Golvbeläggningar

This document specifies the characteristics of floor coverings based on polyvinyl chloride and modifications thereof, on jute or polyester backing or on polyester felt with polyvinyl chloride backing, supplied in either tile or roll form. To encourage the consumer to make an informed choice the document includes a classification system (see EN ISO 10874) based on intensity of use, which shows where these floor coverings give satisfactory service. It also specifies requirements for marking.

This document specifies methods for determining dimensional stability and curling (vertical deformation) of resilient floor coverings in all forms (e.g. of sheets, tiles, panels, planks or in rolls) after exposure to heat and/or after reconditioning. 

This part of ISO 11378 describes the equipment and the test method for assessing the propensity of textile floor coverings to soiling in the absence of abrasive wear and texture changes using a standard artificial soil composition. This test method is applicable for use in testing unused textile floor coverings of all types. The scope of this test method can be extended to assess the effects of fibre finishes, cleaning chemicals and cleaning equipment (see annex A).
