This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2011, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the
13、 latest by October 2011. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 687:1997. According to the CEN/CE

BS EN 687:2011EN 687:2011 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the characteristics of plain and decorative linoleum on a corkment backing as a comp
16、ound floor covering, supplied in roll form. To encourage the consumer to make an informed choice, the standard includes a classification system based on intensity of use, which shows where resilient floor coverings should give satisfactory service (see EN 685). It also includes requirements for mark
17、ing. The term “linoleum“ is frequently incorrectly applied to a range of floor coverings, often to those based on polyvinyl chloride or rubber. Such materials are not included in this European Standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application o

NOTE 2 The only chemical cross-linking bondings in linoleum will be those which are formed during the oxidation process. 4 Identification
25、Linoleum shall be identified by its ability to be disintegrated in 0,5 mol/l potassium hydroxide/methanol solution and by the determination of cement content and ash residue. The minimum amount of linoleum cement shall be 30 % when tested in accordance with EN 670. The maximum amount of inorganic fi
26、ller (ash residue) shall be 50 % when tested in accordance with EN 670. Corkment shall be identified by its ability to be disintegrated in 0,5 mol/l potassium hydroxide/methanol solution. 5 Requirements 5.1 General requirements All classes of linoleum on corkment backing shall comply with the approp
