Textile floor coverings - Classification of textile floor coverings without pile
This European Standard specifies the requirements for the classification of textile floor coverings without pile into use classes in respect of wear and appearance retention, and classes for luxury rating. This standard is applicable to all textile floor coverings without pile that are not covered in other standards, including EN 1307, EN 1470 and EN 13297.
This standard refers to the classification as defined in EN 685.
This standard is also applicable to tiles, the additional requirements for which are given in Annex A.
This standard is not applicable to rugs.
The symbols for the use classes, luxury rating classes and additional characteristics are listed in CEN/TS 15398 and can also be found on www.floorsymbols.com.
Textile Bodenbeläge - Einstufung textiler Bodenbeläge ohne Pol
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an die Einstufung von textilen Bodenbelägen ohne Pol in
Bahnenform in Gebrauchsklassen bezüglich Verschleiß und Aussehenserhalt fest. Diese Norm gilt nicht für
Fliesen, genadelte Bodenbeläge, genadelte Bodenbeläge mit Pol oder Polteppiche.
Revêtements de sol textiles - Classification des revêtements de sol textiles plats, tissés, tricotés ou aiguilletés sans velours
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences relatives à la classification en classes d’usage des revêtements de sol textiles sans velours, en fonction de la résistance à l’usure et de la conservation d’aspect, ainsi qu’en fonction des classes de confort. La présente Norme s’applique à tous les revêtements de sol sans velours non traités dans d’autres normes, y compris dans l’EN 1307, l’EN 1470 et l’EN 13297.
La présente Norme se rapporte à la classification telle que définie par l’EN 685.
Cette Norme s’applique également aux dalles dont les exigences complémentaires figurent à l’Annexe A.
Cette Norme ne s’applique pas aux carpettes.
Les symboles correspondant aux classes d’usage, aux classes de confort et aux caractéristiques complémentaires sont répertoriés dans le CEN/TS 15398 et se trouvent également sur le site web www.floorsymbols.com.
