If symbols are to be used for the use classes, luxury rating classes and additional characteristics, the symbols listed in CEN/TS 15398 shall be used which can also be found on www.floorsymbols.com. For very specific use such as airports, theatres or industrial use, the technical requirements should be discussed and agreed between all parties involved. 5 Identification requirements This clause specifies the characteristics for identification of the product and requirements for tolerances for the identifying properties. The manufacturer shall provide the following information in accordance with the definitions in ISO 2424:  commercial references,  type of bonding,  type of backing and shall declare the values of the characteristics in Table 2.
