ASTM D1037-12

Standard Test Methods For Evaluating Properties Of Wood-Base Fiber And Particle Panel Materials

1.1 Part AGeneral Test Methods for Evaluating the Basic Properties of Wood-Base Fiber and Particle Panel Materials. These test methods cover the determination of the properties of wood-base Fiber and particle panel materials that are produced as mat-formed panels such as particleboard, medium-density Fiberboard, hardboard, and oriented strand board.

ASTM D2794-93(2004)

Standard Test Method For Resistance Of Organic Coatings To The Eects Of Rapid Deformation (Impact)

1.1 This test method covers a procedure for rapidly deforming by impact a coating Film and its substrate andfor evaluating the effect of such deformation.

1.2 This test method should be restricted to testing in only one laboratory when numerical values are used because of the poor reproducibility of the method. Interlaboratory agreement is improved when ranking is used in place of numerical values.

ASTM E190-21

Standard Test Method For Guided Bend Test For Ductility Of Welds

1.1This test method covers a guided bend test for the determination of soundness and ductility of welds in ferrous and nonferrous products. Flaws, not shown by X rays, can appear in the surface of a specimen when it is subjected to progressive localized overstressing.

1.2The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

UNE-EN ISO 1519:2011

Paints and varnishes – Bend test (cylindrical mandrel) (ISO 1519:2011)

Specifies an empirical test procedure for assessing the resistance of a coating of paint, varnish or related product to cracking and/or detachment from a metal or plastics substrate when subjected to bending round a cylindrical mandrel under standard conditions.

For a multi-coat system, each coat can be tested separately or the complete system can be tested.

UNE-EN ISO 2409:2013

Paints and varnishes – Cross-cut test (ISO 2409:2013)

Specifies a test method for assessing the resistance of paint coatings and varnishes (including wood stains) to separation from substrates when a right-angle lattice pattern is cut into the coating, penetrating through to the substrate. The property determined by this empirical test procedure depends, among other factors, on the adhesion of the coating to either the preceding coat or the substrate. This procedure is not, however, a means of measuring adhesion.

NOTE 1 Where a measurement of adhesion is required, see the method described in ISO 4624.

NTC ISO 2809-2:2007

Woods. Boards with decorative coatings. Test methods.

This standard establishes the test methods to which boards with decorative coatings must be subjected.

ISO 4866:2010

Mechanical vibration and shock — Vibration of fixed structures — Guidelines for the measurement of vibrations and evaluation of their effects on structures

ISO 4866:2010 establishes principles for carrying out vibration measurement and processing data with regard to evaluating vibration effects on structures. It does not cover the source of excitation except when the source dictates dynamic range, frequency or other relevant parameters. The evaluation of the effects of structural vibration is primarily obtained from the response of the structure, using appropriate analytical methods by which the frequency, duration and amplitude can be defined. ISO 4866:2010 only deals with the measurement of structural vibration and excludes the measurement of airborne sound pressure and other pressure uctuations, although response to such excitations is taken into consideration.

ISO 19712-1:2008

Plastics — Decorative solid surfacing materials — Part 1: Classification and specifications

ISO 19712-1:2008 establishes a classification system for solid surfacing materials according to their performance.

ISO 19712-1:2008 also specifies property requirements for the various types of solid surfacing materials covered by this classification. Requirements are specified for the types that are most generally used, but additional types may be added as required. The specified limit values apply to the most commonly used types of material, but within each classification it may be possible to obtain variants having much higher performance values.
