What is BS EN 15115 - Sensitivity to spilled water of textile floor covering about?
BS EN 15115 is a European standard that discusses the sensitivity to spilled water of a textile floor covering. BS EN 15115 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 precoat 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.
