DBI advises The CE marking of floor coverings always requires a sampling report which documents how the tested products were taken from the production process. For some classes of fire, the samples have to be taken by an impartial third party.
Therefore, it is a good idea to contact DBI before a sample is taken so that all the requirements for sampling are complied with. span>
