ISO 19712-1:2008根据固体表面材料的性能建立了一个分类系统。 ISO 19712-1:2008还规定了本分类涵盖的各类固体表面材料的性能要求。规定了最常用类型的要求，但可根据需要添加其他类型。规定的限值适用于最常用的材料类型，但在每个分类中，可能会获得具有更高性能值的变体。 这些材料的特点是外观均匀，表面可再生，接缝不明显。它们通常分为实心表面板（设计用于水平、垂直、湿和干应用）和实心表面形状（包括但不限于厨房水槽、浴室水槽、梳妆台、淋浴器、浴缸和水疗）。 固体表面材料的重要性能包括耐水性、抗热震性、耐热性、耐冲击性、耐染色性和耐化学性、耐香烟燃烧性、颜色稳定性、硬度、耐细菌和真菌性、清洁性、卫生性、可缝合性和可更新性。

ISO 19712-1:2008 establishes a classification system for solid surfacing materials according to their performance. ISO 19712-1:2008 also specifies property requirements for the various types of solid surfacing materials covered by this classification. Requirements are specified for the types that are most generally used, but additional types may be added as required. The specified limit values apply to the most commonly used types of material, but within each classification it may be possible to obtain variants having much higher performance values. These materials are characterized by their homogeneous appearance, renewable surfaces and inconspicuous seams. They are generally classified as solid surface sheets (designed for horizontal, vertical, wet and dry applications) and solid surface shapes (including, but not limited to, kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, vanity tops, showers, tubs and spas). The important properties of solid surfacing materials are water resistance, thermal shock resistance, heat resistance, impact resistance, stain and chemical resistance, cigarette burn resistance, colour stability, hardness, bacterial and fungal resistance, cleanability, hygiene, seamability and renewability.
