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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 19712-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 11, Products.
ISO 19712 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics — Decorative solid surfacing
materials:
⎯ Part 1: Classification and specifications
⎯ Part 2: Determination of properties — Sheet goods
⎯ Part 3: Determination of properties — Solid surface shapes

ISO 19712-3:2007(E)
Introduction
This part of ISO 19712 is intended for use by manufacturers, installers and specifiers of solid surfacing
materials.
The test methods and minimum performance values presented have been related as closely as possible to
end-use applications. The fabrication techniques employed may, however, have a bearing on product
performance and service.
The performance requirements include impact resistance, structure, renewability, colourfastness, cleanability,
stain resistance, water resistance, chemical resistance, bacterial and fungal resistance, and other significant
properties.

SAFETY STATEMENT — Persons using this document should be familiar with normal laboratory
practice, if applicable. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any,
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health
practices and to ensure compliance with any regulatory conditions.
1 Scope
This part of ISO 19712 specifies the methods of test for determination of the properties of solid surfacing
materials, as defined in Clause 3, in the form of shaped products. These methods are primarily intended for
testing the materials specified in ISO 19712-1.
The tests may be carried out on finished products, but are generally carried out on test panels of a size
sufficient to meet the requirements of the test, and of the same material and finish as the finished product.
