Quality Evidence Pack

SPC flooring quality is never left to chance. It is tested.

From thermal stability to locking strength, our products are measured in our own laboratory and the results are documented in accredited test reports and certificates. We compile the documents your market asks for into a single file.

Every claim is backed by a measurement

  1. 01

    Thermal dimensional stability

    Samples are exposed to heat in a climate chamber; dimensional change and curling are measured.

    EN ISO 23999
  2. 02

    Residual indentation

    The mark left after a static load is removed is measured, which matters for furniture and heavy use.

    EN ISO 24343-1
  3. 03

    Abrasion resistance

    Abrasive wheels stress the surface over set cycles to document the resistance of the wear layer.

    EN 13329 · ISO 24338
  4. 04

    Impact resistance

    A ball dropped from a defined height checks the surface for cracking and marking.

    EN 13329
  5. 05

    Locking strength

    A tensile tester pulls the click joint until it separates and records the joint strength.

    ISO 24334
  6. 06

    Density & moisture

    Precision scales and a moisture analyser check the density and moisture of the core material.

  7. 07

    Surface & gloss

    Gloss measurements track decor and texture consistency from one production run to the next.
