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
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. 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.

CEN/TS 14159:2004 (E)
Introduction
Owing to influences of the production process on the structure, textile floor coverings may
show variations in size and distortion. However, in many cases, certain discrepancies can be
worked away through professional and careful installation. By open communication between
manufacturer and installer, an agreement can be found between what is technically possible
in manufacturing, and at the same time technically workable during Installation.
The maximum distortions in pattern repeat specified in this Technical Specification are
applicable only to carpets with certain design styles ex-factory.
