BS EN 13413:2002 – Resilient floor coverings — Polyvinyl chloride floor coverings on a filled fibrous backing — Specification
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the characteristics of floor coverings with compact surface layers, made of polyvinyl chloride and modifications thereof, on a filled fibrous backing and supplied in roll form. To encourage the consumer to make an informed choice, the standard includes a classification system (see EN 685) based on intensity of use, which shows where these floor coverings should give satisfactory service. It also specifies requirement for marking.
