What is ISO 24334 - Determination of the locking strength of laminate floor covering panels about?
ISO 24334 discusses the method for the determination of the locking strength of laminate floor covering panels.
ISO 24334 specifies a method for determination of the locking strength of joints between the laminate floor covering panels which are assembled with both vertical and horizontal mechanical locking systems.
Note: ISO 24334 is also applicable to other mechanically assembled panels, e.g., modular multilayer floorings.
Who is ISO 24334 - Determination of the locking strength of laminate floor covering panels for?
ISO 24334 on determination of the locking strength of laminate floor covering panels is useful for:
- Manufacturers of laminate floor coverings
- Installers of floor coverings
- Designers of floor coverings
- Quality control laboratories
Why should you use ISO 24334 - Determination of the locking strength of laminate floor covering panels?
ISO 24334 provides a method for the determination of locking strength for mechanically assembled panels. A test for determining the locking strength is set so that the claws or jaws pull apart the defined installed test pieces with a speed of 5 mm/min. This test speed resulted from intensive discussions.
The chosen test method in accordance with ISO 24334 produces plausible results for the variants with different build-ups. ISO 24334 specifies a method for determination of the locking strength of joints between the laminate floor covering panels which are assembled with both vertical and horizontal mechanical locking systems. That enables objective and inter-comparable assessment and provides clarity for the user of the floorings regarding what they can and cannot do.
ISO 24334 specifies a method for determination of the locking strength of joints between the laminate floor covering panels used to connect laminate flooring panels together. That helps to secure your laminate floor.
