Plastics - Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) profiles for building applications - Part 1: Designation of PVC-U profiles

This document establishes a system of designation for profiles made of unplasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) intended to be used for building applications. This part is applicable to light coloured and coloured PVC-U profiles, obtained by a mono-extrusion or a co-extrusion process, with or without surface finishing (e.g. laminated foil, paint, printing process). 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 document1.
