ᐅ New Construction – What Slope/Pitch Must Be Accepted?

Good morning everyone,

Can someone tell me where I can find information about the acceptable slope for a floor (in our case, vinyl) in living and sleeping areas?
I am not asking about localized dips – our floor doesn’t have any depressions – but rather how “uneven” or out of level the floor can be in general.
The spirit level lies flat on the floor, but to get it perfectly level, I would have to lift one end of an 80cm (31.5 inches) level by 8-9mm (0.3-0.35 inches).
There must be a standard, probably a DIN norm, that sets the limits here, which may be exceeded.

Thanks in advance.

Also at 15m (49 feet), but your room won’t be that large, right?
If you lay a batten level across the entire room, the deviation should not exceed 1 cm (0.4 inches).
No, of course not – where exactly can I find this information so I can present it to our builder?

Which section would be relevant here? I’m having some trouble with the technical terms.

Table of flatness tolerances according to DIN 18202 (extended table) with limit values.


Could you please be so kind as to explain how this leads to the statement of 1cm (0.4 inches)?

Line 3 refers to finished floors, where a limit of 1 cm (0.4 inches) is specified for 4 m (13 feet). For your example with 0.8 m (2.6 feet), the limit would be 3–4 mm (0.1–0.2 inches).
