The main purpose of this International Standard is to give guidance to those organizations that protect consumers from exposure to chemical pollutants (that is, carcinogens, teratogens, irritants, odours) and resulting adverse health effects which could be caused by chemical emissions from materials. This protection can be effectively achieved by supporting the market demand for low-emitting flooring materials. In response to the need for improved consumer protection, different kinds of systems for evaluating material emissions have been developed in many countries and by industrial organizations. The International Standard ISO 10580:2010 has been prepared by ISO/TC 219 "Floor coverings" of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and been adopted as EN ISO 10580:2012 by Technical Committee CEN/TC 134 "Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings", the secretariat of which is held by BSI (United Kingdom). The collaboration of DIN at the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) for the field of responsibility of CEN/TC 134 is performed through NA 054-04-08 GA "Gemeinschaftsarbeitsausschuss FNK/NHM: Spiegelausschuss zu CEN/TC 134 und ISO/TC 219" ("Joint Working Committee FNK/NHM: Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 134 and ISO/TC 219").
