Furniture — Tests for surface finishes — Part 6: Assessment of resistance to scratching
Description
This document specifies two methods for the assessment of surface resistance to different kinds of visible scratches.
It is applicable to the rigid surfaces of all finished products, regardless of their material.
It does not apply to finishes on leather and fabrics.
Method A is suitable for all types of surface coatings and coverings except for melamine faced boards (in accordance with EN 14322) and HPL (in accordance with EN 438-1). It simulates measurable penetrating and/or deforming scratches.
Method B is suitable for all types of surfaces. It simulates first visible traces (e.g. scratches, marks) that can also be a change in the gloss.
The test is intended to be carried out on a part of finished furniture. It can, however, be carried out on test panels of the same material, finished in an identical manner to the finished product, and of a size sufficient to meet the requirements of the test.
The test is carried out on unused surfaces without any defects or damages.

Abstract
This document specifies two methods for the assessment of surface resistance to different kinds of visible scratches.
It is applicable to the rigid surfaces of all finished products, regardless of their material.
It does not apply to finishes on leather and fabrics.
Method A is suitable for all types of surface coatings and coverings except for melamine faced boards (in accordance with EN 14322) and HPL (in accordance with EN 438-1). It simulates measurable penetrating and/or deforming scratches.
Method B is suitable for all types of surfaces. It simulates first visible traces (e.g. scratches, marks) that can also be a change in the gloss.
The test is intended to be carried out on a part of finished furniture. It can, however, be carried out on test panels of the same material, finished in an identical manner to the finished product, and of a size sufficient to meet the requirements of the test.
The test is carried out on unused surfaces without any defects or damages.
