25、loor coverings (as defined in 3.1). It includes a classification system, based on EN 685, giving practical requirements for areas of use and levels of use, to indicate where laminate floor coverings will give satisfactory service and to encourage the consumer to make an informed choice. It also spec

26、ifies requirements for marking and packaging. Laminate floor coverings are considered for domestic and commercial levels of use. This standard does not specify requirements relating to areas which are subjected to frequent wetting, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms or saunas, but it does apply to dom

27、estic kitchens. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

34、tions“ 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 laminate floor covering floor covering with a surface layer consisting of one or more thin sheets of a fibrous material (usually paper), impregnated with aminoplastic, thermosett

35、ing resins (usually melamine) NOTE By the simultaneous action of heat and pressure, these sheets are either pressed as such (HPL, CPL, Compact), and in the case of HPL and CPL bonded on a substrate (usually wood-based panels), or in the case of DPL directly pressed on a substrate (usually wood-based

36、 panels). The product is usually finished with a backing (e.g. HPL, CPL, impregnated papers and veneers), primarily used as a balancing material. 3.1.1 surface layer upper decorative layer intended to be the visible side when the floor is installed. NOTE This layer consists of sheets impregnated wit

37、h thermosetting resins, pressed by three different techniques. High-pressure laminates (HPL), as defined in EN 438; Continuous pressed laminates (CPL); Directly pressed to the substrate (DPL). 3.1.2 substrate core material of the laminate floor covering NOTE It is generally a particleboard, as defin

38、ed in EN 309, or a Medium Density Fibreboard or High Density Fibreboard (MDF or HDF), as defined in EN 316. 3.1.3 backing layer opposite to the surface layer NOTE The backing is generally made of HPL, CPL, impregnated papers or veneers. It is primarily used to balance and stabilise the product. 3.2

For special applications, such as decorative pattern effects, tighter tolerances may be required. The tolerances of the tongue and groove shall b

To determine the capability of laminate floor coverings to withstand ambient humidity variations, a laboratory test in controlled conditions shall be
