scope:

This European Standard: - specifies requirements for dimensions and marking; - gives the symbols to be used for marking purposes, for matching, methods of application and removal. The marking requirements of this standard are primarily for information of the consumer and to enable optimum use to be made of the product. This standard applies to wallcoverings for subsequent decoration supplied in rolls and for hanging onto walls and ceilings by means of an adhesive covering the whole of the interface between the wallcovering and the support. Excluded from this standard are rigid materials, materials not attached or not wholly attached by adhesive, finished wallpapers, wall vinyls, plastics wallcoverings, textile wallcoverings, heavy duty wallcoverings and non-decorative wallcoverings such as wall linings or those with special properties, e.g. thermal or acoustic insulation.
