This Part of EN 438 also specifies requirements for the properties of the various types of laminates covered by this classification system.High-pressure decorative laminates are characterised by their qualities, durability and functional performance. HPL sheets are available in a wide variety of colours, patterns and surface finishes; they are resistant to wear, scratching, impact, moisture, heat and staining; and possess good hygienic and anti-static properties, being easy to clean and maintain.EN 438-2 specifies the methods of test relevant to this Part of EN 438.
