Textile floor coverings - Determination of sensitivity to spilled water
This document specifies a method to determine the sensitivity of a textile floor covering for appearance change after water has been spilled and dried on the surface.
This change can be:
a) a colour change;
b) a change in structure;
c) migration and concentration of chemicals coming from the product.
NOTE A concentration of chemicals on a part of the surface can cause accelerated uneven soiling of textile floor coverings.
