Overview
SIST EN ISO 16581:2019 is an international standard developed by ISO/TC 219 and adopted by CEN to assess the mechanical resistance of installed resilient and laminate floor coverings. The standard specifies a reliable method for determining how these floor coverings withstand the stress caused by the simulated movement of furniture legs. By reproducing typical forces applied by furniture, this test helps manufacturers, suppliers, and quality control professionals evaluate the durability and performance of floor coverings under real-life conditions.
This standard is essential for ensuring floor coverings can resist damage such as surface deterioration, cuts, deformation, and joint failure caused by furniture movement. It supersedes the previous EN 424:2001 and aligns with ISO 16581:2014.
Key Topics
Scope and Purpose
Defines a test method to simulate mechanical stress from furniture legs on resilient and laminate floor coverings to assess their durability.Test Apparatus and Setup
Includes a specialized frame with rails, a carriage, force measurement system, and weighted platforms equipped with feet of defined size and radius to mimic furniture legs accurately.Sampling and Preparation
Requires a representative test sample installed according to manufacturers’ instructions on a flat, rigid base with controlled environmental conditioning to ensure adhesive curing and moisture equilibrium.Test Procedure
Movement is simulated by pulling the weighted foot horizontally at a controlled speed over at least 700 mm, repeated on multiple paths oriented longitudinally and transversely to detect variability.Damage Assessment Criteria
- For resilient floor coverings: surface flatness deterioration, surface damage, cuts, penetrating edges, and joint failures.
- For laminate floor coverings: gouging, delamination, edge damage, surface deformation, and joint openings.
Result Reporting
Test reports must include full product identification, details of the foot type used, test paths, damage observations, and any deviations from the standard.
Applications
Flooring Product Testing
Manufacturers of resilient and laminate floor coverings can use SIST EN ISO 16581:2019 to validate product durability against furniture-induced stresses before market release.Quality Control
Flooring installers and quality assurance teams can assess installation methods and detect potential vulnerabilities in floor covering layouts.Research & Development
Enables R&D teams to optimize floor covering formulations and constructions to improve resistance to mechanical damage caused by furniture movement.Certification and Compliance
Supports conformity assessment and compliance with international regulations by providing standardized test results accepted across multiple European countries.Consumer Guidance
Assists retailers and consumers in choosing floor coverings proven to resist damage from everyday furniture displacement, enhancing satisfaction and longevity.
