DIN EN 13245-3:2010-11

This standard (DIN EN 13245-3) establishes a system of designation for profiles made of cellular unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-UE) intended to be used for building applications. This part is applicable to light coloured and coloured mono-extruded PVC-UE profiles, co-extruded profiles consisting of a core made of PVC-UE and a skin layer of non-cellular unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), and PVC-UE profiles with laminated foil or lacquered-coating. It specifies test methods and test parameters. This method of designation is intended to be used in product specification when the application is specified. It is recommended to use this method for the designation of PVC-UE profiles for information related to technical literature of the manufacturer, not for the marking of the products. 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 are not covered by this European Standard. The European Standard has been prepared by CEN/TC 249 "Plastics", the secretariat of which is held by NBN (Belgium). The responsible Working Committee at DIN, NA 054-04-07 AA "Kunststoff-Fensterprofile" ("Thermoplastics profiles for windows") of FNK, mirrors CEN/TC 249 on the national level.
