Activities
Main EU Legislative Proposals: Besides the representation of the resilient industry ERFMI and their active members play a decisive role in CEN TC 134 floor coverings (= Resilients, Carpets, Laminates) and in ISO 219 floor coverings.
Directly or indirectly liaisons are maintained with other TC’s such as TC 339 “Slip”, TC 350 “Sustainability of construction works”, TC 351 “Construction Products: Assessment of release of Dangerous Substances” and TC 126 “Acoustic properties of building products and of buildings”.
Communication Activities: The finalisation of the revision of the harmonised standard for floor coverings (EN14041) for CE marking with inclusion of new requirements for dangerous substances and VOC emissions.
ERFMI itself will in 20"$ finished a 4th LCA/EPD study. The ten EPD’s are published via IBU (German Institute for Construction and Environment), via DGNB (German Society for Sustainable Construction) and with a special calculation on the ERFMI website.
Earlier ERFMI has started the FCSS (Floor Covering Standard Symbols) program together with ECRA and EPLF. A program which is constantly adapted to new developments.
