What is BS EN 12103 - Resilient floor coverings - Agglomerated cork underlays about?
BS EN 12103 is a European standard that gives specification for agglomerated cork underlay under resilient floor coverings. BS EN 12103 specifies the requirements for cork underlays made from agglomerated cork designed to be used in conjunction with any type of resilient floor covering.BS EN 12103 also specifies requirements for marking and labelling.
Note: The performance of the cork underlays is dependent on the cork underlays themselves, the type of floor covering used and the installation of both; the performance of the ªcomplexº (floor covering plus underlay) is not covered by BS EN 12103. The use of cork underlays should follow the instructions of the manufacturer.
Who is BS EN 12103 - Resilient floor coverings - Agglomerated cork underlays for?
BS EN 12103 on resilient floor coverings - agglomerated cork underlays is useful for:
- Manufacturers of resilient floor coverings
- Installers of floor coverings
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 12103 - Resilient floor coverings - Agglomerated cork underlays?
Resilient floors are polymer floors engineered for comfort, flexibility and design. BS EN 12103 specifies the requirements for cork underlays made from agglomerated cork designed to be used in conjunction with any type of resilient floor covering to improve their acoustical performance and/or to provide a base for any rigid floor coverings.
BS EN 12103 specifies test methods for the determination of the technical characteristics of agglomerated cork underlay under resilient floor coverings for the manufacturer to follow during designing and production of laminate floor coverings to comply with the standard requirements. BS EN 12103 provides specifications, requirements that can help the consumer to make an informed choice.
As a user of BS EN 12103, you can be ensured of the requirements for marking and labelling resilient floor covering. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 12103, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality resilient floor coverings. BS EN 12103 helps you to build consumer trust and confidence in the product. With BS EN 12103 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
