IS 17473 : 2024/ISO 24338 : 2022 Laminate Floor Coverings - Determination of Abrasion Resistance
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard which is identical to ISO 24338 : 2022 'Laminate floor coverings - Determination of abrasion resistance' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Wool, Wool Products and Textiles Floor Coverings Sectional Committee and approval of the Textiles Division Council.
This standard was originally published in 2020 and was based ISO 24338: 2014 'Laminate floor coverings - Determination of abrasion resistance'. The first revision of the standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of the standard ISO 24338 : 2022 'Laminate floor coverings - Determination of abrasion resistance'.
The major changes in this revision are as follows:
a) In Clause 4.3 samples to be taken from 3 different flooring elements instead of only one panel; and
b) In Clause 5, the evaluation of abrasion is now in octants instead of quadrants.
The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are however not identical to those used in Indian Standards.
Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appears referring to this standard, they should be read as `Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
