Resilient floor coverings - Polyvinyl chloride floor coverings for use in special wet areas - Specification
Also Known As:
The minimum standards for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) floor coverings to be utilized in specific wet areas are outlined in the DIN EN 13553 standard. It applies to PVC floor coverings in roll form that meet EN ISO 10581 or EN ISO 10582 standards, PVC floor coverings with foam backing that meet EN 651 standards, and PVC floor coverings that meet EN 13845 standards for particle-based increased slip resistance. The goal of the standard is to make sure that these floor coverings can be set up successfully in damp locations, resulting in an installation that is watertight and has a long lifespan.
Two categories, A and B, are listed in the standard and are intended for usage on various substrates. The categories most likely have certain specifications and traits that are suitable for various kinds of installations.
