Flooring of lignified materials other than wood - Characteristics, assessment and verification of constancy of performance and marking

This European Standard defines and specifies the relevant characteristics, requirements and appropriate test methods for determination of the suitability of floorings made with at least a top layer of lignified material other than wood for use as internal flooring including in fully enclosed public transport premises.
The European Standards for specific flooring products made of lignified material other than wood to which this European Standard applies, and which provide product definitions, requirements for dimensional tolerances and other technical specifications, are the following:
- Bamboo flooring products (EN YYYYY),
- Palm flooring products (EN ZZZZZ).
This European Standard provides also for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance and the requirements for marking these products.
This European Standard covers flooring products made of lignified material other than wood which may or may not be treated to improve their reaction to fire performance or their durability against biological agents.
This European Standard does not apply to:
- flooring products specifically manufactured for enhanced tactile and recognition,
- wood flooring products covered by EN 14342,
- laminate flooring products covered by EN 14041.

Talne obloge iz nelesnih lignificiranih materialov - Lastnosti, ocenjevanje in preverjanje nespremenljivosti lastnosti ter označevanje

Ta evropski standard opredeljuje in določa ustrezne lastnosti, zahteve in preskusne metode za določanje primernosti talnih oblog, ki so izdelane z vsaj zgornjo plastjo iz lignificiranih materialov, razen lesa, za uporabo kot notranje talne obloge, vključno s popolnoma zaprtimi javnimi prevoznimi sredstvi. Evropski standardi za določene talne obloge, izdelane iz lignificiranih materialov, razen lesa, na katere se ta standard nanaša in ki navajajo definicije izdelkov, zahteve dimenzijskih toleranc in druge tehnične specifikacije, vključujejo naslednje: – izdelke talnih oblog iz bambusa (EN YYYYY), – izdelke talnih oblog iz kokosovega lesa (EN ZZZZZ). Ta evropski standard omogoča ocenjevanje in preverjanje nespremenljivosti lastnosti teh izdelkov in podaja zahteve za njihovo označevanje. Ta evropski standard zajema talne obloge, izdelane iz lignificiranih materialov, razen lesa, ki so lahko obdelani ali neobdelani za izboljšanje njihove odpornosti na ogenj ali vzdržljivosti proti biološkim dejavnikom. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za: – talne obloge, izdelane posebej za taktilne oznake in prepoznavanje, – lesene talne obloge, ki jih zajema standard EN 14342, – izdelke iz laminata, ki jih zajema standard EN 14041.

Introduction
This document deals with rigid flooring products made of lignified materials other than wood.
Testing of flooring products made of lignified materials other than wood is, in many aspects, similar to
testing of flooring products made of wood.
In this document, reference is made to a number standards of CEN/TC 38 “Durability of wood and derived
materials”, CEN/TC 112 “Wood-based panels” and CEN/TC 175 “Round and sawn timber”.

This document provides also additional product definitions, requirements for dimensional tolerances
and other technical specifications for specific flooring products made of lignified material other than
wood, such as: bamboo flooring products.
This document covers products intended to be installed as self-supporting flooring or supported by
battens on a subfloor or to be installed floating or glued on a subfloor.
This document provides for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance and the
requirements for marking these products.
This document covers flooring products made of lignified materials other than wood which may or may
not be treated to improve their reaction to fire performance or their durability against biological agents.
This document does not apply to:
— flooring products specifically manufactured for enhanced tactile and recognition;
— wood flooring products covered by EN 14342;
— laminate flooring products covered by EN 14041.
