The Laminate Flooring Industry has published standards for Laminate Flooring through the auspices of the North American Laminate Flooring Association (NALFA) as NALFA LF-01-2011. The standard is available on the NALFA web site (http://www.nalfa.com/productStandards.php) and print copies are available direct from NALFA (see their web site for address and contact information). The standard covers residential, light commercial, and commercial grade laminate flooring. We have been working with the laminate flooring industry on the development and evaluation of standards for laminate flooring since 1997 as an outgrowth of our work on HPDL testing. We are capable of running the full basic set of required tests in the NALFA LF-01 standard.
We operate as an independent test laboratory capable of providing testing services required for NALFA product certification (contact NALFA for more information about product certification).
