scope
This Technical Specification specifies a method for the assessment of the abrasion resistance of foil, laminate
and melanine faced boards, and clear of pigmented lacquers.
It does not apply to finishes on leather and fabrics.
It does not apply to writing boards, covered by EN 14434.
The test is intended to be carried out on finished furniture, but can be carried out on test panels of the same

4 Principle
The test simulates the ability of the furniture surface under test, to resist abrasive wear-through. Abrasion is
achieved by rotating a specimen in contact with a pair of loaded cylindrical wheels covered with abrasive
paper. The wheels are positioned so that their cylindrical faces are equidistant from the specimen's axis of
rotation but not tangential to it. As they are turned by the rotating specimen they abrade an annular track on
the specimen's surface. The number of revolutions of the specimen required to cause one defined degree of
abrasion, is used as measurement of resistance to surface wear.
