27、t methods 3 Term and definition For the purposes of this document, the following term and definition applies. 3.1 high-pressure decorative laminate(s) (HPL) sheet(s) consisting of layers of cellulosic fibrous material (normally paper) impregnated with thermosetting resins and bonded together by the

28、high pressure process described below The high pressure process is defined as the simultaneous application of heat (temperature 120 C) and high specific pressure ( 5 MPa), to provide flowing and subsequent curing of the thermosetting resins to obtain a homogeneous non-porous material with increased

29、density ( 1,35 g/cm), and with the required surface finish. NOTE 1 This is a general definition of high-pressure decorative laminate(s). More specific product definitions can be found in parts 3 to 6 of the standard. NOTE 2 In addition to the more common surface layers based on thermosetting resin i

30、mpregnated dcor papers, other decorative design surfaces are available such as metal foils, wood-veneers, textiles, etc. These products are not covered by a specific part of EN 438. EN 438-1:2005 (E) 5 4 Guidance in the use of the standard 4.1 Description of parts EN 438-2 describes the methods of t

31、est that shall be used to determine the performance of HPL products in their various internal and external application fields, e.g. construction, transport, furniture, flooring, etc. The test methods have been specifically developed for testing HPL. It should be noted that not all test methods apply

32、 to all types of HPL. For example Test 11, Resistance to Abrasion, applies only to flooring grade laminates; while Test 10, Resistance to Surface Wear, applies to all types of HPL except flooring grade laminates. It is therefore important to read the scope of the test method to determine whether it

33、is applicable to a particular HPL product. EN 438-3 to 6 specify the performance requirements for different types of high-pressure decorative laminates. Each of these parts is independent of the others, and only requires reference to EN 438-2 for details of the appropriate test methods. EN 438-3 app

34、lies to laminates less than 2 mm thick intended for bonding to supporting substrates to produce HPL composite panels. Classification systems and performance requirements are specified for heavy duty, horizontal and vertical grades of laminate, in standard, postforming and flame-retardant qualities.

35、EN 438-4 applies to Compact laminates of thickness 2 mm and greater, in standard and flame-retardant qualities, intended for interior applications. EN 438-5 applies to flooring grade laminates less than 2 mm thick intended for bonding to supporting substrates, to produce HPL flooring elements. As la

36、minate floor coverings they meet the requirements of EN 13329. EN 438-6 applies to Exterior-grade Compact laminates of thickness 2 mm and greater, and specifies requirements for standard and flame-retardant laminates for use in moderate and severe outdoor conditions. EN 438-7 is the harmonised stand

37、ard covering the essential requirements specified in Construction Products Directive Mandates M/121 Internal and External Wall and Ceiling Finishes, and M/113 Wood-based Panels. 4.2 Applications Table 1 below shows how the different parts of the standard relate to various fields of application. Tabl

38、e 1 Application fields Application Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Construction (internal) Construction (external) Transport Furniture Flooring 5 Product classification systems EN 438-3 to 6 include product classification systems. While each of these systems is different, they contain some common elemen

39、ts as follows: EN 438-1:2005 (E) 6 Main classifications: H denotes Horizontal grade V denotes Vertical grade C denotes Compact laminate E denotes Exterior grade AC denotes Abrasion Class for flooring grade Sub-classifications: D denotes Heavy duty or severe use G denotes General purpose or moderate

40、use S denotes Standard grade F denotes Flame-retardant grade P denotes Postforming grade In Part 5, the classification system AC1 to AC5 has been adopted as these classes relate directly to the corresponding product classes in EN 13329 Laminate Floor Coverings. EN 438-1:2005 (E) 7 Annex A (informati

41、ve) Addendum relating to hygienic, health and safety information for laminates intended for interior use A.1 Cleanability Because they are easy to clean and maintain, high-pressure decorative laminates are suitable for use in hygienic applications such as hospitals, pharmacies, food processing areas

42、, abattoirs, clean rooms, etc. For routine cleaning, wiping the surface with water and mild detergent is usually sufficient, but more severe methods such as hosing down with hot water or steam cleaning can be used where required by the application. Solvents such as white spirit, acetone or cellulose

43、 thinners can also be used (e.g. for graffiti removal) as they will not affect the laminate. A.2 Hygiene When used in hospitals and surgeries, HPL surfaces can be disinfected using any of the common disinfectants such as Ethanol 70 %, Formalin 1 to 5 %, p-chlorine-m-cresol 0,3 %, Chloramine T 1 to 5

44、 %, Alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride 0,1 %. High-pressure decorative laminates show a high resistance to fungal and bacterial growth, when tested in accordance with ISO 846. A.3 Contact with foodstuffs When determination of the overall and specific migration is carried out in accordance with the

45、 test method shown below, the following results are typical of those for HPL : Overall migration 10 mg/dm 2Specific migration (formaldehyde) 2,5 mg/dm 2Test methods - Methods for the examination of consumer goods, basic rules for the determination of the migration in simulant solvents, state of Apri

Conditions 24 h at 40 C Test simulants acetic acid with a mass fraction of 3 % ethanol with a volume fraction of 10 % ethanol with a volume fraction of 95 % Test procedure one-sided contact A.4 Dangerous substances HPL does not contain pentachlorophenol, asbestos, halogens or heavy metals (Ant
