La présente Norme s’applique a tous les revetements de sol sans velours non traités dans d’autres normes, y compris dans l’EN 1307, l’EN 1470 et l’EN 13297.
La présente Norme se rapporte a la classification telle que définie par l’EN 685.
Cette Norme s’applique également aux dalles dont les exigences complémentaires figurent a l’Annexe A.
Cette Norme ne s’applique pas aux carpettes.
Les symboles correspondant aux classes d’usage, aux classes de confort et aux caractéristiques complémentaires sont répertoriés dans le CEN/TS 15398 et se trouvent également sur le site web www.floorsymbols.com.

EN 15114:2006 (E) 7 4.2 Levels of use & classification 4.2.1 General Textile floor coverings without pile are classified as to their suitability for use according to different circumstances (see Table 3). The two classification properties, wear and change in appearance, are intended to indicate suitability according to use intensity (level of classes 21 to 33 in increasing order of use intensity). The symbols for the use classes, luxury rating classes and additional characteristics are listed in CEN/TS 15398 and can also be found on www.floorsymbols.com The level of use class allocated to a floor covering is the lower of the classes obtained after application of 4.2.2, 4.2.3 and 4.2.4.

4.2.2 Classification for change in appearance
Carpets shall be tested in accordance with ISO 10361 in either the Hexapod or the Vettermann apparatus using the number of cycles for short and long term tests specified in Table 4. The tested specimens shall be assessed in accordance with EN 1471 and the median grade for overall change in appearance shall conform to the requirements specified in Table 4.
