Requirements for the raw materials and properties of the finished profile after manufacture. Includes methods of test.

This British Standard specifies requirements for the raw materials and properties of the finished profile after manufacture for white PVC-U extruded hollow profiles with heat welded corner joints for plastics windows manufactured from materials type B.

Methods of test are given in Appendix A to Appendix K.

NOTE 1 Plastics windows made from PVC-U extruded hollow profiles are specified in BS 7412 and requirements for white PVC-U hollow profiles for plastics windows manufactured from materials type A are specified in BS 7413.

NOTE 2 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
