Laminate floor coverings. Elements with a surface layer based on aminoplastic thermosetting resins. Specifications, requirements and test methods (British Standard)
This European Standard specifies characteristics, states requirements and gives test methods for laminate floor coverings (as defined in 3.1).
It includes a classification system, based on EN 685, giving practical requirements for areas of use and levels of use, to indicate where laminate floor coverings will give satisfactory service and to encourage the consumer to make an informed choice. It also specifies requirements for marking and packaging.
Laminate floor coverings are considered for domestic and commercial levels of use. This standard does not specify requirements relating to areas which are subjected to frequent wetting, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms or saunas, but it does apply to domestic kitchens.
