EN 14041:2004 (E)

Foreword
This document (EN 14041:2004) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 134 “Resilient, textile
and laminate floor coverings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn
at the latest by May 2006.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Scope

This document specifies the health, safety and energy saving requirements for:
• resilient floor coverings manufactured from plastics, linoleum, cork or rubber, excluding loose-laid mats;
• textile floor coverings, excluding loose-laid mats and rugs;
• laminate floor coverings;
• floor panels for loose-laying.

It also specifies procedures for testing for the evaluation of conformity of the products and the requirements
for marking and labelling.
The products are intended for use as floor coverings within a building or externally, according to the
manufacturer's specifications.
This document does not apply to floor coverings containing asbestos.
This document does not specify requirements unrelated to health, safety and energy saving, which are
covered in the separate European Standards for these products, listed in Annex A. To perform correctly,
products covered by this standard require correct installation and maintenance. This document does not,
however, cover installation or maintenance, but does give advice on minimising slip hazards.

Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 12466:1998 and ISO 2424:1992 and
the following apply.
3.1
family of products
range of products within defined limits of variability (defined by the manufacturer or a technical specification)
of the product parameters and, if relevant, end-use parameters, for which the defined safety property remains
unchanged (does not get worse)

Requirements

4.1

Reaction to fire

4.1.1

Specimen preparation and conditioning

Preparation of test specimens shall be as defined in the appropriate fire test standard, except in the case of
textile floor coverings where a washing and cleaning procedure similar to that used in practice may be
required to verify the durability of surface fire retardant treatments (see 4.1.3).
The specimens shall be tested on one of the two standard substrates specified for floorings in EN 13238:2001
according to the intended end use.
The composition of the product, including the presence of any fire retardant additive (if applicable), shall be
declared by the manufacturer prior to type testing.
4.1.2

Application rules

If the specimens are tested using an adhesive, the test result is valid for the tested floor covering with that
adhesive, or the generic adhesive type, in end use conditions.
If the specimens are tested without using an adhesive, the test result is valid for the tested floor covering with
and without using adhesives in end use conditions.
4.1.3

Classification

If a claim for reaction to fire performance is made, the floor covering (except as provided for below) shall be
tested and classified according to the requirements of EN 13501-1:2002 and the resulting class and subclass
(as appropriate to the class itself) shall be declared.
If it is decided to make no claim for reaction to fire performance, i.e. it is decided to place a product or family of
products on the market as Class Ffl, no testing is required for this product of family of products.
The products listed in Tables 1, 2 and 3, in the end uses identified in the tables, are classified without further
testing (CWFT) in the classes shown and do not require testing in respect of these end uses and classes.
NOTE
The provisions of Tables 1, 2 and 3 are subject to final approval by the Standing Committee for Construction.
Users of this standard should, therefore, refer to the published EC Decisions, when they become available, to verify the
details. Any changes necessary to these standards will be published in a Corrigendum.

EN 14041:2004 (E)

Annex C
(informative)
Guidance on the reduction of slip hazards

C.1 General
The interaction of feet, shod or bare, with flooring materials governs slipping. The slip resistance of a floor in
service depends on the nature of its surface, and this may change over the lifetime of the floor. Slip resistance
is adversely affected by the presence of contamination; the most common contaminant is water but others
including oil, grease, soap, dust, lint and sand are also possible.
It is important to remember that coefficient of friction is only one indicator of slip resistance and the two terms
should not be interchanged. Slip resistance is not a constant nor an intrinsic property of any floor or floor
covering material. Surface roughness is another property that may be usefully considered.
Resilient, laminate and textile floor coverings and other flooring surfaces in common use usually have
acceptable slip resistance provided they are clean, dry, free from oil, fat and other slippery substances and
have received appropriate treatment after installation, and continue to receive appropriate maintenance in
service.
Many slip incidents do not result in serious injury. A thorough investigation to uncover the root causes of such
incidents and comprehensive records of these events will help identify problem areas and allow action to be
taken before a serious accident does occur. Records may also allow patterns to be identified, giving further
clues to the action required to reduce the hazard.

C.2 Design
The measures that can be taken by designers, in consultation with their clients, to promote safe conditions in
service include:
•

considering the likely contaminants that will be present in service and specifying the floor surface and
measures required for draining it accordingly;

•

anticipating the cleaning and maintenance regime necessary and making the necessary provisions for it;

•

providing adequate entrance flooring systems at foyers and entrances to intercept water and dirt brought
in by traffic. The effective length of the entrance flooring system should allow for a minimum of two
footfalls for each foot;

•

entrance flooring systems will only remain effective if properly cleaned and maintained and replaced when
necessary. Matting should be securely fixed so that it does not present a tripping hazard;

•

the use of canopies over entrances;

•

positioning entrances to reduce the effects of prevailing weather;

•

the use of ventilation systems to help reduce the ingress of wet weather.

Poor lighting, inside or outside, can significantly increase the risk faced by pedestrians. Limited lighting may
also skew individuals' perceptions or expectations of the degree of slipperiness of a walking surface. Steps,
stairs and ramps also present an increased risk and should be clearly identified and well lit.

17

EN 14041:2004 (E)

Accidents will generally occur when unexpected differences in floor conditions are encountered. It is often the
difference between the dry and wet (contaminated) coefficient of friction that is important. Specifiers should
remember this and not simply choose a floor covering material with a high dry coefficient of friction value. It is
also good practice to avoid significantly different flooring materials (in terms of their slip resistance) in adjacent
areas. It is also important to recognise that many flooring materials will change merely on installation, for
example by the application of polishes; after all, it is the installed floor that will be walked on.
If contamination is likely to be present, then flooring with enhanced slip resistance should be used. The use of
such floorings is particularly important on steps and sloping areas and in areas where falls in gradient are
used to drain water from foreseeable wet areas (expert advice should be sought).

C.3 Service
The measures that can be taken by the owner or occupier of the building to promote safe conditions in service
include identifying potentially wet areas and using an appropriate surface there, establishing an effective
cleaning/maintenance procedure that uses appropriate cleaning materials/dressings and includes entrance
flooring systems, confirming that these procedures are conducted at the appropriate frequency and using
normal measures of good house keeping.
Various European Directives require the employer to make an assessment of the risks of slipping caused by
conditions in his workplace and to take the necessary measures to minimize them.
Areas of class DS floor coverings wet as a result of cleaning should be clearly identified and small areas of
local contamination should be cordoned off. Freshly cleaned surfaces should be completely dry before
pedestrian traffic is allowed to return. Signs used during cleaning should be removed once the floor has dried;
failure to do this will result in their effectiveness being significantly reduced.
The frequency of cleaning and maintenance regimes should be determined by the numbers (normal and peak
levels) and type (children, elderly, disabled etc.) of pedestrians who will use the floor.
Good housekeeping practices are the first defence against slip and fall accidents. Good housekeeping is
therefore a state to be maintained rather than merely achieved. One way to facilitate this, especially in
situations where spills etc. are common, is to leave absorbent materials at conspicuous accessible points
throughout the facility. The resources required to clean up spills etc. are far less than those involved if an

accident were to occur.
In occupational settings it is often possible to control the footwear to be worn. An informed choice of footwear
may offer some protection against the incidence of slipping accidents. Footwear should also be properly
cleaned and maintained to remain effective. In situations where no control over footwear is possible the
condition of the floor will be even more crucial in reducing the likelihood of slipping accidents. People pulling
or pushing loads will generally require a surface with a higher slip resistance to operate safely.

C.4 User responsibility
Water and other liquids are arguably the substances that most often makes floors slippery. Spills of tea, coffee,
cleaning solution, rinse water and other liquids are too hazardous to leave until the cleaners arrive. Water or
other spilt liquids on the floor are primarily the responsibility of the person who spilt them and that person
should remove them immediately and alert others to the hazard while he does so.
Slip resistance can only be maintained by frequent effective cleaning with appropriate detergent and cleaning
tools. The flooring product manufacturer may provide details of cleaning methods. When a wet cleaning
process is used a thorough final rinse with clean water is particularly important.

18


EN 14041:2004 (E)

C.5 Conclusion
The information given in this annex is aimed at raising the awareness of the problem of slips and falls and
resultant injuries. However, in giving advice on how to help reduce some of the major contributors to such
accidents, it can only provide guidance rather than an absolute guarantee.

Annex D
(normative)
Factory production control and reaction to fire testing

D.1 General
Factory production control (FPC) means the permanent internal control of production exercised by the
manufacturer. FPC shall be based on:
– control of raw material;
– process control;
– calibration plan;
– testing of finished products;
– traceability.
All elements, requirements and provisions adopted by the manufacturer shall be documented in a systematic
manner in the form of written policies and procedures. This production control system documentation shall
ensure a common understanding of quality assurance and enable the achievement of the required product
characteristics and the effective operation of the production control system to be checked.
A manufacturer applying EN ISO 9001 made specific to the product or product family is deemed to satisfy the
FPC requirements.

D.2 Control of raw material
The manufacturer shall ensure that raw and constituent materials conform to his specified requirements. In
determining the checks required, consideration shall be given to the control exercised by the supplier and the
documented evidence of conformity.

D.3 Process control
In order to manufacture products which conform to this European Standard, the manufacturer shall control his
process and perform inspection and tests as described in the production control system documentation.

D.4 Calibration plan

Test equipment shall be calibrated and/or checked against equipment or standard materials traceable to
relevant internationally or nationally recognized reference standards in accordance with a calibration plan. The
minimum frequencies of calibration shall be recorded in the manufacturer's manual.

20


EN 14041:2004 (E)

D.5 Testing of finished products
D.5.1 Direct testing
The manufacturer shall regularly test the finished products. The tests shall be carried out in accordance with
the standard test methods specified in this standard or, in the case of indirect testing, in accordance with D.5.2.
The sample shall be drawn periodically from each production unit according to the manufacturer's test plan.

D.5.2 Indirect assessment
Normally the testing is to be performed according to the test method given in this product standard. However,
indirect assessment is permitted. Indirect assessment is defined as verifying a specified property X through
another property Y, if there is a known relationship between these two properties for the product in question
and the evidence of this relationship can be demonstrated.
For each indirect testing procedure applied at a place of production, the sampling plan and the compliance
criteria for the indirect property shall be specified, taking into account the relevant relationship between the
direct and indirect test methods.

D.6 Inspection and testing status of products
The inspection and testing status of the product or product family shall be identified by means which clearly
indicate the conformity or non-conformity of the product or product family with regard to the inspections and
tests performed.
All results of inspection, calibration and testing shall be recorded together with:
– a description of the product or product family;

– the date of manufacture;
– the testing method;
– the test result;
– the signature of the person carrying out the inspection.
When products do not conform to the requirements of this standard, the corrective measures to be taken to
rectify the situation (e.g. a further test carried out, modification of the manufacturing process, discarding or
rectifying of product) shall be made in the manufacturer's log. The manufacturer’s log shall be kept for at least
five years.

D.7 Traceability
It is the manufacturer’s, or the manufacturer’s agent’s responsibility to keep full records of individual products
or product batches, including their related manufacturing details and characteristics and to keep records of to
whom these products or batches were first sold. Individual products or batches of products and the related
manufacturing details shall be completely identifiable and retraceable.

D.8 Product parameters influencing reaction to fire performance
The product parameters shown in Table D.1 influence the reaction to fire performance of floor coverings.
When testing a family of products for initial type testing, the provisions of Table D.1 shall apply.
Table D.1 – Product parameters influencing reaction to fire performance of textile, resilient and
laminate floor coverings
Parameters

Comments

Composition

Each floor covering with different composition, built-up or surface layer
shall be tested separately.

Thickness

If a floor covering is produced with a range of different nominal thickness
this shall be considered when testing. At least the minimum and
maximum thickness shall be tested (one test each) and for the worst
case a complete set of tests shall be done. The worst case determines
the classification.

Mass per unit area or
density

If a floor covering is produced with a range of different nominal mass per
unit area or density this shall be considered when testing. At least the
minimum and maximum mass per unit area or density shall be tested
(one test each) and for the worst case a complete set of tests shall be
done. The worst case determines the classification.

Surface structure

If a floor covering is produced with several different surface structures
and it is assumed that this will influence the fire performance this shall
be considered when testing. Each surface structure shall be tested (one
test each) and for the worst case the complete set of tests shall be done.
The worst case determines the classification.

Colour and design

Colour and design of a floor covering have no effect on the reaction to
fire behaviour unless different colour and design change the composition
or other parameters as mentioned above.

The parameters shown in Table D.2 are incorporated in the test methods.

Annex ZA
(informative)
Clauses of this European Standard addressing essential requirements or
other provisions of EU Directives

ZA.1 Scope and relevant clauses
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association.
The clauses shown in this annex meet the requirements of the mandate given under the EU Construction
Products Directive (89/106).
Compliance with these clauses confers a presumption of fitness of the construction product covered by this
European Standard for its intended use(s) under the mandate.
This annex ZA has the same scope as clause 1.
WARNING: Other requirements and other EU Directives, not affecting fitness of intended use(s), may be
applicable to the construction products falling within the scope of this European Standard.
NOTE 1
In addition to any specific clauses relating to dangerous substances contained in this standard,
there may be other requirements applicable to the products falling within its scope (e.g. transposed European
legislation and national laws, regulations and administrative provisions). In order to meet the provisions of the EU
Construction Products Directive, these requirements need also to be complied with, when and where they apply.
NOTE 2
An informative database of European and national provisions on dangerous substances is

available at the Construction web site on EUROPA (accessed through />construction/internal/dangsub/dangmain.htm).
This annex establishes the conditions for the CE marking of the floor coverings intended for the uses indicated
in Table ZA.1 and shows the relevant clauses applicable.
