Tarkett
flammability statement.

Tarkett is adding a fire retardant in the latex precoat layer of their carpet products, which is just below the use surface layer of the carpet (carpet pile fibres).

The type of fire retardant used guarantees a permanent working, during the lifetime of the carpet product. This is conforming the requirements of the European regulation for building products (CPR).

Tarkett carpet tile products meet the European requirements regarding essential characteristics, as fire behavior is, which is expressed by the CE-mark. The fire classification is determined according to the European norm EN 13501-1, prescribed for flooring products.

Tarkett is not using halogenic fire retardants or any other hazardous substance.

Tarkett is also not using a topical treatment on the use surface layer, as this does not guarantee the permanent working of the fire retardant when performing a wet cleaning process on the carpet (e.g. spray-extraction).
