This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 30 september 2003 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available. It
is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible
conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 14472-2:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 134 “Resilient,
textile and laminate floor coverings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
The Technical Specification CEN/TS 14472, Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings — Design,
preparation and installation, consists of the following four parts:
Part 1: General
Part 2: Textile floor coverings
Part 3: Laminate floor coverings
Part 4: Resilient floor coverings
This document includes a Bibliography.
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text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn
at the latest by December 2003.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands,
Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
European Standards are currently available for:
• many of the floor covering types on the market in Europe;
• classification schemes, which define the characteristics of a location where a floor covering is to be used,
and enable an appropriate product to be selected
For these products to give satisfactory service, they need to be installed competently, in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, with the appropriate national code of practice for textile floor covering or following
the advice of this part of the Technical Specification. It is also important that they receive appropriate
maintenance in service according to the manufacturer's instructions.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification provides recommendations for the installation of textile floor coverings. It covers
all products composed of textile material with a pile or non-pile use surface, and includes the laying of carpet
tiles (excluding rugs). It details suitable methods of installation and advises on the selection of the materials
required for their implementation.
The guidelines in this Technical Specification are intended for use in cases where manufacturer's instructions,
taking account of the national code of practice in the country where the installation is to be made, are not
available. References to the national codes that are currently available are listed in the bibliography of the
various parts of this Technical Specification.
This Part 2 of the Technical Specification is intended for use in conjunction with Part 1 that deals with general
matters relevant to resilient and laminate floor coverings as well as textile floor coverings.
All parts of the Technical Specification are intended to supplement and not conflict with national standards.
2 Normative references
This Technical Specification incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed
hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to
this Technical Specification only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references
the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).
CEN/TS 14472-1:2003 Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings – Design, preparation and installation
– Part 1: general.
ISO 2424 Textile floor coverings – Vocabulary.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this Technical Specification 14472, the terms and definitions given in ISO 2424 and in
CEN/TS 14472-1 apply together with the following:
3.1
underlayment
thin layer, applied to a screed to provide a smooth and/or flat surface to receive the floor covering.
3.2
interlay
thin flexible sheet, supplied in 1-2 meter wide rolls. This interlay is laid below foam backed carpets to facilitate easy
removal and to stop foam adhesion to the subfloor. Dust and other subfloor contamination are stopped from being
transferred onto the underfelt or floor covering. The interlay gives enhanced thermal insulation properties to the floor
covering.
3.3
carpet underlay
coherent layer of textile or other material placed beneath an exposed floor covering.
NOTE It can be fibrous, non-fibrous or combined. It provides underfoot comfort, sound absorbing and energy
absorbing properties. (A standard that specifies minimum requirements for carpet underlays is currently being prepared
by CEN/TC 134).
3.4
electrostatic discharge sensitive device (ESDS)
discrete device, integrated circuit or assembly that may be damaged by electrostatic fields or electrostatic
discharge encountered in routine handling, testing or transit (IEC 61340-5-1)
3.5
electrostatic protected area (EPA)
area in which an ESDS can be handled with accepted risk of damage as a result of electrostatic discharge or
fields ( IEC 61340-5-1)
3.6
crotch (of stair-tread)
junction of the lower edge of the riser with the rearmost edge
3.7
shading
general description given to a number of optical effects in the appearance of textile floor coverings due to
localised alterations in the orientation of the fibres, tufts or loops. This is not
