What is DD CEN/TS 16209 - Furniture - Classification for properties for furniture surfaces about?
DD CEN/TS 16209 discusses classification for properties for furniture surfaces.
DD CEN/TS 16209 specifies a system for the classification of the resistance to:
- Dry heat
- Wet heat
- Cold liquids
- Abrasion
- Scratching
For resistance to dry heat, resistance to wet heat, and resistance to cold liquids, DD CEN/TS 16209 applies to all furniture surfaces regardless of materials, except finishes on leather and fabrics.
The classification for the surface resistance to abrasion applies to foil, laminate, melamine-faced boards, pigmented and transparent coatings. DD CEN/TS 16209 does not apply to the surfaces covered by EN 14434.
The classification for the surface resistance to scratching has two methods, A and B. Method A applies to all types of surface coatings and coverings except for melamine faced boards and HPL. Method B applies to all types of surfaces. DD CEN/TS 16209 does not apply to finishes on leather and fabrics.
