Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings - Design, preparation and installation - Part 3: Laminate floor coverings
This Technical Specification provides recommendations for the installation of laminate floor coverings.
Generally laminate floor coverings are installed as floating floors but in some applications they can be integrally glued to the subfloor. This Technical Specification only details suitable methods for floating floor installation and advises on the selection of the materials required for their implementation.
The guidelines in this Technical Specification are intended for use in cases where manufacturer's instructions, taking account of the national code of practice in the country where the installation is to be made, are not available. References to the national codes that are currently available are listed in the bibliography of the various parts of this Technical Specification.
This part 3 of the Technical Specification is intended for use in conjunction with part 1 that deals with general matters relevant to textile and resilient floor coverings as well as to laminate floor coverings.
All parts of the Technical Specification are intended to supplement, and not conflict with, National Standards.
Elastische, textile und Laminatbodenbeläge - Planung, Vorbereitung und Verlegung - Teil 3: Laminatbodenbeläge
Laminatbodenbeläge werden gewöhnlich als schwimmende Böden verlegt, können aber bei einigen Anwendungen vollständig mit dem Untergrund verklebt werden. Diese Technische Spezifikation beschreibt ausschließlich Verfahren für die schwimmende Verlegung und gibt Hinweise zur Auswahl der dafür erforderlichen Materialien.
Die Anleitungen in dieser Technischen Spezifikation sind für die Fälle vorgesehen, wenn unter Berücksichtigung der nationalen Verfahrensweise des Landes, in dem der Bodenbelag verlegt werden soll, keine Anweisungen des Herstellers erhältlich sind. Gegenwärtig erhältliche Verweisungen auf nationale Vorschriften sind in den Literaturhinweisen der verschiedenen Teile dieser Technischen Spezifikation aufgeführt.
Teil 3 dieser Technischen Spezifikation soll in Verbindung mit Teil 1 benutzt werden, welcher allgemeine Belange sowohl textiler und elastischer Bodenbeläge als auch von Laminatbodenbelägen behandelt.
Alle Teile dieser Technischen Spezifikation sollen nationale Normen ergänzen und ihnen nicht widersprechen.

This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 30 september 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

Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 14472-3:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 134 “Resilient,
textile and laminate floor coverings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This Technical Specification, Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings – Design, preparation and
installation, consists of the following four parts:
Part 1: General
Part 2: Textile floor coverings
Part 3: Laminate floor coverings
Part 4: Resilient floor coverings
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this CEN Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
European Standards are currently available for
• resilient, textile and laminated floor coverings
• classification schemes, which define the characteristics of a location where a floor covering is to be used,
and enable an appropriate product to be selected.
For these products to give satisfactory service, they also need to be installed competently, and to receive
appropriate maintenance in service.
Certain countries have issued guides and/or standards that define good practice for installation and
maintenance.
To date, although there has been substantial trade in floor coverings between different countries in Europe,
these have largely been installed using the methods of the country importing them. Relatively little installation
work has been conducted across European borders, but it is likely that this will increase.
The Technical Specification is not intended to replace the existing national guides or standards on installation.
Its purpose is:
a) to identify a framework of good practice common to the existing national standards,
b) to identify the principal technical differences in approach between them,
and hence
c) to foster good standards of installation across Europe, including countries where there is no national
standard on installation,
d) to enable a specifier to specify a common procedure for installation for work in his country, which may be
conducted by installers from other countries, and
e) to enable an installer to conduct work more easily in another country.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification provides recommendations for the installation of laminate floor coverings.
Generally laminate floor coverings are installed as floating floors but in some applications they can be
integrally glued to the subfloor. This Technical Specification only details suitable methods for floating floor
installation and advises on the selection of the materials required for their implementation.
The guidelines in this Technical Specification are intended for use in cases where manufacturer's instructions,
taking account of the national code of practice in the country where the installation is to be made, are not
available. References to the national codes that are currently available are listed in the bibliography of the
various parts of this Technical Specification.
This part 3 of the Technical Specification is intended for use in conjunction with part 1 that deals with general
matters relevant to textile and resilient floor coverings as well as to laminate floor coverings.
All parts of the Technical Specification are intended to supplement, and not conflict with, National Standards.
