4.2 Content of pentachlorophenol (PCP)1 Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings shall not contain PCP or a derivative thereof as a component in the production process of the product or of its raw materials. In cases where verification is required, if the content is less than 0,1 % by mass by the method of Annex B, this requirement shall be considered to be met. 4.3 Formaldehyde emission When formaldehyde-containing materials have been added to the product as a part of the production process, the product shall be tested and classified into one of two classes: E1 or E2, as specified in Table 4 and Table 5. NOTE Products of class E1 can be used without causing an indoor air concentration greater than 0,1 × 10-6
(0,1 ppm) of formaldehyde.
1 Attention is drawn to Commission Directive 1999/51/EC that covers restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances including PCP and is reflected in national regulations.

4.4 Water-tightness Where required, resilient floor coverings shall meet the requirements of EN 13553. 4.5 Slip resistance 4.5.1 Classification If a claim for slip resistance is made, the floor covering intended to be used in dry and non-contaminated conditions shall have a dynamic coefficient of friction of ≥ 0,30 when tested ex-factory under dry conditions in accordance with EN 13893 and shall be declared as technical class DS. Although such floors may be subjected to occasional spillage and wet cleaning, the manufacturer does not guarantee the performance under these conditions. If no claim for slip resistance is made, the floor coverings for which no performance has been determined shall be declared as technical class NPD.

Clean the test specimens three times, with an interval of 2 h ± 15 min between cycles, each cleaning cycle consisting of two strokes:
– for the first stroke use the spray extraction machine with simultaneous spray and extraction;
– for the second stroke operate the machine only as an extraction machine. Carry out the first cleaning cycle using the reference cleaning solution at ambient temperature 25 °C ± 10 °C and the second and third cleaning cycle with water at ambient temperature without any addition of chemicals. After this, the test of 4.6.2 shall be repeated and the requirements met. NOTE Dirt and application of polymers can affect the antistatic and electrical properties of resilient and laminate floor coverings.
