European foreword
This document (prEN 16810:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 134 “Resilient,
textile, laminate and modular mechanical locked floor coverings”, the secretariat of which is held by NBN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 16810:2017.
— underlays added to the scope;
— alignment of the standard with the latest updated version of EN 15804 i.e. EN 15804:2012+A2:2019;
— module A1, A2, A3 declared separately;
— module B3 as optional and to be adapted to the SL considered;
— integration of application rules for mass balance model.
Introduction
This document provides core product category rules for resilient, textile, laminate and modular
mechanical locked floor coverings. It is based on the principles laid down in EN 15804 and in
EN ISO 14025 and modified to suit the specific needs of the product families addressed in the scope of
this document.
It provides a structure to ensure that all Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) for resilient, textile
and laminate floor coverings processes are derived, verified and presented in a harmonized way.
An EPD communicates verifiable, accurate, non-misleading environmental information for products and
their applications, thereby supporting scientifically based, fair choices and stimulating the potential for
market driven continuous environmental improvement.
EPD information is expressed in information modules, which allow easy organization and expression of
data packages throughout the life cycle of the product. The approach requires that the underlying data
should be consistent, reproducible and comparable.
The EPD is expressed in a form that allows aggregation (addition) to provide complete information for
buildings. This document does not deal with aggregation at the building level nor does this document
describe the rules for applying EPD in a building assessment.
The document deals with a limited number of quantifiable predetermined parameters. Future revisions
may incorporate additional parameters.
This document provides the means for developing a Type III environmental declaration of resilient,
textile and laminate floor coverings.
1 Scope
This document provides product category rules (PCR) for Type III environmental product declarations
(EPD) for resilient, textile, laminate and modular mechanical locked floor coverings, as well for underlays
specific to these floor coverings.
This document applies to the following products:
— resilient floor coverings manufactured from plastics, linoleum, cork or rubber, including loose-laid
mats;
— textile floor coverings, including loose-laid mats, rugs and runners;
— laminate floor coverings;
— modular mechanical locked floor coverings;
— underlays.
An EPD can be developed for single or individual products, product groups and average products.
