The European fire regulations on wooden flooring are described in norm EN-13501-1 (the Euroclasses). The norm provides a table with fire-resistance classes for wooden flooring which one can apply without having to do specific lab-tests.
According to the norm, solid oak flooring and engineered oak floorboards with a top layer of 5 mm or thicker, can be classified as class Cfl-s1. All other oak flooring with a top layer thinner than 5 mm is classified Dfl-s1.
