    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European standard specifies a method for exposing test pieces from an unplasticized polyvinylchloride (PVC-U) profile for the fabrication of windows and doors to a Xenon arc laboratory light source, in order to assess changes in impact strength and colour. The method given in 8.10 (b) is the reference method of colour measurement.
