Resilient, textile, laminate and modular mechanical locked floor coverings - Light reflectance value (LRV) of a flooring surface

This document establishes a test and calculation method for resilient, textile, laminate and modular mechanical locked floor coverings.
This document is also intended to provide guidance for manufacturers, specifiers and consumers, to enable them to choose the appropriate performance of floor covering regarding the light reflectancy of the use surface.

Elastische, textile, Laminat- und modulare mechanisch verriegelnde Bodenbeläge - Lichtreflexionswert (LRV) einer Bodenoberfläche

Dieses Dokument legt ein Prüf  und Berechnungsverfahren für elastische, textile, Laminat- und modulare mechanisch verriegelte Bodenbeläge fest.
Dieses Dokument ist ebenfalls als Orientierungshilfe für Hersteller, Planer und Verbraucher gedacht, die geeignete Leistung von Bodenbelägen bezüglich der Lichtreflexion der Bodenoberfläche auszuwählen.

Revêtements de sol résilients, textiles, stratifiés et modulaires à verrouillage mécanique - Coefficient de réflexion lumineuse (LRV) d'une surface de sol

Le présent document établit une méthode d'essai et de calcul pour les revêtements de sol résilients, textiles, stratifiés et modulaires à clipsage mécanique.
Il est également destiné à fournir des lignes directrices aux fabricants, aux prescripteurs et aux consommateurs, afin de leur permettre de choisir les performances appropriées des revêtements de sol concernant la réflexion lumineuse de la couche d'usage.
