Overview
EN 652:2011 is a CEN European Standard that specifies requirements for resilient floor coverings made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with a cork-based backing, supplied in roll or tile form. The standard defines product characteristics, required tests, classification rules to inform end‑users about suitability for different intensities of use, and mandatory marking information so consumers and specifiers can make informed choices.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Applies to PVC (and modifications thereof) floor coverings with cork-based backing, both tiles and sheets/rolls.
- Classification: Uses a consumer-oriented classification scheme referenced to EN 685:
- Wear groups (T, P, M, F) determined by wear testing (EN 660-2).
- Level of use classes (domestic, commercial, industrial) based on simulated castor/furniture movement, wear layer thickness and seam strength.
- Essential properties and test methods: Products must meet general requirements when tested to the referenced methods. Key referenced tests include:
- EN 660‑2 - wear resistance (Frick‑Taber)
- EN 428 / EN 429 - overall thickness and backing thickness
- EN 430 - mass per unit area
- EN 431 - peel resistance
- EN 433 - residual indentation after static loading
- EN 434 - dimensional stability and curling after heat
- EN ISO 105‑B02 - colour fastness to artificial light
- EN 425 / EN 424 / EN 684 - castor chair, simulated furniture leg, seam strength (for classification)
- Marking requirements: Packaging/product must include EN 652:2011 reference, manufacturer ID, product name, colour/pattern and batch, applicable class/symbols, roll dimensions (length, width, thickness) or tile dimensions and area per package.
- Optional / additional tests: Annex A lists optional properties (electrical resistance EN 1081, electrostatic propensity EN 1815, stain resistance EN 423). Annex B lists additional test methods (moisture curling EN 662, volatile loss EN 664, exudation EN 665, etc.).
Applications and who uses this standard
- Manufacturers and product developers - to design, test and declare conformity of PVC + cork-backed flooring.
- Testing laboratories - to perform standardized assessments for performance and classification.
- Architects, specifiers and interior designers - to select suitable flooring by level of use and performance criteria.
- Procurement officers, facility managers and installers - to verify product marking, dimensions and suitability for intended traffic.
- Regulators and certification bodies - for market surveillance and standard conformity checks.
