To encourage the consumer to make an informed choice,this standard includes a classification system based on intensity of use, which shows where resilient floor coverings should give satisfactory service (see EN 685). It also includes requirements for marking. The term 'linoleum' is frequently incorrectly applied to a range of floorcovering , often to those based on PVC or rubber. Such materials are excluded.
