Overview

This part of ISO 17076 specifies a method of determining the abrasion resistance of upholstery leather for different applications using Martindale apparatus with a ball plate. The method is applicable to semi-aniline, pigmented and coated leather.
The procedure is based on the method described in ISO 12947-4 and modified to use a ball plate underneath the specimen to better simulate day-to-day use.
This document (EN ISO 17076-2:2011) has been prepared by the "International Union of Leather Technologists and Chemists Societies", in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 289 "Leather", the secretariat of which is held by UNI (Italy).
The responsible national committee is Working Committee NA 062-05-51 AA "Anforderungen und physikalische Prüfverfahren für Leder und seine Ausgangsprodukte" ("Requirements and physical test methods of leather and ...") of the Materials Testing Standards Committee (NMP).
The following modifications have been made with respect to DIN EN 14327:2004-03:
a) division into two parts;
b) a new test method (Martindale ball plate test method) has been incorporated into Part 2.
