DIN EN ISO 24342:2013-04

This International Standard specifies methods for determining side lengths, straightness of edges and squareness of resilient or textile floor tiles. The side lengths, straightness and squareness of resilient or textile floor tiles are important considerations because installed flooring will have an objectionable appearance if these performance criteria are not followed. This may cause the installed tiles to line up unevenly, producing unsightly seams and corners that do not match. This standard differs from DIN EN ISO 24342:2012-04 as follows: a) clause 6 "Atmosphere for conditioning and testing" has been subdivided into 6.1 "Resilient floor coverings" and 6.2 "Textile floor coverings" and explained in each case. This document contains an amendment of the standard ISO 24342:2007 and has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 219 "Floor coverings" of the International Organization of standardization (ISO) and been adopted as EN ISO 24342:2012 by Technical Committee CEN/TC 134 "Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings", the secretariat of which is held by BSI (United Kingdom). Collaboration of DIN at the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) for the field of responsibility of CEN/TC 134 (secretariat: BSI, United Kingdom) is performed through NA 054-04-08 GA "Gemeinschaftsarbeitsausschuss FNK/NHM: Spiegelausschuss zu CEN/TC 134 und ISO/TC 219" ("Joint Working Committee of CEN/TC 134 and ISO/TC 219").
