Class 33 should be used as the basis to which additional
requirements are added to provide an individual full specification.
The symbols for the use classes and examples of use are listed in EN 685
For very specific use such as airports, theatres or industrial use, the technical requirements
should be discussed and agreed between all involved parties.
5 Identification requirements
This clause specifies the characteristics for identification of the product and requirements for
tolerances for the identifying properties.
The manufacturer shall provide the following information in accordance with the definitions in ISO
2424:
commercial references;
type of manufacture (tufted, woven, flocked etc.);
type of pile (loop, cut, etc.);
