8、ditions of use that may require either mainte-nance beyond that considered normal or replacement of thefloor surface material.3.2 It is important for some of the evaluations that thesubstrate to be used beneath the finish flooring be duplicatedbecause the type and degree of support will have a direc
9、tinfluence on the value obtained from test.For example,in somepresent-day construction,low-density materials are used forsound-deadening immediately below the finish flooring.Theway this substrate distributes loading and absorbs energy willhave an influence on evaluations such as those in rolling an
10、dconcentrated loads.3.3 The test methods presented herein may be used tocompare different finish floorings as to their resistance tosevere and ordinary service loads and also may serve as themeans to set specification limits.The properties obtained bythese test methods are needed in addition to such

12、nal stage of a study.In each instance,therefore,it is necessary to determine whichevaluations shall be made to fulfill the objectives.4.Test Specimens4.1 The number of specimens to be chosen for test and themethod of their selection depend on the variability of the finishflooring material and on the
13、 purpose of the particular testsunder consideration,so no general rule can be given to coverall instances.It is recommended that,whenever possible,sufficient replications be made to establish reliable meanvalues.Even for the most simple evaluation,a replication ofthree tests for each property is rec
