30126129 pdf BRITISH STANDARD BS EN 15102 2007 Decorative wallcoverings — Roll and panel form products ICS 91 180 +A1 2011 National foreword This British Standard is the UK implementation of EN 15102[.]
Release of formaldehyde
Heavy metals and specific elements
The migration of heavy metals and specific elements from wallcovering products must not exceed the limits specified in Table 2, as measured by Test A of EN 12149:1997 If no restricted substances are included in the manufacturing process and all raw materials are certified by the supplier to comply with Table 2, testing is not required.
The analytical results for the migration of heavy metals and specific elements from wallcovering products, as determined by the tests outlined in EN 12149:1997, must be adjusted by subtracting the values of the analytical correction factors provided in Table 3 to achieve accurate corrected analytical results.
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 2"
According to the European Standard, the corrected analytical results must incorporate findings from inter-laboratory tests, as outlined in Annex D of EN 71-3:1994.
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).
The measuring methods outlined in EN 12149:1997 are based on EN 71-3:1994, which focuses on toy safety Specifically, Annex D, section D.4, addresses the statistical uncertainty of the testing procedure and the interpretation of results, thereby supporting the need for a correction factor.
!Table 2" — Maximum migration of heavy metals and specific elements of wallcovering products
Heavy metal or element Symbol Maximum migration in mg/kg
Antimony Sb No upper limit

Release of vinyl chloride monomer
Vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) emissions from wallcovering products must be reported when required by regulations, and may also be disclosed voluntarily The highest VCM release is determined through Test B.
EN 12149:1997 shall not exceed 0,2 mg/kg of wallcovering
If the wallcovering product is manufactured without polyvinyl chloride or vinyl chloride-containing products, or if the supplier certifies that the raw materials contain less than 1 mg/kg of vinyl chloride monomer, testing for VCM release is not required.
Sound absorption
The sound absorption of wallcovering products must be declared when required by regulations, and it may also be declared voluntarily This measurement should follow the EN ISO 354 standard and be presented as a single number rating in accordance with EN ISO 11654.
Thermal resistance
The thermal resistance of wallcovering products must be declared when required by regulations, and it may be declared in other cases as well This value can be sourced from EN 12524 or determined through testing in accordance with EN 12667, expressed in either m² K/W or W/(mK).
General
The conformity of the wallcovering product with the requirements of this standard and with the stated values (including classes) shall be demonstrated by:
- 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 3.3)".
Initial type testing
General
Initial type testing is essential to demonstrate that the wallcovering product meets the required standards Previous tests conducted under the same conditions—such as product type, characteristics, test methods, sampling procedures, and conformity assessment systems—can be considered Additionally, initial type testing must be carried out when a new product type is introduced or when a new production method is implemented that could impact the product's properties.
All characteristics in Clause 4 shall be subject to initial type testing
Any significant change in product raw materials, suppliers, or the production process that affects the characteristics outlined in Clause 4 necessitates a repeat of the initial type testing for the relevant characteristics.
Sampling, testing and compliance criteria
For initial type testing, the wallcovering product sample must accurately represent standard production, or for new products, it should reflect the anticipated future production.
The random sampling method should be employed whenever possible, ensuring that each product in a batch has an equal opportunity to be chosen for the sample Products are selected randomly from the batch, regardless of their condition or quality.
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
The testing and compliance criteria are given in !Table 4"
Manufacturers must retain the results of all initial type testing for a minimum of five years following the last production date of the related wallcovering product.

Factory production control (FPC)
The manufacturer must create, document, and uphold a Factory Production Control (FPC) system to guarantee that wallcovering products meet the declared performance characteristics established through initial type testing This FPC system should include procedures, regular inspections, tests, and assessments, utilizing the results to manage raw materials, components, equipment, the production process, and the final product Additionally, the FPC system must adhere to the minimum requirements outlined in Annex A.
To comply with the European Standard EN 15102, wallcovering products must display specific information on their packaging or labels, ensuring it is legible without removing the product This includes the standard number, the manufacturer's or supplier's identification, as well as the product name and batch number, which may be presented in code form.
NOTE Where ZA.3 covers the same requirements as this clause, the requirements of this clause are met
General
The manufacturer must create, document, and uphold a factory production control (FPC) system to guarantee that wallcovering products meet their declared performance characteristics This FPC system should include established procedures, routine inspections, testing, and assessments, utilizing the results to manage raw materials, components, equipment, the production process, and the final product.
Manufacturers must systematically document all elements, requirements, and provisions through written policies and procedures This documentation of the production control system ensures a shared understanding of conformity evaluation, facilitating the achievement of necessary product characteristics and enabling effective monitoring of the production control system's operation.
Factory production control integrates operational techniques and measures to ensure that products meet their technical specifications This process involves conducting controls and tests on measuring equipment, raw materials, manufacturing processes, machines, and finished products, utilizing the results obtained to maintain and verify conformity.
General requirements
As a minimum, the FPC system shall fulfil the requirements as described in the following clauses of
– 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
Inspection and assessment results that necessitate action must be documented, along with any subsequent actions taken Additionally, any actions required when control values or criteria are not met should be recorded and retained for the duration specified in the manufacturer's FPC procedures.
Equipment
Testing
All weighing, measuring, and testing equipment shall be calibrated and regularly inspected according to documented procedures, frequencies and criteria.
Manufacturing
All manufacturing equipment must undergo regular inspections and maintenance to prevent inconsistencies in the production process due to use, wear, or failure These inspections and maintenance activities should be documented according to the manufacturer's written procedures, with records retained for the duration specified in the manufacturer's FPC procedures.
Raw materials
All incoming raw materials must have documented specifications and an inspection scheme to ensure conformity The necessary checks will be determined by evaluating the supplier's control measures and the documented evidence of conformity.
Product testing and evaluation
The manufacturer must implement procedures to guarantee that the declared values of all characteristics are upheld, or that new products can maintain these values One key characteristic to control is the reaction to fire.
Routine fire reaction classification checks must be defined and documented by the manufacturer, ensuring that raw materials meet specified tolerances and that the composition of the finished wallcovering product remains consistent with initial type testing Additionally, monitoring for the release of formaldehyde, heavy metals, specific elements, and vinyl chloride monomer is essential.
Routine monitoring of these characteristics will be conducted through checks defined and documented by the manufacturer These checks ensure that raw materials stay within specified tolerances and that the composition of the finished wallcovering product remains consistent with the initial type testing.
Regular monitoring of these characteristics must be conducted through checks defined and documented by the manufacturer These checks are essential to ensure that raw materials stay within specified tolerances and that the construction of the finished wallcovering product remains consistent with the 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.
Non-conforming products
The manufacturer must establish documented procedures for managing non-conforming wallcovering products All incidents of non-conformance should be recorded promptly, and these records must be maintained for the duration specified in the manufacturer's written guidelines.
The status of checking and testing for wallcovering products or their families must be clearly identified to indicate whether they conform or do not conform to the required checks and tests.
Traceability
Manufacturers and their agents must maintain comprehensive records of each wallcovering product or batch, detailing their manufacturing specifics and characteristics, as well as the initial purchasers of these products or batches.
A.8 ! Initial inspection of factory and of FPC
Initial inspection of factory and of FPC shall generally be carried out when the production is already running and the FPC is already in practice
Initial inspections of the factory and the FPC can occur prior to the commencement of production and before the FPC is implemented.
The following shall be assessed:
The factory assessment will ensure that all necessary resources for meeting the component characteristics outlined in this European Standard are available or will be made available Additionally, it will verify that the Factory Production Control (FPC) procedures, as per the FPC documentation, are being or will be effectively implemented Furthermore, the assessment will confirm that the component adheres to the initial type testing samples that have been verified for compliance with this European Standard.
All manufacturing facilities where products are produced and undergo final testing as part of the FPC must be inspected to ensure compliance with specified conditions A single visit can assess multiple products, production lines, or processes If the FPC system encompasses various products or processes and the general requirements are confirmed for one, there is no need to reassess these requirements for others within the same system.
Previous assessments conducted under this standard can be considered valid if they pertain to the same conformity attestation system for the identical product, maintaining the same design, construction, and functionality, ensuring that the results are relevant to the product in question.
Any assessment and its results shall be documented in a report.
Continuous surveillance of FPC"
Surveillance of the FPC will occur at least once a year during unannounced visits, unless prior assessments indicate that a reduced frequency is acceptable, with a maximum interval of five years If any product non-compliance is detected, the surveillance frequency will revert to at least once per year.
The FPC surveillance will involve reviewing the FPC test plans and production processes for each product to identify any changes since the last assessment The importance of these changes will be evaluated.
Checks shall be made to ensure that the test plans are still correctly implemented and that the production equipment is still correctly maintained and calibrated
Records of tests and measurements conducted during production and on finished products must be reviewed to verify that the performance characteristics of the products align with those declared in the samples submitted for type testing Additionally, it is essential to ensure that appropriate actions have been taken for any non-compliant products.
Any assessment and its results shall be documented in a report."
