Furniture - Assessment of the surface reflectance

This document specifies a method for the assessment of the surface reflectance of furniture surfaces and relates to rigid surfaces of all finished products regardless of materials, except for finishes on leather and fabrics, which are excluded from this document.
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 of a size sufficient to meet the requirements of the test.
The test method is not applicable to some metallic paints and pearly coatings.

Möbel - Bewertung des Oberflächenreflexionsgrades

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bewertung des Oberflächenreflexionsgrades von Möbeloberflächen fest und bezieht sich auf starre Oberflächen aller fertigen Produkte unabhängig von den Werkstoffen; nicht von diesem Dokument erfasst sind Oberflächenbehandlungen auf Leder und Textilien.
Dieses Dokument ist für die Prüfung anwendbar, die für die Durchführung am gebrauchsfertigen Möbel vorgesehen ist, aber auch an Prüfkörpern durchgeführt werden kann, die aus dem gleichen Werkstoff mit identischer Oberflächenbehandlung wie das Möbel bestehen und groß genug sind, um den Anforderungen der Prüfung zu entsprechen.
Das Prüfverfahren ist bei einigen Metallic- und Perlmuttlackierungen nicht anwendbar.

No Scope Available

Pohištvo - Ocenjevanje odbojnosti površine

Ta dokument določa metodo za ocenjevanje odbojnosti površin pohištva in se navezuje na trdne površine vseh končanih izdelkov ne glede na material, razen za zaključke iz usnja in blaga, ki so izključeni iz tega dokumenta.
Preskus naj bi se izvedel na končanem kosu pohištva, izvesti pa ga je mogoče tudi na preskusnih ploščah iz istega materiala, ki so obdelane na identičen način kot končan izdelek in dovolj velike, da ustrezajo zahtevam preskusa.
Preskusna metoda se ne uporablja za nekatere kovinske barve in biserne premaze.
