Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) profiles for the fabrication of windows and doors - Classification, requirements and test methods - Part 1: Non-coated PVC-U profiles with light coloured surfaces

This European Standard specifies the classifications, requirements and test methods for non-coated unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) profiles with light coloured surfaces intended to be used for the fabrication of windows and doors.
It is applicable to PVC-U profiles with the colorimetric co-ordinates measured on the visible surfaces, as follows:
-   L* ≥ 82 (chromaticity co-ordinate Y ≥ 60),
-   -2,5 ≤ a* ≤ 5,
-   -5 ≤ b* ≤ 15.
NOTE 1   For editorial reasons in this document the term "window" is used for window/door.
NOTE 2   Profiles made from PVC-U materials with reinforcements (e.g. glass fibres) are not part of this scope.

Profile aus weichmacherfreiem Polyvinylchlorid (PVC-U) zur Herstellung von Fenstern und Türen - Klassifizierung, Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren - Teil 1: Nicht beschichtete PVC-U Profile mit hellen Oberflächen

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Klassifizierungen, Anforderungen an und Prüfverfahren für nicht be-schichtete, helle Profile aus weichmacherfreiem Polyvinylchlorid (PVC U) zur Herstellung von Fenstern und Türen fest.
Diese Norm gilt für PVC U-Profile mit den folgenden Farbmaßzahlen, die auf sichtbaren Oberflächen ge¬messen wurden:
- L* ≥ 82 (Farbwertkoordinate Y ≥ 60),
- −2,5 ≤ a* ≤ 5,
- −5 ≤ b* ≤ 15.
ANMERKUNG 1 Aus redaktionellen Gründen wird in diesem Dokument die Benennung „Fenster“ für Fenster/Tür an¬gewendet.
ANMERKUNG 2 Profile aus PVC U-Materialien mit Verstärkungsstoffen (z. B. Glasfasern) liegen außerhalb dieses An¬wendungsbereichs.

Profilés de poly(chlorure de vinyle) non plastifié (PVC-U) pour la fabrication des fenêtres et des portes - Classification, exigences et méthodes d'essai - Partie 1 : Profilés en PVC-U non revêtus avec des faces de teinte claire

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les classifications, les exigences et les méthodes d’essai des profilés de poly(chlorure de vinyle) non plastifié (PVC U) non revêtus avec des faces de teinte claire destinés à être utilisés pour la fabrication des fenêtres et des portes.
Elle s’applique aux profilés en PVC U dont les coordonnées colorimétriques mesurées sur les surfaces visibles sont les suivantes :
-   L* ≥ 82 (coordonnée de chromaticité Y ≥ 60),
-   -2,5 ≤ a* ≤ 5,
-   -5 ≤ b* ≤ 15.
NOTE 1   Pour des raisons éditoriales, dans ce document le terme « fenêtre » est utilisé pour « fenêtre/porte ».
NOTE 2   Les profilés fabriqués à partir de matériau PVC U avec renforts (par exemple des fibres de verre) sont en dehors du présent domaine d’application.
