Laminate floor coverings are considered for domestic and commercial levels of use, e.g. for use in domestic kitchens. This standard does not specify requirements related to areas that are subject to frequent wetting, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms or saunas.
Laminatböden - Elemente mit einer elektronenstrahlgehärteten Deckschicht auf Acryl-Basis - Spezifikationen, Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Diese Europäische Norm legt Eigenschaften, Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Laminatböden mit einer elektronenstrahlgehärteten Deckschicht auf Acryl-Basis fest, wie in 3.1 und 3.2 definiert.
Sie enthält ein Klassifizierungssystem, das auf EN ISO 10874 basiert, mit praktischen Anforderungen für bestimmte Verwendungsbereiche und Beanspruchungsklassen. Dies dient dazu aufzuzeigen, in welchen Bereichen Laminatböden zufriedenstellend eingesetzt werden können, sowie dazu, den Verbraucher in die Lage zu versetzen, informiert eine Auswahl zu treffen. Sie legt ebenfalls Anforderungen an Kennzeichnung und Verpackung fest.
Laminatböden sind im Allgemeinen zur schwimmenden Verlegungen in den Anwendungsgebieten "Wohnen" und "Gewerblich" bestimmt, einschließlich einer Verwendung in Küchen im Wohnbereich. Dieses Dokument legt keine Anforderungen für die Verwendung in Bereichen fest, die regelmäßig Nässe ausgesetzt sind wie etwa Badezimmer, Hauswirtschaftsräume oder Saunen. Im Allgemeinen können Laminatböden in diesen Bereichen nur verwendet werden, wenn dies durch den Hersteller zugesichert wird und unter den in den Installationsrichtlinien des Herstellers beschriebenen Bedingungen.
Revêtements de sol stratifiés - Éléments à parement à base acrylique traités par des faisceaux d'électrons - Spécifications, exigences et méthodes d'essai
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les caractéristiques, exigences et méthodes d'essai relatives aux revêtements de sol stratifiés à parement à base acrylique traités par des faisceaux d'électrons tels que définis aux 3.1 et 3.2.
Elle comporte un système de classification fondé sur l’EN ISO 10874, qui donne les exigences pratiques relatives aux zones et niveaux d’utilisation, afin d’indiquer les cas où les revêtements de sol stratifiés peuvent être utilisés de manière satisfaisante et ainsi aider le consommateur à faire un choix en toute connaissance de cause. Elle spécifie également les exigences relatives au marquage et à l'emballage.
Les revêtements de sol stratifiés sont généralement conçus pour une pose flottante et sont destinés à des usages domestiques et commerciaux, y compris les cuisines domestiques. Le présent document ne spécifie pas d'exigences relatives aux lieux soumis à une humidification fréquente, comme les salles de bain, les buanderies ou les saunas. En général, les revêtements de sol stratifiés ne peuvent être utilisés dans ces zones que lorsque le fabricant l’autorise et dans des conditions décrites dans les lignes directrices d’installation du fabricant.
