Standards Development
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.
The European standard EN 12608-1:2016+A1:2020 needs to be revised urgently for the following reasons:
A) Material definitions need to be adapted to the new terminology standard EN 17508:2021
B) The structure of the document needs to be aligned with the new EN 12608-2:2023 with regard to material requirements
C) Minor technical changes.
