EN 16511-2014 pdf download.Loose-laid panels – Semi-rigid multilayer modular floor covering (MM F) panels with wear resistant top layer.
This EN 16511 specifies the characteristics of semi-rigid multilayer modular floor covering with a wear-resistant and decorative surface layer supplied in panels (either tile or plank form). The floor panels are considered suitable for domestic and commercial levels of use and designed for floating installation.
This European Standard does not apply to resilient floor panels for loose-laying according to EN 14085, to
multilayer wood floorings according to EN 13489, nor to products specified in EN ISO 10581, EN ISO 10582,
EN ISO 24011, EN 12104 and ISO 14486.
This European Standard applies to areas which are subject to frequent wetting, e.g. bathrooms, laundry rooms or saunas, only if recommended by the producer.
This European Standard also includes requirements for marking and packaging.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
floor panel
semi-rigid decorative floor covering in plank or tile form, with a multiple layer structure and worked edges that allow joining products together to form a larger integral unit
Note I to entry The multi-layer structure consists of a wear-resistant top layer, a decorative surface layer, a substrate and usually a backer.
3.2
substrate
core layer providing thickness, stability and other properties needed
3.3
top layer
layer providing wear resistance and protection
3.4
surface layer
layer providing visual and esthetical properties, intended to be the visible side when the floor is installed
35
backer
layer opposite to the surface layer
3.6
modular
elements supplied in single sheets or tiles with worked edges that allow the product to be joint together to form
a layer integral unit
3.7
semi-rigid
element consisting of materials or layers for the core which allow the floor panel to have worked edges with surface andlor top layers giving resiliency to a surface
3.8
underlayment
material used between the floor covering and the subfloor
4 Requirements
4.1 General requirements for the panels
All classes of the MMF panels shall meet the requirements specified in Table 1 when tested in accordance with ISO 24337.
5 Marking and packaging
5.1 Marking
Floor panels manufactured and conforming to this European Standard shall be clearly marked by the
manufacturer on a label on or in the package giving the following information:
a) reference of this document, i.e. EN 16511:2014;
b) manufacturer’s or supplier’s identification.
C) product name;
d) class I symbol of level of use according to EN ISO 10874:
e) procedure of wear resistance test (A or B):
f) year of manufacture (last two digits);
g) colour I pattern and identification number;
h) successive number of the package if necessary for the installation;
i) nominal dimensions of the panel:
j) number of panels contained in the package;
k) covered floor area after installation per package;
I) the warning that packages shall be stored shielded from direct sunlight and humidity.
5.2 Packaging
Floor panels shall be delivered in packages designed to protect the corners, edges and surfaces of the product, under normal conditions of transport and handling. Installation, cleaning and maintenance instructions shall be delivered together with the product.EN 16511-2014 pdf download.
