Full title and description

ISO 10582:2017 — Resilient floor coverings — Heterogeneous poly(vinyl chloride) floor covering — Specifications. This International Standard defines constructional, dimensional, performance, identification, marking and packaging requirements for non‑cushioned heterogeneous PVC floor coverings supplied as tiles, planks or rolls, and permits a transparent non‑PVC factory finish.

Abstract

ISO 10582:2017 specifies the characteristics of non‑cushioned, heterogeneous floor coverings made from poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) in tile, plank or roll form. The document includes a consumer/use classification system (linked to ISO 10874), sets minimum construction and performance requirements (including wear‑layer and binder content identification), and prescribes marking and labelling to help purchasers and specifiers make informed choices.

Scope

This standard applies to non‑cushioned, heterogeneous PVC floor coverings (wear layer plus supporting layers) supplied in tile, plank or roll form. It covers identification (including binder content classification), dimensional and thickness requirements, mechanical and appearance performance limits, dimensional stability, resistance to deformation, and marking/packaging requirements. The standard is linked to the ISO 10874 classification system for intended areas and intensity of use.

Key topics and requirements

• Product definition and scope (heterogeneous PVC floor coverings, optional transparent non‑PVC factory finish).
• Identification by wear‑layer binder content: two identification types are used (commonly cited as Type I and Type II, with minimum binder content thresholds reported in the standard—for example, Type I ≈ 80 % binder in the wear layer and Type II ≈ 30 % binder, by mass of the wear layer, as manufacturer‑declared identification).
• Dimensional and thickness requirements (overall thickness and wear‑layer thickness; measurement methods and tolerances referencing ISO test methods such as ISO 24346 and ISO 24340).
• Mechanical performance and durability: limits on residual indentation, requirements for castor‑chair testing for certain use classes, seam/locking strength and resistance to delamination.
• Dimensional stability, curling and heat‑related behaviour (requirements and limits for installation modes).
• Appearance and colourfastness requirements (light exposure and other appearance tests referenced).
• Marking, labelling and packaging requirements to communicate product classification, composition, and installation guidance to users.

Typical use and users

ISO 10582:2017 is used by PVC floor covering manufacturers, quality and R&D laboratories, product specifiers, architects, building contractors, flooring installers, procurement teams and regulators. It is commonly referenced when specifying heterogeneous PVC tiles, planks or sheet flooring for commercial, institutional and residential projects where defined wear‑layer performance and consumer/classification information are required.

Related standards

Standards commonly referenced with ISO 10582:2017 include ISO 10874 (classification of floor coverings by use/intensity), ISO 24346 and ISO 24340 (thickness and layer thickness measurement methods), ISO 19322 (specifications for thermoplastic polymer floor coverings), and related ISO/EN documents and national adoptions (e.g., EN ISO 10582:2018). The 2017 edition of ISO 10582 replaces the earlier 2010 edition.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10582:2017 is an International Standard that defines specifications for non‑cushioned heterogeneous poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) floor coverings supplied as tiles, planks or rolls, including constructional, dimensional, performance and marking requirements.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers product definition, identification (including binder content classification), thickness and wear‑layer tolerances, mechanical and appearance performance limits, dimensional stability, test references and mandatory marking/packaging information to support correct selection and installation. Test and measurement methods referenced include other ISO standards such as ISO 24346 and ISO 24340; classification guidance is linked to ISO 10874.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, test laboratories, architects and specifiers, flooring installers and buyers use this standard to ensure products meet agreed construction and performance criteria and to select the correct product for the intended area of use.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10582:2017 is the current edition published in November 2017 (edition 2). It superseded ISO 10582:2010. National and regional adoptions exist (for example EN ISO 10582:2018). Standards are subject to periodic review by ISO.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: ISO 10582 is one of several ISO documents addressing resilient floor coverings. Related ISO standards cover homogeneous PVC coverings (ISO 10581), general thermoplastic polymer flooring specifications (ISO 19322), thickness and test methods (ISO 24346, ISO 24340), and the classification system ISO 10874. These documents are often used together when specifying or testing floor coverings.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Heterogeneous PVC, wear layer, binder content, resilient flooring, tiles, planks, rolls, dimensional stability, classification, marking.
