Gives the symbols, to be used for marking purposes, for these characteristics and also for matching, methods of application and removal.

Not intended to be decorated after hanging. Excluded are rigid materials, materials not attached or not wholly attached by adhesive, wallcoverings for subsequent decoration, and non-decorative wallcoverings such as wall linings or those with special properties.
