This Technical Specification specifies test methods for loading a continuously fully supported non-structural 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 deflection limits for the different load categories, are given in EN 13810-1.
