Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings - Classification

This European Standard establishes a classification system for resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings. The classification is based on practical requirements for areas of use and intensity of use and is linked to the requirements specified in the European Standard for each type of floor covering.
This European Standard is also intended to give guidance to manufacturers, specifiers and consumers to enable them to choose the appropriate class of floor covering for any given area of use or specific room.
NOTE   The wear and appearance of floor coverings are influenced by standards of installation and maintenance, the condition of the subfloor and the kind of use (type of footwear, high concentrations of localized traffic, etc). These factors should be taken into account when using this classification system.

Elastische, textile und Laminat-Bodenbeläge - Klassifizierung

Dieses Dokument stellt ein Klassifizierungssystem für elastische, textile und Laminat-Bodenbeläge auf. Dieser Klassifizierung liegen praktische Anforderungen an Verwendungsbereiche und Nutzungsintensität zugrunde. Sie ist an die Anforderungen gebunden, die in den Europäischen Normen für jede Art von Bodenbelägen festgelegt sind.
Dieses Dokument soll außerdem Herstellern, Ausschreibern und Verbrauchern einen Leitfaden geben und sie in die Lage versetzen, die geeignete Klasse von Bodenbelägen für einen vorgesehenen Verwendungsbereich oder für spezielle Räume auszuwählen.
ANMERKUNG  Die Abnutzung und das Aussehen von Bodenbelägen werden durch die Art der Installation und Pflege, die Bedingungen des Untergrunds und die Art der Nutzung (Typ des Schuhwerks, hohe örtliche Nutzungsintensität usw.) beeinflusst. Diese Faktoren sollten bei der Anwendung dieses Klassifizierungssystems beachtet werden.
