Technical Committee 2023 – 2024

The IGI Technical Committee’s purpose is to advise IGI on technical matters of common interest transcending corporate and national boundaries. The committee aims at establishing criteria and standards of performance of wallcoverings when used by the ultimate consumer. It liaises with national and international standards associations and trade associations to ensure the industry’s freedom to trade and to maintain a common industry response on technical matters. The Technical Committee meets 2-3 times a year.
