Standard Practice for Preparing Concrete Floors to Receive Resilient Flooring

SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the determination of the acceptability of a concrete floor for the installation of resilient flooring.
1.2 This practice includes suggestions for the construction of a concrete floor to ensure its acceptability for installation of resilient flooring.
1.3 This practice does not cover the adequacy of the concrete floor to perform its structural requirements.
1.4 This practice covers the necessary preparation of concrete floors prior to the installation of resilient flooring.
1.5 This practice does not supersede in any manner the resilient flooring or adhesive manufacturer's written instructions. Consult the individual manufacturer for specific recommendations.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. See 5.1, 7.1.1, and 7.1.2 for specific warning statements.
1.7 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units and are provided for information only.
