CEN/TS 16209:2011
(Main)Furniture - Classification for properties for furniture surfaces
General Information
- Abstract
This Technical Specification specifies a system for the classification of the resistance to:
- Dry heat
- Wet heat
- Cold liquids
- Abrasion
- Scratching
For resistance to dry heat, resistance to wet heat, and resistance to cold liquids, this Technical Specification applies to all furniture surfaces regardless of materials, except finishes on leather and fabrics.
The classification for the surface resistance to abrasion applies to foil, laminate, melamine faced boards, pigmented and transparent coatings. It does not apply to the surfaces covered by EN 14434.
The classification for the surface resistance to scratching has two methods, A and B. Method A applies to all types of surface coatings and coverings except for melamine faced boards and HPL. Method B applies to all types of surfaces. It does not apply to finishes on leather and fabrics.
