Foreword

Products have unique characteristics and each installation project should be carefully

evaluated to determine proper application of this standard. In circumstances not

addressed in this document, contact the product manufacturer for specific guidance. The

CRI requires that the services of professionally trained and qualified floor covering

installers be obtained for all Residential carpet installations.

This minimum standard requirement for installation of carpet is based upon reliable

principles and procedures developed through practical experience, research, and

information obtained from manufacturers, retailers, installers, end users, testing

laboratories, and others who have specialized expertise. For more detailed information,

instructions and training, please contact the specific manufacturer.

Failure to follow this minimum standard may result in an installation related failure;

however it cannot be the basis for rejecting a claim relating to a manufacturing defect.
