Foreword
This European Standard (EN 13845:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 134
“Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
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 February 2006, and conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2006.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy,
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
Introduction
The ramp test is a means of assessing the slipperiness of floors under wet conditions. Ramps of
different designs exist and CEN/TC 134 therefore decided not to standardise on a ramp design. The
aim of this European Standard is to establish and standardise the principle of testing and specify the
parameters to be followed when designing a ramp device and when testing with it.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the characteristics of floor coverings with sustainable enhanced slip
resistant characteristics under specified conditions based on polyvinyl chloride and modifications
thereof, supplied in either tile or roll form.
To encourage the consumer to make an informed choice, this European Standard includes a
classification system (see EN 685) based on intensity of use, which shows where resilient floor
coverings should give satisfactory service.
In addition, this European Standard details the requirements for the information to be included on the
packaging labels.
The slip measurements are made in a laboratory on ex-factory floor covering surfaces only. The
method described is suitable for testing on wet surfaces.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN 12466:1998 and
the following apply.
3.1
enhanced slip resistance
capacity of a floor covering to counteract slipping under wet conditions
3.2
floor covering with particle based enhanced slip resistance
floor covering with a wear surface modified to provide sustainable enhanced slip resisting properties
under specified conditions. The floor covering can have other solid layers which may differ in
composition and/or design and may contain a reinforcement. This type of floor covering contains
various aggregate or identifiable particles of different hardness to the surface layer such as cork which
are to be present in the surface layer throughout the normal wear life of the product. They do not
necessarily form a distinctive, measurable surface layer and have specific tests designed to measure
the performance
3.3
polyvinyl chloride floor covering
floor covering with surface layers produced using polyvinyl chloride and modifications thereof as
binder
3.4
aggregate
natural or synthetically coloured mineral granules, such as quartz and aluminium trioxide, that can be
used to provide and maintain the surface roughness of a resilient floor covering
3.5
wet-loaded area
area in which the floor coverings are generally wet and walked on. These are in buildings used by the
public and for industrial purposes, such as for example in baths, changing rooms, washrooms, toilets,
sluice rooms, kitchens, etc.
3.6
barefoot area
area where the floor is primarily intended for barefoot use such as in shower trays and pool surrounds
3.7
footwear area
area where the floor is intended for use with shoes and other types of footwear
4 Requirements
4.1 General requirements
Floor coverings described in this European Standard shall comply with the appropriate general
requirements specified in Table 1, when tested in accordance with the methods given therein.
4.2 Classification requirements
Floor coverings described in this European Standard shall be classified as suitable for different levels
of use in accordance with the performance requirements specified in Table 2, when tested with the
