This European Standard specifies test methods for loading a floating floor with static concentrated point loads, alternating loads and dynamic impact loads for determining the values of the resulting deflections. NOTE: These test methods form part of the basis for classification of floating floor constructions. The requirements, i.e. load values, number of load cycles, and deformation limits for the different load categories, are given in prEN (WI 00 112 134).
