Preferred label	Building materials (non-metallic); non-metallic rigid pipes for building; asphalt, pitch and bitumen; non-metallic transportable buildings; monuments, not of metal
Definition	Non-metallic building materials comprise most of the items in Class 19. Building materials made of metal are in Class 6. Anything that constitutes a structure and is not made primarily of metal, from bicycle parking installation to entire buildings, is in Class 19. Also, some specialized building materials are in Class 19 when they might otherwise be classified in another class. One such item is bituminous coatings which could be in Class 2 since it is a coating but is classified in Class 19 because it is a specialized building product. A complete home that is built entirely in a factory and then transported and installed on-site is in Class 19 because they are usually composed primarily of non-metal components even though parts of the building may be made of metal. Note that non-metallic rigid pipes for building are in Class 19. These are not to be confused with flexible pipes, not of metal that are in Class 17. Objects made of stone, marble or other Class 19 materials are in Class 19 even if the objects are artistic sculptures or figurines. Since there is no specific class for three-dimensional objects of art, they are classified by their material compositions.
