Scope

This document specifies a procedure for the determination of the dimensional changes and distortion out of plane likely to take place when textile floor coverings and tiles are subjected to varied water and heat conditions.

The method is applicable to all textile floor coverings and textile floor coverings in tile form.

Purpose

Introduction of ISO 2551:2020 “Textile floor coverings and textile floor coverings in tile form — Determination of dimensional changes due to the effects of varied water and heat conditions and distortion out of plane” to supersede EN 986:2005 “Textile floor coverings - Tiles - Determination of dimensional changes due to the effects of varied water and heat conditions and distortion out of plane”.

Rationale: ISO 2551:2020 actually is an updated version of EN 986:2005.
