Standard Specification for Sheet Linoleum Floor Covering
ABSTRACT
This specification covers sheet linoleum floor covering. These floor coverings are intended for use in commercial, light commercial, and residential buildings based on serviceability characteristics. The floor coverings shall be of the following types: Type I; Type II; and Type III. The jute backing shall be firmly bonded to and partially embedded in the linoleum mix. The minimum amount of linoleum cement shall be 30 % when tested. The following test methods shall be performed: overall thickness; static load; resistance to chemicals; resistance to heat; resistance to light; flexibility; static dissipation; and wear surface.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers sheet linoleum floor covering.
1.2 Three types of linoleum floor covering are covered (see Section 4). These floor coverings are intended for use in commercial, light commercial, and residential buildings based on serviceability characteristics. General information and performance characteristics, which determine serviceability and recommended use, are included in this specification.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 11, of this specification. 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
