High-pressure decorative laminates (HPL) - Sheets based on thermosetting resins (usually called laminates) - Part 4: Classification and specifications for compact laminates of thickness 2 mm and greater
This European Standard specifies performance requirements for two types of compact laminate of thickness 2 mm or greater produced by using a high pressure process intended for interior use .
High-pressure decorative Compact laminates are characterised by their aesthetic qualities, strength, durability and functional performance. Compact HPL sheets are available in a wide variety of colours, patterns and surface finishes; they are extremely strong, and resistant to wear, impact, scratching, moisture, heat and staining; and possess good hygienic and anti-static properties, being easy to clean and maintain.
EN 438-2 specifies the methods of test relevant to this European Standard.

L’EN 438-2 spécifie les méthodes d’essai correspondant à la présente Norme européenne.
Dekorativni visokotlačni laminati (HPL) - Plošče na osnovi duromernih smol - 4. del: Razvrstitev in specifikacije za 2 mm in več debele kompaktne laminate
Ta del standarda EN 438 določa zahteve glede učinkovitosti za dve vrsti kompaktnih laminatov z debelino vsaj 2 mm, ki so izdelani z visokotlačnim postopkom in namenjeni samo za notranjo uporabo.
Za kompaktne dekorativne visokotlačne laminate so značilne estetska kakovost, trdnost, trajnost in funkcionalne lastnosti. Kompaktne dekorativne visokotlačne laminatne plošče so na voljo v številnih barvah ter s številnimi vzorci in premazi, so izjemno trpežne in odporne na vodo, praske, udarce, toploto in madeže ter imajo dobre higienske in antistatične lastnosti, zaradi česar so preproste za čiščenje in vzdrževanje.
EN 438-2 določa preskusne metode, ustrezne za ta del standarda EN 438.

G (general purpose) S (standard grade) or F (flame-retardant grade) Type CGS Standard grade decorative Compact laminates are specified as HPL/EN 438-4/CGS. Type CGF Decorative Compact laminates with improved fire retardance are similar to type CGS but also meeting special requirements of specified tests which may vary according to the application (e.g. construction, marine, transport) and the country of use (see 6.4.2 and Annex A). Specified as HPL/EN 438-4/CGF. Other laminates having special characteristics are also available but these products are outside the scope of this part of the standard. 5 Characteristics and applications HPL Compact laminates have the following characteristics: —
Attractive aesthetic qualities; —
High mechanical strength; —
Durability (high resistance to impact, wear and scratching); —
Good dimensional stability; —
High resistance to the effects of water, steam, heat and frost; —
Non-corrosive; —
Good colour fastness; —
Easy to clean and maintain (good anti-graffiti properties); —
Hygienic; —
Good chemical resistance; SIST EN 438-4:2016
No dust attraction; —
Ease of installation; —
Good fire performance. Typical applications include wall cladding, partitions, doors, cubicles, lockers, laboratory bench tops, and various self-supporting components in construction, marine and transport industries. When Compact laminates are self-supporting they are ready for installation and only require cutting to size, drilling, etc. to suit the application. 6 Requirements 6.1 Compliance Compact laminate types CGS and CGF shall meet all appropriate requirements specified in 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4. This applies to both full-size sheets and cut-to-size panels. 6.2 Inspection requirements 6.2.1 General Inspection shall be carried out in accordance with EN 438-2:2016, Clause 4 at a distance between 750 mm to 1500 mm. 6.2.2 Colour and pattern When inspected in daylight or D65 standard illuminant, as specified in EN ISO 11664-2, and also under tungsten filament lightning illuminant A as specified in EN ISO 11664-2, a slight difference between the corresponding colour reference sample held by the supplier and the specimen under test is acceptable. NOTE Where colour and surface finish are critical, it is advised that sheets be checked for colour and surface-finish compatibility before fabrication or installation. 6.2.3 Surface finish When inspected at different viewing angles, there shall be no significant difference between the corresponding surface-finish reference sample held by the supplier and the specimen under test. The maximum permitted deviations for the gloss value determined according to EN 13722 are Gloss surface
> 70 GU maximum deviation ± 15 GU Semi Gloss surface
30 – 70 GU maximum deviation ± 10 GU Semi Matt surface
10 – 30 GU maximum deviation ± 5 GU Matt surface
< 10 GU maximum deviation ± 3 GU GU = gloss units The measurement shall be carried out with the same device as comparison between reference sample and specimen or between different lots of specimen. NOTE Where colour and surface finish are critical, it is advised that sheets be checked for colour and surface-finish compatibility before fabrication or instal
