(Main)Resilient, textile, laminate and modular multilayer floor coverings - Essential characteristics
Resilient, textile, laminate and modular multilayer floor coverings - Essential characteristics
This standard specifies the essential requirements for:
- resilient floor coverings manufactured from plastics, linoleum, cork or rubber, excluding loose-laid mats;
- textile floor coverings, excluding loose-laid (barrier) mats and rugs;
- laminate floor coverings
Floor panels for loose-laying containing at least one of the above products are also covered by this standard
It reproduces the system(s) for Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) of product(s), to which the product shall be submitted.
The products are intended for use as floor coverings within a building according to the manufacturer's specifications.
This standard does not apply to floor coverings containing asbestos, carcinogens or mutagens of categories 1A and 1B
This standard does not specify product requirements, which are not related to health, safety and energy saving. Such requirements are covered by separate European Standards (see Annex A, informative).
To perform correctly, floor coverings require correct installation and maintenance. However, this document does not cover installation or maintenance, but does give advice on minimising slippage hazards (see Annex C, informative).

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withdrawn at the latest by October 2019.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The major changes between this version of the standard and the superseded version can be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.

— 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.

4 Essential characteristics
4.1 Reaction to fire
4.1.1 Specimen preparation and conditioning
Test specimens shall be prepared as specified in EN 13501-1 and CEN/TS 15447. In the case of textile
floor coverings, a washing and cleaning procedure similar to commonly used in real life may be
required to verify the durability of surface fire retardant treatments (see 4.1.3).
One of the two standard substrates specified for floorings in EN 13238 shall be selected according to the
intended end use.
Prior to type testing the manufacturer shall declare the relevant composition of the product, including
the presence of any fire retardant additive (if applicable) to the relevant notified testing laboratory.
4.1.2 Application rules
If the specimens are mounted using an adhesive prior to testing, the test result is valid for the tested
floor covering with that adhesive, or the generic adhesive type, in end use conditions (see EN 13501-1).
If the specimens are tested without using an adhesive, the test result is valid for the tested floor
covering with and without using adhesives in end use conditions.
If the specimens are tested on a wooden substrate the test result for the tested floor covering is also
valid for end-use conditions on a non-combustible substrate.
4.1.3 Durability aspects
Reaction-to-fire properties of a floor covering are deemed to be durable for the expected life-time of the
products without testing.
However, when a fire retardant has been directly applied to the exposed (used) surface of a floor
covering by spray, foam or other technology, specimens shall be subjected to a laboratory cleaning
procedure.
For textile floorcovering, the spray-extraction cleaning procedure according to ISO 11379 shall be used
with the following modifications:
a) the specimens shall be cleaned three times, with an interval of (120 ± 15) min between cycles, each
cleaning cycle consisting of two strokes:
— for the first stroke: use the spray extraction machine with simultaneous spray and extraction;
— for the second stroke: operate the machine only as an extraction machine.
b) the first cleaning cycle shall be carried out using the reference cleaning solution at ambient
temperature (25 ± 10) °C and the second and third cleaning cycle with water at ambient
temperature without any addition of chemicals.
4.1.4 Classification
If no claim for reaction-to-fire performance is made, i.e. if a product or family of products is placed on
the market as class F , no reaction-to-fire testing shall be required for this product or family of
fl
products.
If a claim for reaction-to-fire performance is made, the floor covering shall be tested and classified
according to the requirements of EN 13501-1. The resulting class and subclass (as appropriate to the
class itself) shall be declared.
