Roll-up carpets. High-traffic carpets. Part 2: Determination of impact resistance

This document establishes the technical requirements and test methods for evaluating the impact resistance of roll carpeting designed for heavy-duty applications. It specifically addresses the second part of the assessment process, focusing on the quantitative measurement of performance under impact loads. The standard defines the specific procedures that must be followed to ensure consistent and reproducible results when testing such flooring materials. It outlines the necessary equipment, sample preparation techniques, and the step-by-step protocol for conducting impact tests. By adhering to these guidelines, manufacturers and testing laboratories can accurately determine the durability of carpet products intended for environments subject to significant wear and tear. The provisions described herein serve as a uniform basis for quality control and comparative analysis of heavy-use flooring solutions within the regional market.
