DIN EN 438-5
High-pressure decorative laminates (HPL) - Sheets based on thermosetting resins (usually called laminates) - Part 5: Classification and specifications for flooring grade laminates less than 2 mm thick intended for bonding to supporting substrates; German version EN 438-5:2016

Title (German)

Dekorative Hochdruck-Schichtpressstoffplatten (HPL) - Platten auf Basis härtbarer Harze (Schichtpressstoffe) - Teil 5: Klassifizierung und Spezifikationen für Schichtpressstoffe für Fußböden mit einer Dicke kleiner als 2 mm, vorgesehen zum Verkleben auf ein Trägermaterial; Deutsche Fassung EN 438-5:2016

Overview

This European Standard applies to six classes of flooring grade laminates less than 2 mm thick produced by using a high pressure process, intended for bonding to supporting substrates, to produce HPL flooring elements. For laminate floor covering applications they meet the surface property requirements specified in EN 13329. High-pressure decorative flooring laminates are characterised by their high resistance to abrasion, aesthetic qualities and durability. They have good hygienic and anti-static properties and are easy to clean and maintain. The requirements in this document apply only to the high-pressure laminate, and additional properties will need to be specified in order to define the functional performance of the finished flooring product. This European Standard applies only to decorative laminates as defined in Clause 3. EN 438-2 specifies the methods of test relevant to this European Standard. The responsible national standardization committee is Working Committee NA 054-04-01 AA "Dekorative Schichtstoffe und Mineralwerkstoffe" ("Decorative laminates and solid surfacing materials") at DIN Standards Committee Plastics (FNK).
