Quality Floors Conform to All CE Standards
|
The European Union strives to ensure that products sold within Europe meet a number of strict requirements regarding safety, health, environment and consumer protection. These demands it describes in a number of standards, known as the CE standards. The standard relating to wooden flooring is CE norm EN 14342.
|
This standard requires that floors are tested and comply with the conditions imposed on reaction to fire, formaldehyde emission, VOC emission, the presence of PCP and biological durability. Furthermore, a manufacturer can also perform tests to monitor the thermal conductivity, the slipperiness and the flexural strength of its floors. That, Lalegno did for several floors.
A detailed performance certificate (DOP) is available and is part of the data sheet, which has been included on our website for each of our floors.
All Lalegno floors fully comply with CE standards.
