26、able steel rule, calibrated in millimetres accurate to 0,5 mm or any other equivalent precision device. 4.1.1.2 Rectangular template, (32 0,5) mm (300 0,5) mm for category 3 wallcoverings in accordance with EN 233.Page 4 EN 12956:1999 BSI 31 July 2002 4.1.2 Length Suitable tape calibrated in centime

27、tres accurate to 0,5 cm per 20 m or any other equivalent precision device. 4.2 Preparation Samples shall be conditioned in accordance with ISO 187. Measurements shall be made on each roll selected for sampling in accordance with the wallcovering requirements, in particular the normative annexes of E

28、N 233 and prEN 259-1. NOTE The measurement of very large rolls of heavy duty wallcoverings may be difficult to perform under the conditions of ISO 187 but should be undertaken as soon as practicable after such conditioning. 4.3 Procedures 4.3.1 Width For wallcoverings of categories 1 and 2 defined i

29、n EN 233 and for other wallcoverings in roll form, measure the width perpendicular to the length of the roll at at least three points on the roll which are at least 1 m apart. State the width as the arithmetic mean of these measurements to the nearest millimetre. For friezes (in accordance with cate

30、gory 3 defined in EN 233), place the template (see 4.1.1) on the frieze and try to inscribe it entirely within the latter. If this is possible, the width of the frieze shall be considered to be not less than 32 mm, if not, the width shall be considered to be less than 32 mm. 4.3.2 Length Measure the

31、 length on one side of the roll after ensuring that the roll ends are cut at right angles. State the length to the nearest centimetre. 5 Method of verifying straightness 5.1 Apparatus 5.1.1 Steel rule, at least 1 m long with a straightness accuracy of at least 0,04 mm over a length of 1 m. 5.1.2 Shi

32、m, 1 mm thick accurate to 0,1 mm. 5.2 Test pieces From the sample, take a test piece 2,50 m long. 5.3 Procedure Lay out the test piece over a flat surface. Make three marks 1 m apart on one edge of the test piece. Line up the rule with two of the marks. Check whether the distance between the edge of

33、 the test piece and the rule is greater than the thickness of the shim by sliding it along the rule. Repeat the operation with the third mark. If the two measurements give a distance of less than the thickness of the shim, record the result as: distance less than 1 mm. Otherwise, record the result a

34、s: distance greater than 1 mm.Page 5 EN 12956:1999 BSI 31 July 2002 6 Method of assessing spongeability and washability 6.1 Principle Secure a test piece taken from the wallcovering to a horizontal surface and, after applying a reagent, rub it mechanically. Then examine the test piece for damage. 6.

38、 the following characteristics.a) A flat glass platen mounted in the horizontal plane with a framework for clamping on a 300 mm long 150 mm wide test piece of wallcovering, retaining the reagent placed on the test piece and preventing the ingress of reagent under the test piece.b) A motor-driven arm

39、 on which a rubbing head, with its bottom face resting on the platen, is pivoted. The machine has an automatic stop mechanism which can be pre-set to stop the arm on completion of the required number of cycles.c) The arm reciprocates the rubbing head on a straight course along the length of the test

40、 piece with sinusoidal displacement against time. The length of the stroke shall be (140 1) mm and the arm shall capable of being set to reciprocate at two speeds (30 3) cycles/min or (120 10) cycles/min.d) The rubbing head is attached to the arm by a parallelogram linkage to allow free vertical mov
