1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the thickness loss of textile floor coverings under dynamic loading. It is applicable to all types of textile floor coverings with a surface that is level in height and construction. It does not apply to other textile floor coverings unless the areas of different thickness or construction can be tested separately.

For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definitions apply. 3.1 thickness (of a textile floor covering) distance between a reference plate on which the specimen rests and a parallel presser-foot applying a given pressure to the specimen NOTE Ordinarily the thickness of a textile floor covering without compression is measured under the standard pressure of 2,0 kPa ± 0,2 kPa applied to a circle of area between 300 mm 2 and 1 000 mm 2 within a larger area. 3.2 thickness loss (of a textile floor covering under dynamic loading) difference between the thickness of the textile floor covering, measured under the standard pressure, before and after it has received a stated number of standard
4 Principle
The specimen is subjected to a cyclic-loading treatment in which a weight-piece, with two steel feet on its underside, repeatedly drops freely on to the specimen. The specimen is slowly traversed so that vertical shearing forces produced by the edges of the feet act on the requisite area of the specimen. The thickness of the specimen is measured, before and after treatment, by the procedure specified in ISO 1 765, except that the requirement of ISO 1 765 not to measure within 20 mm of a change in level is not applicable.
5 Apparatus
5.1 Dynamic loading machine, consisting of the following main components: 5.1.1 Weight-piece, of total mass 1 279 g ± 1 3 g having a lower surface comprising two rectangular cross-section feet separated by an inside distance of 38 mm ± 0,5 mm. Each of the feet has the following dimensions: – width: 6,5 mm ± 0,5 mm; – length: 51 mm ± 0,5 mm; – depth: 9,5 mm ± 0,5 mm. The weight-piece falls freely under gravity from a height of 63,5 mm ± 0,5 mm on to the specimen every 4,3 s ± 0,3 s. The weight-piece is guided in its fall to ensure no lateral or turning movement. It is essential however that the guides impose negligible friction against the free fall of the weight-piece. Each fall of the weight-piece corresponds to one impact. 5.1.2 Steel base plate, 1 50 mm ± 0,5 mm long and 1 25 mm ± 0,5 mm wide, to which the specimen is clamped at the sides by means of two 1 50 mm ± 0,5 mm long and 20 mm ± 0,5 mm wide steel bars, screwed at the ends of the base plate. The base plate is slowly traversed in such a way that there is 3,2 mm ± 0,1 mm movement for each drop of the weight-piece and the return traverse is 1 ,6 mm ± 0,1 mm out of step with the forward traverse. A complete cycle (one forward traverse and one reverse traverse) is made for a total of 25 impacts to give a total compressed area approximately 50 mm wide by about 90 mm long, which may have a ridge across the centre.
