Introduction
A textile wallcovering is a wallcovering, the front face of which consists of natural or synthetic fibrous or
filament materials such as yarns, woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, threads, ropes, braids, felts, etc., which
can be attached to a base web. A textile wallcovering is expected to have adequate strength such that it
can be hung satisfactorily in accordance with the instructions given by the supplier and using the
recommended adhesive.
There are many types of wallcovering and varied processes used in their manufacture. To ensure
satisfactory performance, it is important that installers follow the manufacturer's recommended hanging
instructions for each particular product.
Various grades of colour fastness to light of textile wallcoverings are permitted and symbols to indicate
these grades are given in this document, as well as symbols to indicate pattern matching, means of
application and methods of subsequent removal from the support. This will facilitate the selection by the
consumer of an appropriate wallcoverings. Other European standards on the vocabulary and symbols
used in the wallcovering industry, for finished wallpapers, wall vinyls and plastics wallcoverings, for
wallcoverings for subsequent decoration and for heavy duty wallcoverings are also published.
