BS EN 13845:2017 PDF Download

The features and specifications for floor coverings composed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials with improved slip resistance are outlined in BS EN 13845:2017. These floor coverings, which come in tile or roll form, are designed to have long-lasting, slip-resistant qualities.

The standard provides a classification system based on use intensity in order to aid consumers in making educated decisions. The EN ISO 10874 classification system aids in determining the level of service that floor coverings have to provide in various application areas. The standard also outlines the details that must be included on packaging labels in order to give consumers pertinent information.

Measurements of slip resistance for these floor coverings are made in a lab setting, specifically on surfaces that are identical to those at the time of manufacture. The testing procedure can be used to measure slip resistance on wet surfaces, according to the standard.
