DIN EN 16776:2016-09

The European Standard specifies the characteristics of heterogeneous resilient floor coverings based on polyurethane with thermosetting properties supplied in either roll, planks or tile form. This specification does apply for floor covering consisting of a wear layer and other compact layers made from polyurethane which differ in composition, chemical crosslinking and/or design and can contain a decor layer, reinforcement and other backing. This specification does not apply for floor coverings that are specified in EN ISO 10582, EN ISO 24011, EN 1817 or EN 14565. To encourage the consumer to make an informed choice, the standard includes a classification system (see EN ISO 10874) based on intensity of use, which shows where these floor coverings should give satisfactory service. It also specifies requirements for marking. The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 054-04-05 AA "Bodenbeläge" ("Floor coverings") of DIN Standards Committee Plastics (FNK).
