Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 14472-1:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 134 “Resilient,
textile and laminate floor coverings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
The Technical Specification CEN/TS 14472, 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
This document includes a Bibliography.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn
at the latest by December 2003.
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 laminate floor coverings
• classification schemes that 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.
This Technical Specification and national codes of practice for the installation of floor coverings give guidance on
the associated design and building work that should be addressed if the floor covering installation is to be
conducted successfully. These references are not intended as comprehensive guidance on the wider aspects of
that work, which should be conducted in accordance with the appropriate codes. Certain codes for the wider
aspects of design and building work are listed in the bibliographyof this Technical Specification and/or in national
codes on the installation of floor coverings.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification gives recommendations for the installation of resilient, textile and laminate floor
coverings in new or existing buildings. It describes procedures in design, installation and maintenance which are
in use throughout Europe for all floor covering materials and highlights the major differences that may exist in
different national procedures.
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.
All parts of the Technical Specification are intended to supplement, and not conflict with, National Standards.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this Technical Specification, the following terms and definitions apply:
2.1
fabricated substrate
manufactured board made from wood, wood particles or wood fibres in panel form, calcium sulfate (gypsum),
etc., to provide a suitable surface to receive the specified floor covering.
2.2
screed (see EN 13318)
layer of well compacted material, commonly a mixture of cement and aggregate, applied in situ to a concrete
base at the appropriate thickness.
2.3
mastic asphalt
mixture of bitumen and an inert mineral aggregate.
2.4
impregnation
treatment of a base or a screed by application of a liquid product intended to penetrate the pores without forming a
continuous layer on the surface.
2.5
levelling layer
layer of compacted material, applied in situ to a sound base or screed where there is a need to raise the level of the floor
surface to level a floor that is out of true, or to give a uniform absorbency where water-based adhesives are to be used.
2.6
flowing screed
insitu applied material that sets hydraulically or by chemical cure. Normally a proprietary compound to be
used in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. It is poured or pumped directly to the concrete
slab to form a smooth level surface, ready to receive most floor coverings.
2.7
anhydrite screed
formulated flowing screed based on hydraulically setting calcium sulfate.
2.8
underlay
for definition of this term as applied to specific types of floor covering see parts 2, 3 and 4 of this document.
3 Exchange of information
3.1 General
In order for the correct floor covering to be installed in appropriate conditions, at the right time, etc, it is
essential that all parties have a clear understanding of the requirements of the project, e.g. new build or
refurbishment, and of the implications for all concerned. To ensure that this is achieved, it is essential that
there is wide consultation between all parties involved in the project, including sub-contractors and materials
suppliers. This consultation should start early in the design stage but will be necessary throughout the
contract, especially should requirements or time scales change and as new sub-contract work is initiated.
As each project will be unique it is impossible to give a definitive list of the information to be exchanged, but
the following are typical examples.
3.2 Project
The name and location of projects and personnel involved in pre-contract negotiations should be identified.
3.3 Contract conditions
A programme for commencement and completion of work should be defined, including any specific
requirement for sequenced completion.
3.4 Special attendance
Access, unloading, hoisting and storage facilities, heat, light and power and any additional items considered
necessary to expedite the work should be provided.
3.5 Design
3.5.1 General
The flooring layout and specifications
