Introduction
An overview of European standards for products used as wall finishes is given in Figure 1.

Figure 1 — European standards for products used as wall finishes
1 Scope
This document specifies characteristics for thermoplastics rigid protective wallcovering panels whose
purposes are decorative and protective, but non-structural.
The thermoplastics rigid protective wallcovering panels are intended to be used as finishes for hanging
onto internal walls and wall partitions by means of adhesive. Their surface may be with or without
embossing.
It also specifies the procedures for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP)
of the thermoplastics rigid protective wallcovering panels.
This document does not cover thermoplastics rigid protective wallcovering panels:
— fixed onto internal walls and wall partitions by other means than by adhesives, as well as the
adhesives and ancillary products themselves,
— intended to be used on ceilings.
