To encourage the consumer to make an informed choice the standard includes a classification system (see EN 685) based on intensity of use, which shows where these floor coverings should give satisfactory service. It also specifies requirements for marking. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.

NOTE. The tests are intended to determine the wear resistance of wear layers defined either by thickness loss (prEN 660-1) or volume loss (prEN 660-2). Floor coverings described in this standard shall be classified in wear group T or P. Floor coverings with a transparent wear layer are a priori group T and need not be tested.
