BS EN 15115:2006

This standard BS EN 15115:2006 Textile floor coverings. Determination of sensitivity to spilled water is classified in these ICS categories:

• 97.150 Non-textile floor coverings

This European Standard specifies a method to determine the sensitivity of a textile floor covering for change in colour or structure after water has been spilled on the surface. This change can be due to a real colour change or to a migration and concentration of chemicals from pre-coat or backing during the drying process. This concentration of chemicals on a part of the surface is one of the major causes of accelerated uneven soiling of textile floor covering.
