    Defines the characteristics of agglomerated cork with a wear layer based on polyvinyl chloride and modifications thereof.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard specifies the characteristics of agglomerated cork with a wear layer based on polyvinyl chloride and modifications thereof. To encourage the consumer to make an informed choice, the European 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 requirements for marking.
