requirements
SPECIFICATIONS: GENERAL INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS:
Viewing distance
Approximately 150cm.
Light conditions
Intensity 800 – 1000 lux over the whole area.
Light type
Overhead white fluorescent lights, of colour
temperature approximately 5000 K.
SPECIFICATIONS: INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS OF COLOUR, PATTERN AND
SURFACE FINISH:
Colour
When inspected in daylight or D65 standard
illuminant, as specified in ISO 11664 – 2, and
also under tungsten filament lighting illuminant
as specified in ISO 11664 – 2, a slight difference
between the corresponding colour reference
sample held by the supplier and the specimen
under test is acceptable.
Colour and
Surface Finish
As these are critical, it is recommended that
sheets are checked without protective film
before fabrication or installation.
Laminates can be directional in surface finish
and colour and they shall be installed in the
correct orientation.

SPECIFICATIONS: VISUAL INSPECTION
Dirt, spots and
similar surface
defects
Max. 1 mm2/m2 and is proportional to the sheet size.
Total admissible area of contamination may be
concentrated in one spot or dispersed over an
unlimited amount of smaller defects.
Fibres, hairs and
scratches
Max. 10 mm/m2 and proportional to the sheet size.
Total admissible area of contamination may be
concentrated in one spot or dispersed over an
unlimited amount of smaller defects.
Edge quality, e.g.
moisture marks, lack
of gloss, corner
damage
Can be present on all 4 edges of the laminate,
provided that the defect-free length and width are
at least the nominal size minus 20 mm.
Reverse side (for thin
laminates)
Shall be suitable for adhesive bonding (e.g.
sanded). In the case of sanded backs, slight chatter
marks are allowed.
