Gives performance requirements for two types of compact laminate of thickness 2 mm or greater produced by using a high pressure process intended for interior use.

This European Standard specifies performance requirements for two types of compact laminate of thickness 2mm or greater produced by using a high pressure process intended for interior use . High-pressure decorative Compact laminates are characterised by their aesthetic qualities, strength, durability and functional performance. Compact HPL sheets are available in a wide variety of colours, patterns and surface finishes; they are extremely strong, and resistant to wear, impact, scratching, moisture, heat and staining; and possess good hygienic and anti-static properties, being easy to clean and maintain. EN438‑2 specifies the methods of test relevant to this European Standard.
