Plastics - Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) profiles for building applications - Part 3: Designation of PVC-UE profiles
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.
Kunststoffe - Profile aus weichmacherfreiem Polyvinylchlorid (PVC-U) für die Anwendung im Bauwesen - Teil 3: Bezeichnung von Profilen aus PVC-UE
Dieses Dokument legt ein Bezeichnungssystem zur Bezeichnung von Profilen aus geschäumtem weichmacherfreien Polyvinylchlorid (PVC-UE) für die Anwendung im Bauwesen fest.
Dieser Teil gilt für hellfarbige und farbige mono-extrudierte PVC-UE-Profile, koextrudierte Profile, die aus einem PVC-UE-Kern und einer Außenschicht aus ungeschäumtem weichmacherfreien Polyvinylchlorid (PVC-UE) bestehen sowie für PVC-UE-Profile mit beschichteter Folie oder Lack.
Es werden Prüfverfahren und Prüfparameter festgelegt.
Dieses Bezeichnungsverfahren ist für die Verwendung bei der Produktspezifikation vorgesehen, sobald die Anwendung festgelegt ist.
Profile für die Führung elektrischer Stromkabel, Datenkabel und Stromschienen für die Verteilung von elektrischem Strom, Fenster- oder Türprofile und Profile für Dachrinnen werden durch dieses Dokument nicht abgedeckt.
ANMERKUNG Dieses Verfahren ist zur Bezeichnung von PVC-UE-Profilen für Informationen in Bezug auf die technische Literatur des Herstellers und nicht für die Kennzeichnung der Produkte zu verwenden.
Plastiques - Profilés en poly(chlorure de vinyle) non plastifié (PVC-U) pour applications dans le bâtiment - Partie 3 : Désignation des profilés en PVC-UE
Le présent document définit un système de désignation des profilés fabriqués en poly(chlorure de vinyle) non plastifié expansé (PVC-UE), destinés à être utilisés pour des applications dans le bâtiment.
La présente partie s’applique aux profilés en PVC-UE colorés et de coloris clair mono-extrudés, aux profilés co-extrudés constitués d’une partie centrale faite en PVC-UE et d’une couche externe en poly(chlorure de vinyle) non plastifié non expansé (PVC-U), ainsi qu’aux profilés en PVC-UE avec un film plaxé ou avec de la laque.
Elle spécifie les méthodes et paramètres d’essai.
Le système de désignation défini est destiné à être utilisé dans la spécification des produits lorsque l’application est spécifiée.
Le présent document ne traite pas des profilés pour la gestion des câbles d’énergie électrique, des câbles de communication et des chemins d’alimentation utilisés pour la distribution de l’énergie électrique, des profilés pour fenêtres ou portes, ni des profilés pour gouttières .
NOTE Il est prévu d’utiliser ce système de désignation des profilés en PVC-UE pour les informations liées à la documentation technique du fabricant et non pour le marquage des produits.
