1 Scope This European Standard applies to all forms of wallcovering products in roll and panel form as defined in
EN 235 supplied for hanging onto internal walls, partitions or ceilings, by means of an adhesive, whose primary purpose is decorative. However, certain wallcovering products may confer minor sound absorbtion and thermal resistance properties. It also provides for the evaluation of conformity of products to the requirements of this standard. It does not apply to wall coverings whose primary purpose is structural or protective (e.g. vapour or moisture barriers). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

EN 15102:2007 (E) 5 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 product refers to a construction product, as defined by the CPD, from an individual producer (i.e. the item to which the CE marking applies) 3.2 product family range of products (i.e. wallcovering products in roll and panel form) within defined limits of variability (defined by the manufacturer or a technical specification) of the product parameters and, if relevant, end-use parameters, for which the performance remains unchanged (does not get worse) NOTE This means that the results from one or more characteristics from one product within the family are representative for all other products within that family. 4 Characteristics 4.1 Reaction to fire If the wallcovering product is intended to be used (i.e. in end use condition) on internal walls or ceilings when such use is subject of reaction to fire regulations, its reaction to fire class and the associated mounting and fixing conditions shall be declared. If the wallcovering product is intended to be used (i.e. in end use condition) on internal walls or ceilings when such use is not subject to reaction to fire regulations, it shall be declared without testing as class F product, unless higher classification, based on tests, would be sought by the manufacturer. The wallcovering product shall be tested in its end use conditions and classified according to EN 13501-1. For the purposes of the reaction to fire test, the wallcovering product shall be attached, following the manufacturer's instructions, to a substrate chosen according to the provisions of EN 13238 by the use of the manufacturer's recommended generic adhesive.
4.2 Release of formaldehyde The release of formaldehyde from the wallcovering product shall be declared when subject to regulatory requirement and may be declared otherwise. The formaldehyde release, when tested in accordance with Test C of EN 12149:1997 (as modified in Annex A of EN 12781:2001 or EN 13085:2001 for cork wallcovering products in panel form and roll form respectively) shall not exceed 120 mg/kg of wallcovering. If no formaldehyde or products containing formaldehyde are added during the manufacturing process of the wallcovering product, and the raw materials are declared by the supplier to contain less than 120 mg/kg of formaldehyde, then testing is not necessary. 4.3 Release of dangerous substances 4.3.1 Heavy metals and specific elements 4.3.1.1 Requirements The migration of heavy metals and specific elements from the wallcovering product, expressed as mg/kg of wallcovering, shall not exceed the values given in Table 1 (after correction according to 4.3.1.2) when



EN 15102:2007 (E) 6 measured in accordance with Test A of EN 12149:1997. If none of these substances are added during the wallcovering manufacturing process, and all the raw materials are declared by the supplier to meet the requirements of Table 1, then testing is not necessary. 4.3.1.2 Interpretation of results The analytical results on migration of heavy metals and specific elements from the wallcovering product, obtained from the tests specified in EN 12149:1997 shall be corrected by subtracting the value of the analytical correction factors given in Table 2 in order to obtain a corrected analytical result. The wallcovering product shall be considered to meet the requirements of this European Standard if the corrected analytical result does not exceed the limits indicated in Table 1. Given the precision of the methods specified in this European Standard, the corrected analytical result to take into account the results of inter-laboratory tests (see Annex D of EN 71-3:1994) shall be used. EXAMPLE: Analytical result for lead: 120 mg/kg. Corresponding analytical correction in Table 3: 30 %. Corrected analytical result = 120 − (120 × 30)/100 = 120 − 36 = 84 mg/kg. This is regarded as satisfying the requirements of the standard (i.e. lead ≤ 90 mg/kg). NOTE The measuring methods used in EN 12149:1997 are derived directly from EN 71-3:1994 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.

EN 15102:2007 (E) 7 4.3.2 Release of vinyl chloride monomer The release of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) from the wallcovering product shall be declared when subject to regulatory requirement and may be declared otherwise. The maximum VCM release when tested to Test B of EN 12149:1997 shall not exceed 0,2 mg/kg of wallcovering.
If no polyvinyl chloride or products containing vinyl chloride are used during the manufacturing process of the wallcovering product or if the raw materials used are declared by the supplier to contain less than 1 mg/kg of vinyl chloride monomer, then testing on VCM release is not necessary. 4.4 Sound absorption The sound absorption of the wallcovering product shall be declared when its intended end use is subject to regulatory requirement and may be declared otherwise. It shall be measured in accordance with EN ISO 354 and expressed as a single number rating according to EN ISO 11654. 4.5 Thermal resistance The thermal resistance of the wallcovering product shall be declared when its intended end use is subject to regulatory requirement and may be declared otherwise. The value shall either be taken from EN 12524 or the products shall be tested in accordance with EN 12667 and a value declared in m2K/W or W/(mK). 5 Evaluation of conformity 5.1 General The conformity of the wallcovering product with the requirements of this standard and with the stated values (including classes) shall be demonstrated by: - initial type testing, - factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment (see Annex A). For the purposes of testing, wallcovering products may be grouped into families (see 3.2). 5.2 Initial type testing 5.2.1 General Initial type testing shall be performed to show conformity of the wallcovering product with this standard. Tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard (same product, same characteristic(s), test method, sampling procedure, system of attestation of conformity, etc.) may be taken into account. In addition, initial type testing shall be performed at the beginning of the production of a new product type (unless a member of the same family) or at the beginning of a new method of production (where this may affect the stated properties). All characteristics in Clause 4 shall be subject to initial type testing. Whenever a change occurs in the product raw materials, raw material suppliers, or the production process (subject to the definition of a family), which may change significantly one or more of the characteristics given in Clause 4, then the initial type testing shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s).



EN 15102:2007 (E) 8 5.2.2 Sampling, testing and compliance criteria 5.2.2.1 Sampling procedure The sample of the wallcovering product taken for initial type testing shall be representative of normal production or, in the case of new products, samples representative of intended future production. Whenever practicable, the random sampling method shall be used, in which every product in a batch has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. The required numbers of product shall be selected from a batch at random, without any consideration given to the condition or quality of the selected products. When random sampling is impracticable, e.g. when the products form a large stack or stacks with ready access to only a limited number of products, a representative sampling procedure shall be used. 5.2.2.2 Testing and compliance criteria The testing and compliance criteria are given in Table 3. The results of all initial type testing shall be recorded and held by the manufacturer for at least 5 years after the last date of production of the wallcovering product to which they relate.

5.3 Factory production control (FPC) The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain an FPC system to ensure that the subsequent wallcovering products placed on the market conform to the declared performance characteristics obtained on the basis of initial type testing. The FPC system shall consist of procedures, regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and the use of the results to control raw and other incoming materials or components, equipment, the production process and the product. The FPC system shall comply with at least the requirements of Annex A.



EN 15102:2007 (E) 10 6 Marking and labelling When compliance with this European Standard is claimed, the wallcovering product, its packaging or a label inside the packaging shall display the following information in such a way that it can be read without removing the wallcovering product from the packaging: a) number of this standard, i.e. EN 15102; b) manufacturer's or supplier's identification; c) product name and batch number (possibly in code form). NOTE Where ZA.3 covers the same requirements as this clause, the requirements of this clause are met.



EN 15102:2007 (E) 11 Annex A (normative)
Factory production control A.1 General The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain a factory production control (FPC) system to ensure that the subsequent wallcovering products placed on the market conform to the declared performance characteristics. The FPC system shall consist of procedures, regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and the use of the results to control raw and other incoming materials or components, equipment, the production process and the product. All the elements, requirements and provisions adopted by the manufacturer shall be documented in a systematic manner in the form of written policies and procedures. This production control system documentation shall ensure a common understanding of the conformity evaluation and enable the achievement of the required product characteristics and the effective operation of the production control system to be checked. Factory production control therefore brings together operational techniques and all measures allowing maintenance and control of the conformity of the product with its technical specifications. Its implementation may be achieved by controls and tests on measuring equipment, raw materials, processes, machines and manufacturing equipment and finished product, and by making use of the results thus obtained. A.2 General requirements As a minimum, the FPC system shall fulfil the requirements as described in the following clauses of EN ISO 9001:2000, where applicable: – 4.2 (except 4.2.1a)), – 5.1e), 5.5.1, 5.5.2, – Clause 6, – 7.1 (except 7.1a)), 7.2.3c), 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, – 8.2.3, 8.2.4, 8.3, 8.5.2. The FPC system shall: – be made specific to the products covered by this European Standard, and – ensure that the products placed on the market conform to the declared performance characteristics. The FPC system may be part of a quality management system, e.g. in accordance with EN ISO 9001:2000. The results of inspections, tests or assessments requiring action shall be recorded, as shall any action taken. The action to be taken when control values or criteria are not met shall be recorded and retained for the period specified in the manufacturer's FPC procedures.



EN 15102:2007 (E) 12 A.3 Equipment A.3.1 Testing All weighing, measuring, and testing equipment shall be calibrated and regularly inspected according to documented procedures, frequencies and criteria. A.3.2 Manufacturing All equipment, where applicable, used in the manufacturing process shall be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure that use, wear or failure does not cause inconsistency in the manufacturing process. Inspections and maintenance shall be carried out and recorded in accordance with the manufacturer’s written procedures and the records retained for the period defined in the manufacturer’s FPC procedures. A.4 Raw materials The specifications of all incoming raw materials shall be documented, as shall the inspection scheme for ensuring their conformity. In determining the checks required, consideration shall be given to the control exercised by the supplier and the documented evidence of conformity. A.5 Product testing and evaluation The manufacturer shall establish procedures to ensure that the declared values of all the characteristics are maintained or in the case of new products are capable of being maintained. The characteristics and the means of control are: a) Reaction to fire
Routine control of reaction to fire classification shall be on the basis of checks, of a type and a frequency to be defined and documented by the manufacturer. These checks are to ensure that the raw materials remain within the tolerances specified and the composition of the finished wallcovering product remains the same as that subject to initial type testing.
b) Release of formaldehyde, heavy metals and specific elements, and vinyl chloride monomer Routine control of these characteristics shall be on the basis of checks, of a type and a frequency to be defined and documented by the manufacturer. These checks are to ensure that the raw materials remain within the tolerances specified and the composition of the finished wallcovering product remains representative as that subject to initial type testing. c) All other characteristics
Routine control of these characteristics shall be on the basis of checks, of a type and a frequency to be defined and documented by the manufacturer. These checks are to ensure that the raw materials remain within the tolerances specified and the construction of the finished wallcovering product remains the same as that subject to initial type testing. Control of the specified characteristics may be accomplished by indirect testing, provided correlation between the indirect test method and the characteristics can be demonstrated.



EN 15102:2007 (E) 13 A.6 Non-conforming products The manufacturer shall have written procedures which specify how non-conforming wallcovering products shall be dealt with. Any such events shall be recorded as they occur and these records shall be kept for the period defined in the manufacturer's written procedures. The checking and testing status of the wallcovering product or the wallcovering product family shall be identified by means which clearly indicate the conformity or non-conformity of the product or product family with regards to the checks and tests performed. A.7 Traceability It is the manufacturer's, or the manufacturer's agent’s, responsibility to keep full records of individual wallcovering products or product batches, including their related manufacturing details and characteristics and to keep records of to whom these products or batches were first sold.
