DIN EN 649:2011-05

This European Standard specifies the characteristics of homogeneous and heterogeneous floor coverings, based on polyvinyl chloride and modifications thereof, supplied in either tile or roll form. To encourage the consumer to make an informed choice, this standard includes a classification system (see EN 685) based on intensity of use, which shows where these floor coverings should give satisfactory service. The standard also specifies requirements for marking.

The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 054-04-05 AA "Bodenbeläge" ("Floor coverings") of the Plastics Standards Committee (FNK).
