Textile Floor Coverings - Requirements for Tolerances on (Linear) Dimensions of Rugs, Runners, Carpet Tiles and Wall-to-Wall Carpet and for Tolerances on Pattern Repeat
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14159 standard is primarily concerned with defining the tolerances for the dimensions of different textile floor coverings, including rugs, runners, carpet tiles, and wall-to-wall carpet. In order to guarantee that these floor coverings meet particular size requirements, the standard establishes the maximum acceptable tolerances for linear dimensions.
The standard addresses pattern repeat tolerances in addition to dimension tolerances. It defines standards for allowable pattern distortions, ensuring that the consistency of the pattern is kept within allowable bounds. By establishing these requirements, DIN EN 14159 seeks to guarantee a high level of consistency and quality in the production of textile floor coverings.
Manufacturers must adhere to this standard in order to ensure that the floor coverings they produce have the desired dimensions and consistency in design. Additionally, it helps give customers precise information about the size and pattern of the floor coverings they are buying.
