    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This draft European Standard specifies classifications, requirements and test methods for unplasticized polyvinylchloride (PVC-U) profiles for the fabricationof windows. Profiles in accordance with this standard are capable of making satisfactory and durable windows, taking into account factors such as climatic conditions, design, methods of fabrication and long term performance.
