EN 16153:2013 (E) 13 4 Requirements 4.1 Visual appearance The sheets shall have regular and smooth surfaces. There shall be no scratches, marks or other defects larger than 4 mm2 each anywhere on the sheet surface. There shall be no obvious bubbles, inclusions, cracks, depressions or other defects anywhere in the sheet that could adversely affect the performance of the sheet in its intended application. The edges of the sheet shall be straight and cut cleanly. The colour distribution shall be visually uniform, unless otherwise specified. For specific uses, further requirements concerning the visual aspects of the sheets might be considered. 4.2 Dimensions and mass per unit area and their tolerances The dimensional tolerances and mass per unit area shall be assessed when subject to regulatory requirement.
When tested in accordance with the test methods specified in 5.1.1 to 5.1.12, the dimensional tolerances and mass per unit area of the sheets shall conform to the requirements given in Table 2. The test methods given in Table 2 are used for initial type testing, and are the reference test methods. Any other indirect test method may be chosen provided that it is sufficiently accurate to ensure that the dimensions of the products meet the requirements of Table 2 and as far as a correlation is demonstrated with the concerned reference test method.

EN 16153:2013 (E) 14 Table 2 — Requirements for dimensions and mass per unit area and their tolerances Characteristic Test method Requirement Overall sheet thickness 5.1.4 The nominal overall sheet thickness of the sheet shall be declared in millimetres.
The overall sheet thickness at any point shall not vary by more than ± 0,5 mm of this value. Mass per unit area 5.1.5 The nominal mass per unit area of the sheet shall be declared in grams per square metre. The mass per unit area of a sheet shall be not less than 95 % of the declared nominal mass per unit area. Variation of mass per unit area 5.1.6 The mass per unit area of each cut section across the width of the sheet shall not vary by more than ± 6 % from the calculated mean mass per unit area of the cut sections. Sheet length 5.1.7 The sheet length shall be within the interval from: - 0 mm to +12 mm of the declared sheet length for sheet length up to 3 000 mm;
- 0 % to +0,40 % of the declared sheet length for sheet length greater than 3 000 mm. Sheet width 5.1.7 The sheet width shall be within the interval from – 2 mm to + 6 mm of the declared sheet width. Deviation from rectangular shape (only for rectangular sheets) 5.1.8 The difference between the lengths of the two diagonals of the sheet shall be less than 0,5 % of the width of the sheet. Wall and internal feature thickness 5.1.9 When required, the nominal wall and internal feature thicknesses and the tolerances shall be declared. Sheet flatness

Lateral curvature 5.1.12 The maximum distance between the straight edge and the side(s) of the sheet shall be < 5 mm/m.
4.3 Spectral characteristics The spectral characteristics of multiwall PC sheets shall be assessed when subject to regulatory requirement. The spectral characteristics of a multiwall PC sheet include the luminous and solar characteristics, and the reflexion and transmission characteristics. The multiwall PC sheets are defined by their geometry, colour and mass per unit area. A change of one of these physical characteristics affects the spectral characteristics of a multiwall PC sheet. The spectral characteristics shall be measured according to EN 14500 considering the samples cut from multiwall PC sheets as thick translucent samples (see EN 14500:2008, 6.3.2). NOTE 1 The normal-hemispherical light transmittance, 2v,n-h, and the normal-hemispherical solar transmittance, 2e,n-h, as designated in EN 14500 correspond respectively to the light transmittance, 2v, and the solar direct transmittance, 2e, as designated in EN 410. The test samples shall be of sufficient size to cover its structural aspects. SIST EN 16153:2013



EN 16153:2013 (E) 15 Test samples shall be clean and dry, unless otherwise specified. The storage and the cleaning procedures stated by the manufacturer shall be followed. The spectral characteristics, i.e. the light transmittance, 2v, and the solar direct transmittance, 2e, shall be declared and subsequent measurements shall be within ± 5 absolute value (or units) of the declared values.
