18、ce, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.Page 4 EN 259-1:2001 BSI 06-2001 Introduction A heavy duty wallcovering is a wallcovering intended for use in areas of heavy traffic or in commercial premises. There are many typ

19、es of wallcovering and many processes used in their manufacture. To ensure satisfactory performance, it is important that decorators follow the manufacturers recommended hanging instructions for each particular product. Various degrees of colour fastness to light of heavy duty wallcoverings are reco

20、gnized. Symbols to illustrate theses grades are given in prEN 235:1998, as well as symbols to indicate washability, impact resistance, pattern matching, means of application and methods of subsequent removal. This will facilitate the selection by the user of wallcoverings appropriate to his particul

21、ar needs and guide the decorator. 1 Scope This European Standard: - specifies requirements for dimensions, washability, impact resistance and grades of colour fastness to light, and for the maximum migration of heavy metals and certain other elements, the vinyl chloride monomer content and formaldeh

22、yde release; - establishes the method of marking; - gives a designation system. The marking requirements of this standard are primarily for the information of the consumer to enable optimum use of the product. This standard applies to heavy duty wallcoverings supplied in rolls for hanging on walls a

23、nd ceilings by means of an adhesive covering the whole of the interface between the wallcovering and the support and that are not intended to be decorated after hanging. Excluded from this standard are rigid materials, materials not attached or not wholly attached by adhesive, wallcoverings for subs

24、equent decoration, textile wallcoverings and non-decorative wallcoverings such as wall linings or those with special properties, e.g. thermal or acoustic insulation. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These no

29、 definitions given in prEN 235:1998 apply. 4 Specifications 4.1 Dimensions 4.1.1 Methods of measuring dimensions The length, width and area of the roll shall be determined in accordance with EN 12956. 4.1.2 Requirements The area of the roll is not standardized but shall be declared see 5.1 e), the p

30、ermitted deviation from the declared values shall not be more than 3 %. The nominal width, or the useable width for untrimmed wallcoverings, and the nominal length, shall be declared; the permitted deviation from the declared values shall not be more than 1,5 %. 4.2 Washability 4.2.1 Method of deter

31、mining washability The washability shall be determined in accordance with the general provisions of the clause on scrubbability in EN 12956 except that the number of cycles is increased to 300. 4.2.2 Requirements For a wallcovering to comply with this standard, its grade of washability shall be: ext

32、ra-scrubbable. Accordingly, the wallcovering shall not exhibit any visible damage or change in comparison with the reference test piece after 300 cycles. The symbol to be used to indicate this grade of washability is given in prEN 235:1998.Page 6 EN 259-1:2001 BSI 06-2001 4.3 Colour fastness to ligh

33、t 4.3.1 Method of determining fastness to light The numerical rating for colour fastness to light shall be determined in accordance with EN ISO 105-B02 at a relative humidity of 60 % to 70 % and a maximum black panel temperature of 45 C. 4.3.2 Requirements Two grades of colour fastness to light of w

34、allcoverings to this standard are accepted. Very good: numerical rating not less than 6. Excellent: numerical rating not less than 7. The symbols to be used to indicate the grade of colour fastness to light are given in prEN 235:1998. 4.4 Impact resistance 4.4.1 Method of determining impact resistan

35、ce The method of determining impact resistance is described in EN 259-2. 4.4.2 Requirements A wallcovering complying with this standard shall be declared “impact resistant” under the conditions specified in EN 259-2. The symbol to be used to indicate the impact resistance is given in prEN 235:1998.

36、4.5 Maximum migration of heavy metals and certain other elements 4.5.1 Method of test The method of test is method A of EN 12149. 4.5.2 Requirements The migration of heavy metals and specific elements, expressed as mg/kg of wallcovering, shall not exceed the values in Table 1. 4.5.3 Interpretation o

37、f results The analytical results obtained shall be corrected by subtracting the value of the analytical correction factors given in Table 2 in order to obtain a corrected analytical result. Wallcoverings are considered to meet the requirements of this European Standard if the corrected analytical re

38、sult does not exceed the limits indicated in Table 1. NOTE 1 Given the precision of the methods specified in this European Standard, it is necessary to use the corrected analytical results to take into account the results of interlaboratory tests (see annex D of EN 71-3:1994 1). EXAMPLE analytical r

39、esult for lead: 120 mg/kg. Corresponding analytical correction in Table 2: 30 %. Corrected analytical result = 120 - (120 30) / 100 = 120 - 36 = 84 mg/kg. This is regarded as satisfying the requirements of the standard (lead: 90 mg/kg).Page 7 EN 259-1:2001 BSI 06-2001 NOTE 2 The measuring methods us

40、ed in EN 12149 are derived directly from EN 71-3 on the safety of toys. Annex D of EN 71-3:1994, in particular D.4 “Statistical uncertainty of the test procedure and interpretation of results”, justifies the introduction of a correction factor. It will be worthwhile to refer to it. Table 1 Maximum m
