Foreword
This document (EN 650:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 134 “Resilient, textile and
laminate floor coverings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by March 2013.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 650:1996.
The following technical changes were introduced in this version:
 Wear group classification is based on one method (EN 660-2) instead of two (EN 660-1 and -2)
 A requirement on "wear layers" has been added
 A new table 3 was included. The original table 3 is now table 4.
 Annexes A and B were merged and new characteristics added (staining, cigarette resistance, curling
when wet)
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

1 Scope
This European Standard 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 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.
