To determinewhether there is an appreciable difference, suspend threesequential 8-ft (2.4-m) strips at eye level in a vertical position,as on the wall, under illumination betw
12、een 100 to 150 fc (1000to 1500 lx), and view the strips from a distance between 4 and8 ft (1.2 and 2.4 m). An appreciable difference is one which isnoticeable when one strip is compared with the others.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F15 onConsumer Products and is the

16、ccessible to the installer. It shall be the manufac-turers responsibility to notify consumers of proper installationtechniques when new products are introduced.5.3 The manufacturer shall recommend an adhesive, whennecessary, and the products to be used for wall preparation.Recommendation for alterna
17、tive adhesives and wall prepara-tion products shall be included in the installation instructions.6. Physical Requirements6.1 Each finished product shall be uniform in physicalproperties, in accordance with Classification F 793 and thisspecification.6.2 All facings and protective layers shall be adhe
18、redproperly to backings and intermediate layers and the finishedproduct shall be of such quality that delamination does notoccur during normal installation and use.6.3 Finished products shall not chip, peel, or flake duringnormal installation and use. (For test methods to determineconformity with th
19、is requirement refer to Classification F 793.)6.4 There shall be no more than a18-in. (3.5-mm) variancein pattern match between two 8-ft (2.4-m) strips at midpoint.6.5 Wallcovering shall be free from all surface flaws,creases, splices, scratches, tears and dirt throughout its entirelength.6.6 Wallco
20、vering shall be free of wrinkles which cannot beremoved in the course of normal installation.6.7 Finished product shall not shrink or expand after instal-lation when installed in accordance with the manufacturersinstructions.6.8 Pretrimmed material shall be trimmed so that no con-trasting backing co
21、lor will show at the seam when two sheetsare properly installed.6.9 Pretrimmed material shall show no frayed or wavyedges.6.10 All elements of the pattern shall be in register.6.11 The design shall be set at an angle of 90 to thetrimmed edge.6.12 Split bolts narrow goods shall have no piece shortert
