The recovery after indentation is calculated from the following formula:

recovery ×100 (1)

where
t is the thickness of the floor covering before applying the load;

t is the thickness after recovery for 150 min.

5 Wear and performance specification
The manufacturers shall provide a statement regarding the wear performance of the floor coverings,
conforming to the classification scheme established in EN ISO 10874 and based on their knowledge of
the formulation, physical test results, and extended wear trials carried out on floor coverings.
NOTE It is well established that there is little or no correlation if test results from an abrasion test are used to
assess how different polymer based floor coverings wear in service. This is particularly true if the floor coverings
under test are significantly different in formulation, and product construction.
Only floor coverings of similar composition can be compared for wear and durability using abrasion test
equipment.
Since floor coverings covered by this specification can vary significantly in formulation, and can be
based upon many different polymers, for floor coverings covered by this standard it is not possible to
use the results from laboratory abrasion tests for wear classification purposes.
Therefore, the customer can rely upon the integrity and legal responsibility of manufacturers for
meaningful wear performance.
6 Marking
Floor coverings covered by this standard and/or their packaging shall bear the following marking:
a) number and date of this document, i.e. EN 14565:2019;
b) manufacturer’s or supplier’s identification;
c) product name;
d) colour/pattern and batch and roll / package number if applicable;
e) classes/symbols appropriate for the product;
f) for rolls: the length, width and thickness;
g) for tiles: the dimensions of a tile and the area in square meters contained in a package.

(normative)

Method of test for resistance to scratching
A.1 Introduction
This method of test specifies a procedure to assess the appearance of scratches on resilient floor
covering surfaces under laboratory conditions.
A.2 Principle
A test piece mounted on a horizontal rotating plate is scratched by a defined steel pin. The pin may be
loaded with different weights. The load at which the pin causes an uninterrupted scratch of defined
characteristics is used for the ranking of the product.
A.3 Apparatus and materials
A.3.1 General
The item numbers in parentheses in A.3.2.3 to A.3.2.7 refer to Figure A.1.
A.3.2 General apparatus and materials
A.3.2.1 Stand, with a device to indicate the horizontal, e.g. a spirit level.
A.3.2.2 Scratch tester (Figure A.1), consisting of A.3.2.3 to A.3.2.7.
A.3.2.3 Turntable (4), freely rotating, motor-driven, for supporting the test piece, rotating around
its vertical axis at (35 ± 5) mm per second at the position where the scratch is made.
A.3.2.4 Clamping disc (6), to keep the test specimen flat.
A.3.2.5 Arm (5), with a holder for the steel pin (3), mounted on a ball bearing, with horizontal axis.
This arm is engraved with a scale (1) and is made adjustable in order to ensure that it is always
horizontal, independent of the thickness of the test piece, when the steel pin touches the surface of the
specimen.
A.3.2.6 Movable weight (2) that can be moved along the arm (5). The mass of the weight together
with the effective mass of the arm presses the steel pin onto the surface to be tested.
The force exerted on the steel pin shall be accurate to 0,01 N, when m
