This European standard specifies the characteristics of resilient floor coverings based on polyurethane and modifications thereof supplied in either roll or tile form. This specification does not apply for floor coverings that are specified in ISO 10582, ISO 24011, EN 1817 or EN 14565. To encourage the consumer to make an informed choice, the standard includes a classification system (see ISO 10874) based on intensity of use, which shows where these floor coverings should give satisfactory service. It also specifies requirements for marking.
