What certifications should gym flooring have in Europe?
Choosing gym flooring without proper certification can lead to safety violations, failed inspections, and customer complaints. Many buyers don’t realize this until it’s too late.
In Europe, gym flooring should have CE marking, EN 1177 certification, and comply with REACH and fire safety standards to meet legal and safety requirements.
If you are building or supplying a gym in Europe, certifications are not optional—they are the entry ticket. Let’s look at which ones matter, what they mean, and how to ensure your flooring is compliant.
Why is CE certification required for rubber gym floors?
CE marking proves that a product complies with EU laws on safety, health, and environmental protection.
- All construction-related products—including rubber flooring—must meet CE standards before entering the EU market.
- It covers mechanical durability, fire resistance, and chemical safety.
- Without CE, your gym flooring may be banned from public or commercial use.
At Lanhefloor, every tile and roll product we ship to Europe is CE certified, helping our clients avoid regulatory issues.
What is EN 1177 and why is it important?
EN 1177 is the European standard that measures the impact absorption of safety surfacing.
- Ensures that the flooring reduces injury from falls
- Widely accepted in high-impact areas like weightlifting zones
- Often required by gyms, schools, and fitness centers across the EU
All Tiny Granule Rubber Tiles and Composite Gym Rubber Tiles meet this standard and include supporting test reports.
What about REACH compliance—why does it matter?
REACH ensures that flooring products do not contain banned or harmful substances.
- Improves indoor air quality
- Protects users with frequent skin contact
- Mandatory for EU market access
Our rubber gym tiles use clean, controlled SBR and EPDM granules with documentation available for import checks.
Do gym floors need to be fire-rated?
According to EN 13501-1, flooring materials must meet fire resistance standards.
- Gyms often require Bfl-s1 or Cfl-s1 fire rating
- Fire-rated floors help delay fire and reduce smoke
- Some EU countries won’t approve flooring without it
Our rubber rolls and tiles include fire safety test reports for submission.
