An improved design of the test equipment for test method 2 of ENV 1187 has given more precise results than in earlier comparisons. Deviations between the Nordic laboratories that have been seen before are no longer at hand. Tests performed have shown that the test equipment according to the improved design will give test results that still are on approximately the same Nordic mean level as before. Thus, earlier tested products will keep their classification. A revised definition of damaged length to be used for test method 2 will be needed to improve the precision of test result. It will be suggested to CEN for introduction into ENV 1187. New figures and more precise specifications for the equipment will also be suggested for the pre-standard.
