Furniture - Assessment of the surface resistance to microscratching

CEN/TS 16611 specifies a method for the assessment of the surface resistance to microscratching and relates to rigid surfaces of all finished products regardless of materials. Method A is suitable for all types of surface coatings and coverings except for lacquers with pearly or metallic effects. Method B is suitable for all types of surface. It does not apply to finishes on leather and fabrics. The test is intended to be carried out on a part of 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. It is essential that the test shall be carried out on unused surfaces.

Möbel - Bestimmung der Mikrokratz-Beständigkeit von Möbel-Oberflächen

Diese Technische Spezifikation legt ein Verfahren für die Bewertung der Mikrokratzbeständigkeit fest. Sie gilt für starre Oberflächen aller fertigen Produkte unabhängig vom Material.
Verfahren A ist für alle Arten von Oberflächenbeschichtungen und  belägen geeignet, außer für Lacke mit Perlmutt  und Metalliceffekten.
Verfahren B ist für alle Oberflächenarten geeignet.
Die Spezifikation gilt nicht für Oberflächenbehandlungen auf Leder und Textilien.
Die Prüfung ist dafür vorgesehen, an einem Teil des gebrauchsfertigen Möbels durchgeführt zu werden. Sie kann aber auch an Prüfkörpern erfolgen, die aus demselben Material mit identischer Oberflächen¬behandlung wie das fertige Produkt hergestellt wurden und groß genug sind, um den Prüfanforderungen zu entsprechen.
Die Prüfung muss auf unbenutzten Oberflächen durchgeführt werden.

Ameublement - Évaluation de la résistance des surfaces aux micro-rayures

La présente Spécification technique spécifie une méthode d’évaluation de la résistance des surfaces aux micro rayures ; elle concerne les surfaces rigides de tous les produits finis quels que soient les matériaux.
La méthode A convient pour tous les types de revêtements de surface et de revêtements, à l'exception des laques à effet nacré ou métallique.
La méthode B convient pour tous les types de surfaces.
Elle ne s’applique pas aux finitions des cuirs et des tissus.
L’essai est destiné à être réalisé sur une partie d’un meuble fini, mais il peut être effectué sur des panneaux d’essai du même matériau, dans le même état de finition que le produit fini et d’une dimension suffisante pour satisfaire aux exigences de l’essai.
Il est essentiel que l’essai soit réalisé sur des surfaces neuves.

Pohištvo - Ocenjevanje odpornosti površine proti mikrorazenju

CEN/TS 16611 določa metodo za ocenjevanje odpornosti površine proti mikrorazenju in se nanaša na trdne površine vseh končanih izdelkov ne glede na material. Metoda A je primerna za vse vrste površinskih premazov in oblog, razen za lake z bisernim ali kovinskim učinkom. Metoda B je primerna za vse vrste površin. Ne velja za zaključke iz usnja in blaga. Preskus naj bi se izvedel na delu končanega kosa pohištva, lahko pa se izvede tudi na preskusnih ploščah iz istega materiala, ki so obdelane na identičen način kot končan izdelek in dovolj velike, da ustrezajo zahtevam preskusa. Pomembno je, da se preskus izvede na nerabljenih površinah.

figure created by movement which ranges changes from a circle gradually narrowing ellipses, until it becomes

4 Principle
The test surface shall be fixed on a horizontal table. A circular scrub material fixed on a holder impacts on the
test surface with a defined load. Table and holder shall be moved perpendicular to each other, in a
translational movement, with defined frequencies, tracing a Lissajous figure. The holder is additionally freely
rotatable around its own axis perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
The test surface is exposed to the scrub material for a predetermined number of rubs. The changes of the
surface are determined by gloss measurement or visual assessment.
5 Apparatus and materials
5.1 Martindale tester
The Martindale tester shall be as described in EN ISO 12947-1 with the following exceptions:
 the “Abrading table” is the table for the test surface;
 the “clamping ring and mechanism” is not necessary;
 the “specimen holder” is the holder for the scrub material;
 the “loading pieces” are not necessary.
5.2 Holder for scrub material
The holder for scrub material shall be as described in EN ISO 12945-2, with the following exceptions:
 consists of a guide plate with an inner diameter of (90 ± 0,5) mm, a large ring weight and a spindle with
an overall weight (612 ± 2) g (nominally called 6 N).
5.3 Diffuse light source, which provides evenly diffused light giving an illumination on the test surface of
(1 200 ± 400) lx.
This may either be diffuse daylight or diffuse artificial daylight.
The daylight should be unaffected by surrounding trees, buildings, etc. When artificial light is used it is
recommended that it should have a correlated colour temperature of (6 500 ± 50) K and an R greater than
a
92, by using a colour matching booth in accordance with EN ISO 3668:2001 [1].
