Committee:: PRI/60 - Resilient, textile, laminate and modular mechanical locked floor coverings
Categories:: Information management | Standardization. General rules | Manufacturing | Textile and leather technology | Commercial and Consumer Goods | Floor coverings. Non-textile

Scope

This European Standard specifies the requirements for cork underlays made from agglomerated cork designed to be used in conjunction with any type of resilient floor covering to improve its acoustical performance and/or to provide a base for any rigid floor coverings. Optionally, they may be used to improve thermal performance. This standard also specifies requirements for marking and labelling.

Purpose

The standard needs to be reviewed is outdated and must be adapted to citing the currently valid test and evaluation methods. compressive strength and compressive creep are to be added as requirement, as well as thermal resistance, which is optional in the current version. Life cycle assessment will be added as optional.
