This document establishes a classification system for resilient, textile, laminate and modular mechanical locked floor coverings. The classification is based on practical requirements for areas of use and intensity of use and is linked to the requirements specified in the relevant documents for each type of floor covering.
This document is also intended to provide guidance for manufacturers, specifiers and consumers, to enable them to choose the appropriate class of floor covering for any given area of use or specific room.
NOTE
The wear and appearance of floor coverings are influenced by standards of installation and maintenance, the condition of the subfloor and the kind of use (type of footwear, high concentrations of localized traffic, etc.). These factors are intended to be taken into account when using this classification system.
