Resilient floor coverings - Specification for plain and decorative linoleum (ISO 24011:2009)

ISO 24011:2009 specifies the characteristics of plain and decorative linoleum, supplied as either tiles or rolls.
To encourage the consumer to make an informed choice, ISO 24011:2009 includes a classification system based on the intensity of use, which shows where resilient floor coverings provide satisfactory service.
The term 'linoleum' is frequently incorrectly applied to a range of floor coverings, often to those based on poly(vinyl chloride) or rubber. Such materials are not included in ISO 24011:2009.

Elastische Bodenbeläge - Spezifikation für Linoleum mit und ohne Muster (ISO 24011:2009)

Diese Internationale Norm legt die Eigenschaften von Linoleum mit und ohne Muster fest, das entweder in Form von Platten oder Rollen geliefert wird. Um den Verbraucher bei seiner Auswahl zu unterstützen, enthält diese Internationale Norm ein Klassifizierungssystem auf Basis der Nutzungsintensität, das zeigt, wo für diese elastischen Bodenbeläge ein zufriedenstellender Nutzen möglich ist. Der Begriff "Linoleum" wird häufig fälschlicherweise auch für andere Bodenbeläge, oft für solche auf Basis von Polyvinylchlorid oder Elastomeren, verwendet. Derartige Materialien sind nicht in dieses Dokument eingeschlossen.

Revêtements de sol résilients - Spécifications pour le linoléum uni et décoratif (ISO 24011:2009)

L'ISO 24011:2009 spécifie les caractéristiques du linoléum uni et décoratif sous forme de rouleaux ou de dalles.
Pour aider le consommateur à faire son choix, l'ISO 24011:2009 inclut un système de classification basé sur l'intensité d'utilisation, indiquant l'endroit où il convient que le revêtement de sol résilient rende un service satisfaisant.
Le terme «linoléum» est fréquemment appliqué de manière incorrecte à une gamme de revêtements de sol, souvent à base de polychlorure de vinyle ou de caoutchouc. Ce type de produit n'est pas couvert par l'ISO 24011:2009.

Netekstilne talne obloge - Specifikacija za linolej brez vzorca in z vzorcem (ISO 24011:2009)

Ta mednarodni standard določa značilnosti linoleja brez vzorca in z vzorcem, ki je na voljo v obliki plošč ali zvitkov. Da bi ta dokument potrošnike spodbujal k sprejemanju utemeljenih odločitev, vsebuje sistem razvrščanja na podlagi intenzivnosti uporabe, ki kaže, kje bi se netekstilne talne obloge lahko zadovoljivo uporabljale. Izraz »linolej« se velikokrat napačno uporablja za različne talne obloge, pogosto za talne obloge na osnovi polivinilklorida ali gume. Taki materiali niso vključeni v ta dokument.

Overview

EN ISO 24011:2012 (identical to ISO 24011:2009) is the European/International specification for plain and decorative linoleum supplied as tiles or rolls. The standard defines identification, minimum composition limits, dimensional and performance requirements, and a user-focused classification system (intensity of use) so consumers and specifiers can make informed choices about resilient floor coverings. Note: materials such as PVC or rubber are not linoleum and are excluded from this standard.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Identification and composition
    • Linoleum is identified chemically (disintegration in 0.5 mol/L KOH/methanol) and by tests for cement content and ash residue (ISO 26985).
    • Minimum linoleum cement: 30% (by ISO 26985).
    • Maximum inorganic filler (ash residue): 50% (by ISO 26985).
  • Dimensional and manufacturing tolerances
    • Length/width/straightness for rolls and tiles (ISO 24341 / ISO 24342).
    • Overall thickness and surface layer thickness tolerances (ISO 24346, ISO 24340).
  • Performance requirements
    • Resistance to castor-chair action (ISO 4918) - no delamination, only slight appearance change allowed.
    • Residual indentation limits (ISO 24343‑1) and flexibility (ISO 24344).
    • Colour fastness to artificial light (EN ISO 105‑B02 or ASTM F1515), with procedures to remove stove-yellowing before measurement.
  • Classification by intensity of use
    • Uses ISO 10874 scheme (classes 21–23 domestic, 31–34 commercial, 41–43 light industrial).
    • Typical minimums: surface layer 0.8 mm / nominal overall thickness 2.0 mm for many domestic/commercial classes; 1.3 mm surface / 2.5 mm overall for higher-intensity commercial/industrial classes.
  • Marking, labelling and packaging
    • Must include standard reference, manufacturer ID, product name, colour/pattern, class symbols, dimensions, batch/roll numbers, and package area.

Applications and users

  • Who uses this standard:
    • Manufacturers for product specification, quality control and labelling.
    • Architects, interior designers and specifiers choosing linoleum for residential, commercial or light industrial projects.
    • Test laboratories performing conformance testing (thickness, cement/ash content, colour fastness, indentation).
    • Procurement officers and building owners verifying suitability (intensity of use classification).
    • Regulatory bodies and certification schemes referencing consistent product requirements.
  • Practical uses:
    • Product development and formulation control.
    • Creating datasheets and compliance documentation.
    • Selecting linoleum grades for expected traffic and environment.

Related standards

  • ISO 26985 (linoleum ID, cement/ash)
  • ISO 10874 (classification)
  • ISO 24340/24346/24341/24342 (thickness, dimensions)
  • ISO 4918 (castor chair), EN ISO 105‑B02 (colour fastness)
  • Annexed optional tests: EN 1081 (electrical resistance), EN 1815 (static), EN 1399 (cigarette resistance), ISO 9239/11925 (reaction to fire)

Keywords: EN ISO 24011:2012, ISO 24011, linoleum specification, resilient floor coverings, linoleum tiles, linoleum rolls, linoleum classification, linoleum testing.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
