KR · KATS safety standard for wallpaper and paper flooring
Wallpaper and paper flooring: product-specific requirements
Identify the market and product category first. Each dossier separates legal duties, referenced standards, evidence and the comparison needed for an award.
Product Scope
Wallpaper and paper flooring within the named product definition. Coatings, structural boards and insulation products are separate categories.
Requirements
Match the construction and material to the category standard and applicable safety/labelling conditions. Building fire and installation requirements remain separate from this consumer-material category.
Required Evidence
Provide material and adhesive composition, full applicable reports, product identification and use/installation limitations.
Comparison for the Awards
A low chemical-emission result does not demonstrate a better fire classification. Compare each property with its own applicable basis.
Version & Transition
The KATS category record identifies an effective date of 16 April 2022; later notices and the actual building application still need to be linked.
Official Sources
Applicability depends on the product classification, intended use, configuration and actual sales territory. Manufacturing, placing-on-the-market and testing dates, together with transition provisions, are checked as required by each applicable rule. The directory identifies sources; it does not replace assessment of the specific model. Standards are identified by reference, and their authoritative texts remain with the issuing bodies. Official source documents retain their original language.
