Textile floor coverings — Determination of friability of attached foams ISO 11858:1999

Publication date:   Oct 21, 1999

Scope

1.1 This International Standard specifies a procedure for assessing the friability of foam backings attached to
textile floor coverings.
1.2 This International Standard is not suitable for evaluating the propensity of a foam backing to break down after
installation, since such break-down is invariably due to a combination of flexing fatigue and oxidation, factors which
are not covered in this International Standard.
