Resilient, textile, laminate and modular multilayer floor coverings - Essential characteristics
This European Standard specifies the essential characteristics for the following types of floor coverings:
- resilient floor coverings, excluding loose-laid mats;
- textile floor coverings, excluding loose-laid (barrier) mats, runners and rugs;
- laminate floor coverings;
- modular multilayer floor coverings.
These types of floor coverings may or may not be formulated to enhance the performance of one or more essential characteristics.
These types of floor coverings are intended for internal use as floor coverings within a building according to the manufacturer's specifications.
For these types of floor coverings this European standard specifies the assessment methods for determination of performances of the essential characteristics, the ways of expressing their performance, the systems for assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) their marking.
This standard does not specify requirements of floor coverings, which are not related to the essential characteristics as defined in Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.
This standard does not cover installation or maintenance of the floor coverings.
Elastische, textile, Laminat- und modulare mehrschichtige Bodenbeläge - Wesentliche Merkmale
Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt die wesentlichen Merkmale für folgende Bodenbelagtypen:
- elastische Bodenbeläge, ausgenommen lose liegende Matten;
- textile Bodenbeläge, ausgenommen lose liegende (Schutz-)Matten, Läufer und Teppiche;
- Laminatböden;
- modulare mehrschichtige Bodenbeläge.
Diese Arten von Bodenbelägen können dazu entworfen sein, die Leistung eines oder mehrerer der wesentlichen Merkmale zu verstärken oder auch nicht.
Diese Arten von Bodenbelägen sind für den Gebrauch als Bodenbeläge innerhalb eines Gebäude nach den Festlegungen des Herstellers bestimmt.
Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt für diese Arten von Bodenbelägen die Bewertungsmethoden für die Bestimmung der Leistung der wesentlichen Merkmale, die Möglichkeiten ihre Leistung auszudrücken, die Bewertungs- und Überprüfungsprozesse für die Leistungsbeständigkeit (AVCP) und deren Kennzeichnung.
Diese Norm legt keine Anforderungen an Bodenbeläge fest, die nicht mit den in der Verordnung (EU) Nr. 305/2011 definierten wesentlichen Eigenschaften in Verbindung stehen.
Diese Norm umfasst nicht die Verlegung oder Pflege der Bodenbeläge.
Revêtements de sol résilients, textiles, stratifiés et multicouches modulaires - Caractéristiques essentielles
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les caractéristiques essentielles des types suivants de revêtements de sol :
- les revêtements de sol résilients, à l’exclusion des tapis en pose libre ;
- les revêtements de sol textiles, à l’exclusion des tapis, passages et carpettes (barrières) en pose libre ;
- les revêtements de sol stratifiés ;
- les revêtements de sol multicouches modulaires.
Ces types de revêtements de sol peuvent être ou non formulés afin de renforcer les performances d’une ou de plusieurs caractéristiques essentielles.
Ces types de revêtements de sol sont destinés à être utilisés comme revêtements de sol à l’intérieur d’un bâtiment, conformément aux spécifications des fabricants.
Pour ces types de revêtements de sol, la présente Norme européenne spécifie les méthodes d’évaluation pour la détermination des performances des caractéristiques essentielles, les moyens d’exprimer ces performances, les systèmes d’évaluation et de vérification de la constance des performances (EVCP) ainsi que le marquage.
La présente norme ne spécifie pas les exigences relatives aux revêtements de sol qui ne sont pas liées aux caractéristiques essentielles définies dans le Règlement (UE) N° 305/2011.
La présente norme ne traite pas de la pose ni de l’entretien des revêtements de sol.
Netekstilne, tekstilne, laminirane (plastene) in večplastne talne obloge - Bistvene značilnosti
Ta standard zajema tudi talne plošče za nepritrjeno polaganje, ki vsebujejo vsaj enega izmed naštetih izdelkov. Posnema sisteme za ocenjevanje in preverjanje nespremenljivosti zmogljivosti (AVCP), ki bo opravljeno za izdelek. Izdelki so namenjeni za uporabo kot talne obloge znotraj zgradbe, skladno s specifikacijami proizvajalca. Ta standard se ne uporablja za talne obloge, ki vsebujejo azbest, rakotvorne snovi ali mutagene snovi skupine 1A in 1B.
Ta standard ne določa zahtevanih lastnosti izdelka, ki niso povezane z zdravjem, varnostjo in prihrankom energije. Takšne zahteve zajemajo ločeni evropski standardi (glej dodatek A, informativni). Za pravilno izvedbo sta potrebna pravilna namestitev in vzdrževanje oblog. Ta dokument ne zajema nameščanja ali vzdrževanja, temveč podaja smernice za zmanjševanje nevarnosti za zdrse (glej dodatek C, informativni).

European foreword
This document (EN 14041:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 134 “Resilient,
textile and laminate floor coverings”, the secretariat of which is held by NBN.
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 July 2018, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by October 2019.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 14041:2004.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements for construction works of
Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011.
For relationship with Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral
part of this document.
The major changes between this version of the standard and the superseded version can be
summarized as the following:
General
The product group “modular multilayer floor coverings” has been introduced in the title, scope and has
been added throughout the remaining text were applicable. (including Annex ZA).
4. Essential Characteristics
4.2 Content of dangerous substances
Following the mandate M/119 rev on Dangerous Substances and the answer prepared by CEN/TC 134
and approved by the EC, the former clause “4.2 Content of pentachlorophenol (PCP)” has been
integrated into a more detailed “Clause on content of dangerous substances.
4.6 Slip resistance
The content of this clause has been updated and, according to the answer to the mandate, it is now
applicable to all types of floor coverings covered by this standard.
4.7 Thermal resistance (Thermal conductivity)
The content of this clause has been updated and, according to the answer to the mandate, the option to
either declare thermal resistance or thermal conductivity has been added.
5. Assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP)
This clause replaces the former clause “Evaluation of conformity”; an official template for this clause is
provided by CEN, which has to be implemented. Clause 5 follows this template.
Annex D (normative) Product parameters for defining product families
The former Annex D has become Clause 5. The current Annex D is an updated version of the previous
Clause D.8. Separate sections per product group for the different essential characteristics have been
introduced. The following clauses have been added:
D.2 Product parameters related content of dangerous substances
D.3 Product parameters related to emission of dangerous substances into indoor air
D.4 Product parameters related to slip resistance performance
D.5 Product parameters related to electrical behaviour performance
Annex E (normative) Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH)
This Annex has been added as there was no standardized test method available for determining
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) at the moment of submitting this standard to CEN formal vote.
Annex F (normative) Determination of phthalates
This Annex has been added as there was no standardized test method available for determining
phathalates at the moment of submitting this standard to CEN formal vote.
Annex G (informative) Example for a Supplier declaration on raw materials or constituent
products
This Annex has been added as guidance for preparing a supplier declaration.
Annex H (normative) Azocolourants – Restricted Aromatic Amines
This Annex has been added to provide more details on the restricted aromatic amines and azo-dyes.
Annex I (normative) List of pictograms used for an alternative way of expressing the
performance of certain characteristics
