Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings - Classification
ISO 10874:2009 establishes a classification system for resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings. The classification is based on practical requirements for areas of use and intensity of use and is linked to the requirements specified in the relevant International Standard for each type of floor covering. ISO 10874:2009 is also intended to provide guidance for manufacturers, specifiers and consumers, to enable them to choose the appropriate class of floor covering for any given area of use or specific room.
Revêtements de sol résilients, textiles et stratifiés — Classification
L'ISO 10874:2009 établit un système de classification pour les revêtements de sol résilients, textiles et stratifiés. Cette classification est basée sur des exigences pratiques relatives aux zones d'utilisation et à l'intensité d'utilisation et est liée aux exigences spécifiées dans la Norme internationale appropriée pour chaque type de revêtement de sol. L'ISO 10874:2009 est également destinée à fournir des lignes directrices aux fabricants, aux rédacteurs de descriptifs et aux clients pour les aider à choisir la classe appropriée de revêtement de sol pour toute zone d'utilisation donnée ou toute pièce spécifique.

Overview
ISO 10874:2009 specifies a practical classification system for resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings. The standard groups floor coverings by areas of use and intensity of use, enabling manufacturers, specifiers and consumers to choose the appropriate class for any room or application. The classification is linked to the performance requirements set out in the relevant international standards for each floor covering type and was prepared by ISO/TC 219 (Floor coverings).
Key Topics and Requirements
- Classification by use and intensity: Floor coverings are classified into domestic, commercial and light industrial categories with numeric class codes (e.g., 21–23 for domestic, 31–34 for commercial, 41–43 for light industrial).
- Class descriptors: Each class is described by expected intensity (e.g., moderate/light, general/medium, heavy, very heavy) to reflect realistic traffic and use conditions.
- Guidance for selection: Specifiers may opt for a higher or lower class than recommended depending on specific conditions.
- Interdependence with other standards: The classification is linked to the requirements in the relevant international standard for each floor covering type (see EN 685 as a referenced document).
- Consideration of influencing factors: Installation quality, maintenance regimes, subfloor condition, type of footwear and localized high-traffic areas affect wear and appearance and should be taken into account when using the classification.
Applications
ISO 10874:2009 is used to:
- Specify the appropriate floor covering class for rooms in residential buildings, offices, retail spaces, schools, healthcare and light industrial areas.
- Support procurement and product specification by matching intended use to an established class.
- Guide manufacturers in labelling and marketing products according to expected intensity-of-use classes.
- Assist facility managers, architects, interior designers and installers in making informed choices that reduce premature wear and lifecycle costs.
Practical value:
- Simplifies decision-making when selecting resilient floor coverings, textile carpets or laminate flooring for specific rooms.
- Helps align product selection with maintenance planning and expected service life.

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

Avant-propos
L’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d’organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l’ISO). L’élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée aux
comités techniques de l’ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du comité
technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales,
en liaison avec l’ISO participent également aux travaux. L’ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission
électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI, Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d’élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur publication
comme Normes internationales requiert l’approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres votants.
