Textile Floor Coverings - Classification
Also Known As:
A European standard called DIN EN 1307 specifies the criteria for classifying textile floor coverings, including carpet tiles. Rugs and runners are covered by ISO 2424; hence, this standard does not apply to them. This standard's objective is to classify textile floor coverings according to a variety of characteristics, including wear, appearance retention, additional performance characteristics, and luxury rating.
The classification provided in EN ISO 10874 is the foundation for the classification system described in DIN EN 1307. This indicates that the standard refers to and implements the EN ISO 10874 classification guidelines. Manufacturers and consumers can have a standardized way to classify textile floor coverings by adopting this classification system, which can aid in making decisions regarding their suitability for particular applications.
