scope:

This European Standard specifies the characteristics of multi-layer semi-rigid floor covering with a wear-resistant and decorative surface layer supplied in panels (either tile or plank form). The surface should not be covered by other European product standards, e.g. EN ISO 10581, EN ISO 10582, EN ISO 24011, or EN 12104. The floor panels are considered suitable for domestic and commercial levels of use. This European Standard does not apply to resilient floor panels for loose-laying according to EN 14085. This European Standard does not apply to areas which are subject to frequent wetting, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, saunas. This European Standard also includes requirements for marking and packaging.
