Test report 7534
The approval
A test mark „DLG APPROVED for individual criteria“ is awarded for agricultural products which have successfully fulfilled a scopereduced usability testing conducted by DLG according to independent and recognized evaluation criteria. The test is intended to highlight particular innovations and key criteria of the test object. The test may contain criteria from the DLG test scope for overall tests, or focus on other value-determining characteristics and properties of the test subject. The minimum requirements, test conditions and procedures as well as the evaluation bases of the test results will be specified in consultation with an expert group of DLG. They correspond to the recognized rules of technology, as well as scientific and agricultural knowledge and requirements. The successful testing is concluded with the publication of a test report, as well as the awarding of the test mark which is valid for five years from the date of awarding. The DLG Approved Test “Deformability/Elasticity, Permanent Tread Load, Acid resistance” includes technical measurements on test stands of the DLG Test Center. The deformability and elasticity, the acid resistance, were measured and a permanent tread load was applied. The test was based on the DLG Testing Framework for elastic stable flooring, as of December 2018 and DIN 3763:2022-08 (Elastic floorings for cattle and dairy cows walking and rest surfaces – Requirements and Testing). Other criteria were not investigated.
Test results
The Promat cow matress Pasture Mat with 20 mm Comfortpad and HRC Top Cover tested here, an elastic floor for cubicles in cubicle houses, was investigated with regard to durability and comfort properties on test stands in the DLG Approved Test. The deformability and elasticity, the acid resistance, were measured and a permanent tread load was applied.
Requirements of DIN 3763 are fulfilled in the examined criteria; Deformability and elasticity class 4 according to DIN 3763.
