Resilient Floor Coverings: Polyvinyl Chloride Floor Coverings for Use in Special Wet Areas - Specification
Also Known As:
The minimal extra requirements for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) floor coverings to be used in specific wet locations and to ensure a long-lasting, waterproof installation are outlined in the BS EN 13553:2017 standard. The standard is applicable to a variety of PVC floor coverings, including roll form (as per EN ISO 10581 or EN ISO 10582), roll form PVC floor coverings with foam backing (EN 651), and roll form PVC floor coverings with particle-based increased slip resistance (EN 13845).
PVC floor coverings are divided into categories A and B according to the specification. The types of substrates that the floor coverings are meant to be used on are the basis for these classifications. The standard seeks to offer instructions on how to properly install PVC floor coverings in certain wet regions, ensuring that they adhere to the necessary requirements for water resistance and durability.
