Construction, test evidence & order details—on one reference page. An SPC flooring spec sheet should identify the exact rigid core vinyl product, separate overall thickness from core and pad thickness, state the wear layer and dimensions, and connect performance claims to supporting documents.
Use this technical reference to prepare comparable quotations for import, wholesale, private-label and commercial projects. 3C-Floor offers SPC construction, décor, surface, backing and packaging options. The tables below explain published configuration choices and the fields buyers should confirm; final values, tolerances and reports must match the selected SKU. Request a product-specific technical data sheet and coded sample before approving bulk supply.
Compare the finished plank profile, surface and joint—not only the headline thickness.

Direct answer
What should an SPC flooring spec sheet include?
A complete SPC flooring technical data sheet includes product identity and revision, overall and core thickness, wear layer, effective plank dimensions, surface, edge, backing, locking profile, product-specific test evidence, installation conditions and packing data. Separate nominal values, measured results and acceptance limits. A brochure describes a collection; a final spec sheet must describe the exact construction being ordered.

Attached backing
IXPE / EVA / cork options; confirm an unbacked construction if required.
Record material, thickness, density and bond quality. Backing must match relevant reports.
Locking & installation
Click-lock floating installation; selected locking profile by product confirmation.
Confirm profile identity, installation method, compatibility and licensing documents where specified.
Dimensional / load performance
Request test method, standard edition, result, unit and acceptance criterion.
Match dimensional stability, curl, indentation and relevant load checks to the quoted construction.
Fire / slip / indoor air
Destination-market and project requirements to be stated in the RFQ.
Request current, applicable documents. A generic claim is not a SKU-level result.
Acoustic performance
Confirm the metric, tested plank and pad, floor assembly and supporting report.
Compare results using equivalent methods and assemblies. Avoid assuming a building-level rating from pad thickness.
Installation limits
Subfloor flatness and moisture, expansion spacing, temperature, maximum layout and heating compatibility.
Obtain product-specific instructions; no universal tolerance or temperature limit is declared here.
Packing & mass
Pieces/carton, m²/carton, net/gross weight, cartons/pallet and pallet dimensions.

Measurement clarity
Four Thickness Values. Four Different Meanings.
A quotation marked “6 mm SPC” is incomplete until the supplier states which layers are included.
OVERALL
Finished thickness
The installed plank build, including attached backing when present. This controls transition and door-clearance planning.
BODY
Plank without pad
The wear layer, decorative layers and rigid body together. Body thickness is not the same as core thickness.
CORE
Rigid SPC layer
The mineral-filled polymer layer supporting the milled joint. Confirm its value separately if it is part of the order specification.
WEAR LAYER
Clear protective layer
The transparent layer above the décor. It is included in the plank body; it is not added again to a stated body thickness.
Make the thickness basis explicit
5.0 mm body + 1.0 mm pad = 6.0 mm overall
Arithmetic illustration only, not a declared 3C-Floor SKU. The 5.0 mm body already includes its surface layers; its core is therefore not automatically 5.0 mm.
For comparisons between constructions, use the SPC thickness and layer selection guide. More thickness does not establish wear performance or correct an uneven subfloor.
Wear layer: mm to mil conversion
One mil is one-thousandth of an inch: 1 mil = 0.0254 mm. Rounded market labels should not replace the controlling value and agreed tolerance.

What the buyer should verify
Rigid core product specification
ASTM F3261 covers resilient flooring with a rigid polymeric core. The active ASTM listing checked for this page is F3261-26.
Specify the edition required by the contract. An older report is not automatically evidence of compliance with a newer edition.
Wear-layer measurement
ISO 24340 describes measurement of layer thickness in resilient floor coverings.
Identify which layer was measured, the test method and the accepted nominal / measured limits.
Dimensional stability & curl
ISO 23999 addresses dimensional stability and curling after heat exposure.
Request result and units, specimen construction and exposure conditions; separate length change from vertical deformation.
Confirm the exact assembly and whether the result is IIC, ΔIIC or another metric. Do not compare unlike metrics or transfer results between different assemblies.
Indoor-air claims
Request the applicable emissions report or product certification, including its scope and validity.
If FloorScore is required, check the current product listing or certificate. A factory management certificate does not prove flooring emissions performance.
Fire, slip & loads
Request the destination-market method, project requirement and exact tested construction.
Check mounting, backing, substrate, wet/dry conditions or load conditions where relevant. No fire class, slip rating or load result is declared on this reference page.
IDENTITY
Match the construction
A report for another pad, thickness or product family needs a documented explanation of applicability to the quoted SKU.
TRACEABILITY
Retain the full report
Keep report number, laboratory, issue date, specimen description, results and conditions. A cropped logo or “pass” badge is insufficient.
ACCEPTANCE
Write the approval rule
Document the project limit, units and required method before testing or ordering. Avoid accepting a value whose test conditions are unknown.
A physical sample should confirm the written construction, color, texture and assembled fit. Photographs help shortlist products; dimensions and performance require measurement or testing.
Record the assembled fitCheck long and short edges, joint appearance, damaged profiles and backing adhesion with full planks.Approve the visual referenceRecord embossing, gloss, décor variation and edge color under the lighting expected in the project.
Confirm the profile and installation method through the click-lock SPC flooring specification guide. Thickness and a locking-system name alone do not establish joint quality.
Application reference from 3C-Floor. Select the exact construction and installation system for the intended room.
Use conditions
Specify the Room, Then Confirm the Product
Homes & rental apartments
Record foot traffic, cleaning, furniture movement, moisture conditions and transition height. A 0.3 mm wear layer is a common residential planning direction; higher demands may justify 0.5 mm, subject to the exact product.
Hotels, offices & retail
Review repeated traffic, luggage, rolling chairs, entrance grit and cleaning chemistry. A 0.5 or 0.7 mm wear-layer direction may be considered, but commercial suitability also needs joint, load, installation and project-document checks.
Acoustic or moisture-sensitive interiors
Request assembly-specific sound evidence and the installation moisture strategy. An attached pad does not level the substrate or replace required vapor control. Continuously wet rooms, outdoor exposure and unconditioned spaces require a separately approved system.
Assign a product and sample referenceLink the décor, construction, surface and edge approval to one reference used across the quotation, data sheet and purchase order.
Agree tolerances and inspectionSeparate nominal dimensions, minimum values, measured results and allowable variation. Confirm the inspection plan, sampling and acceptance process.
Reconcile packing and quantitiesVerify effective dimensions, pieces/carton, m²/carton, weights and pallet quantities. Use the final packing list for shipment planning.
Control revisions and substitutionsRequire approval for changes to wear layer, core, pad, click profile, décor or packaging. Assess whether a change affects the applicability of reports.
Carton coverage: effective length (mm) × effective width (mm) × pieces per carton ÷ 1,000,000 = m² per carton. Exclude locking projections if they are outside the installed coverage.

Buyer questions
SPC Spec Sheet FAQ
Direct answers about technical data, units, product evidence and quotation preparation.
What is an SPC flooring spec sheet?
An SPC flooring spec sheet is a technical record of a specific rigid core vinyl plank or tile. It identifies the product, construction, dimensions, wear layer, backing, locking system, performance evidence, installation limits and packaging. A range-level reference helps prepare an RFQ; an approved SKU-specific sheet is needed for product acceptance.
Does SPC flooring thickness include the attached pad?
The thickness basis must be stated explicitly. Overall thickness may include the attached pad, while some quotations describe the plank body before backing. Record overall thickness, body thickness and pad thickness separately. Rigid core thickness is a further measurement because the body also contains the wear layer and decorative layers.
Is a 0.5 mm wear layer the same as 20 mil?
They are close, but not exactly equal. One mil is 0.0254 mm, so 20 mil equals 0.508 mm and 0.5 mm equals about 19.69 mil. Commercial descriptions often round the conversion. Specify the controlling unit, nominal thickness and agreed acceptance tolerance in the order.
Which SPC flooring specifications matter for commercial projects?
Commercial approval depends on the complete product and installation system. Review wear layer, joint performance, dimensional stability, rolling-load suitability, surface cleanability, fire and slip requirements, indoor-air documentation and installation limits. A thickness or wear-layer number alone does not establish a commercial use class or project approval.
Does waterproof SPC flooring remove the need for moisture control?
No. A water-resistant SPC plank does not waterproof the subfloor or room. Moisture can still affect the substrate, perimeter, adjoining materials and conditions beneath the flooring. Follow the product-specific installation instructions for substrate moisture assessment, vapor control, wet-area detailing and expansion spacing.
Can acoustic results be compared across different SPC products?
Only when the metric, test method and floor assembly are comparable. Identify the exact plank and pad, slab or substrate, ceiling arrangement and test conditions. IIC, delta IIC and impact sound reduction in decibels describe different measurements; a single headline number cannot be transferred automatically to another building.
Can 3C-Floor provide a custom or private-label SPC specification?
3C-Floor offers SPC specification and private-label options covering construction, wear layer, dimensions, surface, backing, locking profile and packaging. Send the intended application, market and product requirements so the available combination, sample, documentation and commercial terms can be confirmed before production.
What should I send to request an SPC flooring technical data sheet?
Send the product or sample reference, destination market, application, quantity, thickness basis, wear layer, plank size, surface, backing and locking requirements. Include the required test methods or project criteria, packaging, destination port and delivery window. Request the final data sheet and supporting reports for the exact quoted construction.
