Describes requirements for dimensions, washability, resistance to impact and grades of colour fastness to light. Gives the symbols, to be used for marking purposes, for these characteristics and also for matching, methods of application and removal. Applies to heavy duty wallcoverings supplied in rolls for hanging on to walls and ceilings by means of an adhesive covering the whole of the interface between the wallcovering and the support. 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.
