CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 14215:2003 and EN 15825:2010. List of sig
19、nificant technical changes: this standard supersedes the previous edition of EN 14215 and also EN 15825:2010. Hence the scope covers also machine-made rugs and runners without pile; the normative references were updated and new references were included; new classification codes and new criteria were
20、 introduced for the use intensity classes (Clause 6); luxury classes were based only on the mass of pile per unit area above the substrate (SPW); a class LC1 was introduced (Clause 7); Annex A was extended to a wider range of materials; Annex B was deleted. The new Annex B corresponds to the previou
21、s Annex C (stair suitability) but was thoroughly reworked; A new Annex C was added on the test report; A new Annex D was added: a list of equivalent terms in four languages (English-French-German-Dutch). According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the f
22、ollowing countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherland
