Concept URI	http://dd.eionet.europa.eu/vocabulary/eurostat/ncl/NCL27
Preferred label	Carpets, rugs, mats and matting, linoleum and other materials for covering existing floors; wall hangings (non-textile)
Definition	Basically, this is the "floor covering and wallpaper" class. Perhaps the most important wording in the Class Heading is "materials for covering existing floors". This is the language that differentiates items in Class 27 from certain building materials used in the construction of floors that are in Class 19, like "tiles". There are very few exceptions to this broad category. As expressed in the Explanatory Note, the coverings in Class 27 are intended to be added as furnishings to previously constructed floors and walls. Also, wall coverings are included in this class. The Class Heading specifically mentions non-textile wall hangings. This part of the Class Heading permits the inclusion of wallpaper in the class, although wallpaper is not normally considered a "wall hanging". The term also makes it clear that wall hangings or tapestries are in this class only if they are not textile. Textile tapestries should be classified in Class 24.
