18、ebruary 2006.

19、ly, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. EN 13845:2005 (E) 4 Introduction The ramp test is a means of assessing the slipperiness of floors under wet conditions. Ramps of different designs exist
20、 and CEN/TC 134 therefore decided not to standardise on a ramp design. The aim of this European Standard is to establish and standardise the principle of testing and specify the parameters to be followed when designing a ramp device and when testing with it. EN 13845:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This European
21、 Standard specifies the characteristics of floor coverings with sustainable enhanced slip resistant characteristics under specified conditions based on polyvinyl chloride and modifications thereof, supplied in either tile or roll form. To encourage the consumer to make an informed choice, this Europ
22、ean Standard includes a classification system (see EN 685) based on intensity of use, which shows where resilient floor coverings should give satisfactory service. In addition, this European Standard details the requirements for the information to be included on the packaging labels. The slip measur
23、ements are made in a laboratory on ex-factory floor covering surfaces only. The method described is suitable for testing on wet surfaces. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard.

29、 covering with particle based enhanced slip resistance floor covering with a wear surface modified to provide sustainable enhanced slip resisting properties under specified conditions. The floor covering can have other solid layers which may differ in composition and/or design and may contain a rein
30、forcement. This type of floor covering contains various aggregate or identifiable particles of different hardness to the surface layer such as cork which are to be present in the surface layer throughout the normal wear life of the product. They do not necessarily form a distinctive, measurable surf
31、ace layer and have specific tests designed to measure the performance 3.3 polyvinyl chloride floor covering floor covering with surface layers produced using polyvinyl chloride and modifications thereof as binder 3.4 aggregate natural or synthetically coloured mineral granules, such as quartz and al
32、uminium trioxide, that can be used to provide and maintain the surface roughness of a resilient floor covering 3.5 wet-loaded area area in which the floor coverings are generally wet and walked on. These are in buildings used by the public and for industrial purposes, such as for example in baths, c
33、hanging rooms, washrooms, toilets, sluice rooms, kitchens, etc. 3.6 barefoot area area where the floor is primarily intended for barefoot use such as in shower trays and pool surrounds 3.7 footwear area area where the floor is intended for use with shoes and other types of footwear 4 Requirements 4.
34、1 General requirements Floor coverings described in this European Standard shall comply with the appropriate general requirements specified in Table 1, when tested in accordance with the methods given therein. 4.2 Classification requirements Floor coverings described in this European Standard shall
35、be classified as suitable for different levels of use in accordance with the performance requirements specified in Table 2, when tested with the methods given therein.
