Overview

EN ISO 10595:2012 (ISO 10595:2010) specifies requirements for resilient floor coverings - semi‑flexible / vinyl composition (VCT) poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) floor tiles. It defines construction types, mandatory test methods, minimum performance levels and marking to help manufacturers, specifiers and consumers make informed choices. Products covered may include a transparent, non‑PVC factory finish and must be non‑asbestos formulated.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Product identification and types: Three construction types are defined - Type I (solid‑colour), Type II (through‑pattern), Type III (surface‑pattern).
  • Mandatory properties and test methods:
    • Overall thickness (ISO 24346) and dimensional tolerances (ISO 24342)
    • Dimensional stability and curling after heat exposure (ISO 23999)
    • Impact resistance (ASTM F1265)
    • Flexibility / deflection (ISO 24344)
    • Indentation and residual indentation (ISO 24343‑3)
  • Classification by use (see ISO 10874): A use‑class system links intensity of use to minimum required overall thickness and minimum wear‑layer thickness (examples in the standard include domestic classes 21–23, commercial classes 31–34 and light industrial classes 41–43). This classification helps match VCT and semi‑flexible tiles to intended applications.
  • Marking requirements: Packages or tiles must be marked with ISO 10595:2010 reference, manufacturer/supplier ID, product name, colour/pattern and batch number, applicable class/symbol and tile dimensions/area per package.
  • Optional / application‑specific tests (informative annex): electrical resistance, static propensity, stain resistance, reaction to fire (ISO 9239‑1, ISO 11925‑2), resistance to heat and light, smoke density and other methods referenced (ASTM/EN/JIS standards).

Applications and users

  • Who uses it: floor tile manufacturers, quality/control labs, architects, interior specifiers, building owners, facility managers and procurement teams.
  • Practical value:
    • Ensures consistent product performance (durability, dimensional stability, indentation, impact resistance) for VCT and semi‑flexible PVC tiles.
    • Facilitates correct product selection via ISO 10874 use classes (domestic, commercial, light industrial).
    • Supports compliance and labeling for product traceability and specification in contracts and tenders.

Related standards

  • ISO 10874 - Classification of resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings
  • ISO 24340 / 24342 / 24343‑3 / 24344 / 24346 - Test methods referenced for thickness, dimensions, indentation and flexibility
  • ISO 23999 - Dimensional stability after heat exposure
  • ISO 9239‑1, ISO 11925‑2 - Reaction to fire tests (optional)
  • ASTM F1265, ASTM F150, EN 423, EN 1081 - Additional referenced test methods

Keywords: EN ISO 10595:2012, ISO 10595, resilient floor coverings, vinyl composition tile (VCT), PVC floor tiles, semi‑flexible floor tiles, classification, marking, thickness, indentation, impact resistance.

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.
