The marking requirements of this standard are primarily for the consumer's information to enable optimum selection of the product. This standard applies to finished wall vinyls, plastic wallcoverings and finished wallpapers not intended for subsequent decoration supplied in rolls for hanging on ceilings and walls by means of an adhesive covering the whole of the interface between the wallcovering and the support (ceiling or wall). Excluded from this standard are rigid materials, materials not attached or not wholly attached by adhesive, wallcoverings for subsequent decoration, non-decorative and textile wallcoverings such as wall linings and those with special properties, e.g. acoustic or thermal insulation.
