European foreword
This document (prEN 13245-3:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 249 “Plastics”,
the secretariat of which is held by SIS.
This document is currently submitted to CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13245-3:2010.
EN 13245, Plastics ― Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) profiles for building applications, consists
of the following parts:
— Part 1: Designation of PVC-U profiles
— Part 2: PVC-U profiles and PVC-UE profiles for internal and external wall and ceiling finishes
— Part 3: Designation of PVC-UE profiles

1 Scope
This document establishes a system of designation for profiles made of cellular unplasticized poly(vinyl
chloride) (PVC-UE) intended to be used for building applications.
This part is applicable to light coloured and coloured mono-extruded PVC-UE profiles, co-extruded
profiles consisting of a core made of PVC-UE and a skin layer of non-cellular unplasticized poly(vinyl
chloride) (PVC-U), and PVC-UE profiles with laminated foil or paint.
It specifies test methods and test parameters.
This method of designation is intended to be used in product specification when the application is
specified.
Profiles for the management of electrical power cables, communication cables and power track systems
used for the distribution of electrical power, profiles for windows or doors and profiles for guttering are
not covered by this document .
NOTE It is intended to use this method for the designation of PVC-UE profiles for information related to
technical literature of the manufacturer, not for the marking of the products.
