For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA which is an integral part of this document.
The following significant technical changes have been implemented in this new edition:
— New terminology of the CPR
— EoC is changed in Assessment and verification of constancy of performance – AVCP
— DOP (New clause)
— ITT is changed in Product Type determination
1 Scope

gymnasia and used for example one or more of the following sports: volleyball, basketball, badminton, small sided
football, handball, physical education….
It provides for the evaluation of conformity of products, which include their upper (playing) surface and supporting

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
Sport floor system
Sport floor surface
Sport floor
combination of all elements of the construction that influence the sportive dynamic properties of the floor
3.2
Sport floor covering
the top playing layer
3.3
Sub-construction
combination of elements which give no sportive properties
3.4
facilities for multi-sports use
sports halls where more than one sport is played on the surface, e.g. handball, basketball, volleyball, five-a-side
football, and which may also be used for physical education and other sporting activities
3.5
area-elastic sports floor
sports floor systems, to which the application of a point force causes deflection over a relatively large area around
the point of application of the force
3.6
point-elastic sports floor
sports floor systems, to which the application of a point force causes deflection only at or close to the point of
application of the force
3.7

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 14904:2014
prEN 14904:2014 (E)
combined-elastic sports floor
area-elastic sports floor systems with a point-elastic top layer, to which the application of a point force causes both
localized deflection and deflection over a wider area
3.8
mixed-elastic sports floor
point-elastic sports floor systems with a synthetic area-stiffening component
4 Characteristic of installation
A technical datasheet, installation guide and a maintenance instruction for the sports floor has to be handed over
from the producer of the sports floor to ensure that the system can get installed and maintained properly and to
guarantee the essential characteristics declared.
5 Essential characteristics
5.1 Reaction to fire
5.1.1 Specimen preparation and conditioning
Preparation of test specimens shall be as defined in the appropriate fire test standard.
The specimens shall be tested on one of the two standard substrates specified for floorings in EN 13238, according
to the intended end use.
The composition of the product, including the presence of any fire retardant additive (if applicable), shall be
declared by the manufacturer prior to type testing.
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 body.
5.1.2 Application rules
For point-elastic and mixed-elastic sport floors the whole system should be tested on the standard substrates for
floorings defined in EN 13238 according to their intended use.
For area-elastic and combined elastic sports floors, the top layer, the load distribution plate and the elastic layer (or
the sleeper layer when applicable) should be tested.
EN 9239-1 equipment could be modified in order to test floors with a thickness up to 55 mm. If the assembly of the
top layer with the load distribution plate and the elastic layer (or the sleeper layer when applicable) exceeds 55 mm,
it is possible to test specimens with a thickness inferior or equal to 55 mm. In this case, the specimens tested
should be representative of the fire behaviour of the assembly of these three layers.
If the specimens are tested on the combustible substrate (not fire retardant treated particleboard) for floorings
specified in EN 13238, the test result is also valid on the non-combustible (fibre cement board) specified in
EN 13238.
NOTE 1 the reason is that the use of a non-combustible substrate will provide an improvement to the fire behaviour of the
sport floor.
If the specimens are tested using an adhesive, the test result is valid for the tested sport floor with that adhesive or
the generic adhesive type corresponding to this adhesive, in end use conditions.
If the specimens are tested without using an adhesive, the test result is valid for the tested sport floor with and
without using adhesives in end use conditions.

prEN 14904:2014 (E)
NOTE 2 The reason is that the use of an adhesive will provide an improvement to the fire behaviour of the sport floor
5.1.3 Classification
If a claim for reaction to fire performance is made, the sports floor shall be tested and classified according to the
requirements of EN 13501-1 and the resulting class and subclass shall be declared.
If it is decided to make no claim for reaction to fire performance, i.e. it is decided to place a product or family of
products on the market as Class F , no testing is required for this product or family of products.
fl
The products listed in Tables 1, 2 and 3, in the end uses identified in the tables, are classified without further testing
(CWFT) in the classes shown and do not require testing in respect of these end uses and classes.
NOTE The provisions of Tables 1, 2 and 3 are subject to final approval by the Standing Committee for Construction. Users
of this standard should, therefore, refer to the published EC Decisions, when they become available, to verify the details. Any
changes necessary to these standards will be published in a Corrigendum.
