This Technical Specification (CEN/TS 13810-2) was approved by CEN on 11 November 2002 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available. It
is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible
conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United
Kingdom.

1 Scope
This Technical Specification specifies test methods for loading a continuously fully supported non-structural floating
floor with static concentrated point loads, alternating loads and dynamic impact loads for determining the values of
the resulting deflections.
NOTE These test methods form part of the basis for classification of floating floor constructions. The requirements, i.e. load
values, number of load cycles, and deflection limits for the different load categories, are given in EN 13810-1.

5 Principle
A test floor is subject step wise to a series of loadings each step, representing increasing load classes in
EN 1991-1-1 (Eurocode 1). For each load the deflections are measured, and the test floor is checked for visible
damage. The performance of the floating floor system is quantified as the highest load category to which the test
floor can be subjected without visible damage of the panel or the joints, and without the deflection limits being ex-
ceed.
6 Sampling
Panels used for both the test floor and the dummy unit shall be sampled from production over a period of at least
three productions.
The number of test panels required are related to the dimensions of the panels and the measurement required.
See figure 1 and 8.2.
7 Test set-up and apparatus
7.1 Test set-up for concentrated point load and alternating load
The construction of the test floor shall be representative of that occurring in service.
The principle test set-up is shown in figure 1.
If the flooring consists of floor panels of 600 mm width, the joint layout and the location of the concentrated point
load and alternating load shall be as shown in figure 1.
If the flooring consists of floor panels of 800 mm, 900 mm, 1 000 mm or 1 200 mm width, the joint layout and the
location of the concentrated point load and alternating load shall be as shown in the figures given in annex A.

7.2 Test set-up for impact load
The impact testing can be carried out on the actual floor set-ups at least at two T-joints, if this has not been
damaged. Alternatively, two separate test set-ups shall be prepared with a minimum dimension of 1 200 mm ·
1 200 mm. Each of the test set-ups shall contain a T-joint, see figure 2.
