1 Scope This European Standard describes and specifies the requirements for classification of needled floor coverings in sheet form into use classes in respect of wear and appearance retention and a class for luxury rating.
This European Standard is also applicable to tiles, the additional requirements for which are given in Annex A. This European Standard is not applicable to needled pile floor coverings. This European Standard refers to the classification as defined in EN 685. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 2424:2007 and the following apply. 3.1 non adhered tile (loose laid) tile installed without any use of a bonding system (see Annex A) [EN 1307:2008] 3.2 adhered removable tile tile installed with a bonding system allowing easy removal and reinstallation (see Annex A) [EN 1307:2008] 3.3 permanent adhered tile tile installed with a permanent bonding system (see Annex A) [EN 1307:2008] 3.4 nominal value value stated by the manufacturer 4 Description of categories and levels of use 4.1 Needled floor coverings categories Flat needled floor coverings shall be distributed in three categories: a) Type 1: one visible layer (homogeneous product); b) Type 2: more than one visible layer, the bonding compound of which does not reach the top of the use surface; c) Type 3: more than one visible layer, the bonding compound of which is present throughout its thickness. NOTE layers such as e.g. secondary backing should also be taken into consideration for the determination of the number of layers SIST EN 1470:2009

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 producer shall provide the following information in accordance with the definitions given in ISO 2424:  commercial references;  type of bonding (full impregnation or back coated);  type of backing. The producer shall also declare the values of the characteristics listed in Table 2. SIST EN 1470:2009
