Scope

This document specifies a method for exposing specimens made from poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) based profiles to xenon-arc radiation, in order to assess changes in characteristics. It is applicable to PVC based profiles including those covered with foil, paint, thermo-laminated foils or coextruded. NOTE The determination of changes in colour and variations of properties after exposure of PVC based profiles to xenon-arc radiation is described in an informative Annex A.

Purpose

According to the result of Systematic Review the following changes will be introduced:
- update of references
- type of specimen holder (backed or open framed) will be added to the test report
- colour measurement according to EN ISO/CIE 11664-6 as alternative method for uniform colours will be added in A.2.3 (for profiles covered with paint)

Note: in case the WI is based on documents from other organizations than ISO/IEC, please specify it here
