Full title and description

Resilient floor coverings — Specification for floor coverings based on thermoplastic polymers. This International Standard specifies the characteristics and minimum requirements for resilient floor coverings made from thermoplastic polymers supplied in roll, plank or tile form, and includes requirements for classification, marking and essential performance characteristics to support consistent manufacture and selection of products for intended use.

Abstract

ISO 19322:2018 defines specification criteria for thermoplastic polymer-based resilient floor coverings, covering dimensional and physical characteristics, wear-layer declaration, mass per unit area, dimensional stability, and marking. It provides a classification system (with reference to ISO 10874) to help specify products by intensity of use and indicates excluded product families covered by other ISO standards.

Scope

ISO 19322:2018 applies to resilient floor coverings composed of thermoplastic polymers in roll, plank or tile forms and specifies the essential characteristics and marking required to assure suitability for use. It excludes certain product types that are covered by other standards (for example ISO 10581, ISO 10582, ISO 10595, ISO 11638, ISO 10575, ISO 10577, ISO 24011 and ISO 26986). The standard is intended to support consistent specification, testing and declaration of product attributes relevant to performance and application.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of product forms: roll, plank and tile formats for thermoplastic polymer floor coverings.
• Dimensional requirements and tolerances (length, width, squareness, straightness) and referenced test methods.
• Thickness and wear-layer declaration requirements and tolerances.
• Mass per unit area and dimensional stability (including heat exposure criteria).
• Classification framework for intensity of use (reference to ISO 10874) to guide appropriate application.
• Marking and documentation requirements to ensure traceability and informed choice by users.

The standard references specific ISO test methods and related product standards for detailed measurement procedures and limits.

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers, product designers, quality control and testing laboratories, specifiers, architects, building contractors and procurement professionals to specify, manufacture, test and select thermoplastic resilient floor coverings for commercial, institutional and domestic applications. It is also used by standards bodies and conformity assessment organizations as a basis for product requirements and declarations.

Related standards

Closely related standards and references include ISO 10874 (classification of floor coverings by use), and various ISO test-method and product standards such as ISO 24341, ISO 24342, ISO 24346, ISO 24340, ISO 23997 and ISO 23999. The standard explicitly excludes certain product families covered by ISO 10581, ISO 10582, ISO 10595, ISO 11638, ISO 10575, ISO 10577, ISO 24011 and ISO 26986.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 19322:2018 is an International Standard that specifies the characteristics and requirements for resilient floor coverings based on thermoplastic polymers, including dimensional, physical and marking requirements to support appropriate use and selection.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers products in roll, plank and tile form made from thermoplastic polymers, specifying minimum requirements for dimensions, thickness and wear-layer declaration, mass per unit area, dimensional stability, classification by intensity of use, and marking. It also references the relevant ISO test methods used to verify those requirements.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, testing laboratories, specifiers, architects, contractors, procurement teams, and conformity assessment bodies use the standard when producing, testing, specifying or verifying thermoplastic resilient floor coverings.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 19322 was published in March 2018 as the first edition (2018) and is listed as a published International Standard in the ISO catalogue; it is subject to ISO’s periodic review cycle and is recorded as confirmed in the ISO catalogue lifecycle information. Users should check the ISO catalogue for the most recent confirmation or revision status before final specification.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the family of ISO standards addressing floor coverings and their test methods and classifications (for example ISO 10874 for use classification and several ISO test-method standards). It is complementary to other product-specific standards that cover different resilient flooring constructions, which the standard explicitly excludes.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Resilient floor coverings, thermoplastic, wear layer, dimensional tolerances, mass per unit area, dimensional stability, marking, ISO 19322.
