Are there any environmental certifications for floor coverings?

Yes, there are several environmental certifications for floor coverings:

Sustainability certifications

  • A certification based on the NSF/ANSI 332 standard evaluates resilient floor coverings according to environmental, health and social impact criteria.
  • An environmental label certifies that the covering is made from highly renewable or recycled materials.

Sustainable management certifications

  • A certification guarantees responsible forest management for wood coverings.
  • A global forest certification programme is also available.

Standards and labels

  • A compulsory marking since 2007 for all floor coverings in Europe.
  • A classification certifies the suitability for a specific use and the performance of the covering.
  • An international standard establishes a classification system for resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings.

These certifications help manufacturers to stand out, contribute to credits for green building programmes, and assure consumers that the products meet high standards of durability and health.
