This document specifies a method to determine the sensitivity of a textile floor covering for appearance change after water has been spilled and dried on the surface.
This change can be:
a)   a colour change;
b)   a change in structure;
c)   migration and concentration of chemicals coming from the product.
NOTE   A concentration of chemicals on a part of the surface can cause accelerated uneven soiling of textile floor coverings.

This document specifies a method for assessing the wind-opposed burning behaviour and spread of flame of horizontally mounted floorings exposed to a heat flux radiant gradient in a test chamber, when ignited with pilot flames. Annex A gives details of assessing the smoke development, when required.
This method is applicable to all types of flooring, e.g. textile carpet, cork, wood, rubber and plastics coverings as well as coatings. Results obtained by this method reflect the reaction to fire performance of the flooring, including any substrate if used. Modifications of the backing, bonding to a substrate, underlay or other changes of the flooring can affect test results. It cannot be used alone to describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of floorings under actual fire conditions.
Information on the precision of the test method is given in Annex B.

The aim of this document is to provide general recommendations and guidelines on how to design a product to optimize its reuse and recyclability at the end of its lifetime as well as to take into account sustainable sourcing of materials for all floor covering product groups covered by CEN/TC 134. The overall target is to avoid waste and pollution and to achieve a product fit for the circular economy.
In a linear economy, the focus of product design is on developing new products without considering the recycling or reuse of the raw materials used.
This document provides guidance for processes allowing for (raw) materials used to be returned to the economic cycle based on circular design principles. The focus is on open systems that allow for economically interesting alternatives and are not limited to the principle of closed cycles (product to product).
Specific attention is given to renewable materials, where applicable.
The document is structured along the life cycle of the products, starting with the production phase.
Excluded is packaging, which is not considered part of the product end-of-life stage.
