Summary of Test Method4.1 The floor covering shall be tested in a mechanical wearsimulator or tested under controlled laboratory foot traffic testsreference

10、d in Practices D5252, D5417, D6119, and D6962. Thetested floor covering shall then be assessed for surface appear-ance change by comparing unexposed controls to the exposedsample by using the appropriate Appearance Change GradingScale.5. Significance and Use5.1 The determination of surface appearanc

This test method isconsidered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercialshipments because current estimates of between laboratoryprecision are acceptable, and this test met

Precision and Bias312.1 The precision of this test method is based on aninterlaboratory study of D7330, Standard Test Method forAssessment of Surface Appearance Change in Pile FloorCoverings Using

26、Standard Reference Scales, conducted in2010. Eight laboratories tested a total of seven different floorcovering materials for surface appearance change. Every “testresult” represents an average of three individual rating deter-minations (rounded to the nearest 0.5). All laboratories wereasked to sub

27、mit three replicate test results (reported by threedifferent assessors) for each material tested. Practice E691 wasfollowed for the overall design and analysis of the data; thedetails will be available in an ASTM Research Report.312.1.1 Repeatability Limit (r)Two test results obtainedwithin one labo
