Significance and Use
This test method is a meaningful test for determining the indentation recovery properties of resilient floor covering.3
As testing is conducted on uninstalled flooring, results are not necessarily an indicator of the floor covering’installed performance.3
Scope
1.1 This test method is intended for use in determining the recovery properties of resilient floor covering after long-term indentation test, 24 h under the load specified in the detail specification. The reported value, residual indentation, is the depth of the depression remaining 24 h after removal of the specified load.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
