This document specifies the classifications, requirements and test methods for unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) profiles with thermo-laminated foils designed for external uses which are intended to be used for the fabrication of windows and doors. NOTE 1 For editorial reasons, in this document, the term "window" is used for window/door. NOTE 2 For the purpose of production control, test methods other than those specified in this document can be used.

 

This document defines a system for the classification of recycled plastics based on the available data depth (Data Quality Levels, DQL) and provides guidelines for the labelling of the recyclate type and recycled content in compounds. It is intended to support parties involved in the use and trading of recycled plastics, explicitly including digital trading platforms.

 

This document applies to unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) profiles that are intended to be used for the fabrication of windows and doors in accordance with the EN 14351 series or EN 16034, shutters according to EN 13659 and other construction profiles in accordance with the EN 13245 series. Furthermore, this document is also applicable for profiles used in other PVC-U products, which can include recyclates. This document gives references and specifies general and product-specific design for recycling principles. NOTE 1 In this document, the term “PVC-U profiles” is used to refer to construction profiles made from PVC-U, PVC-UE, and PVC-U-based natural fibre composites (NFC). Criteria for the use of materials, process conditions, and recyclability are defined, which are considered during the design process. This document defines principles to - obtain the highest possible share of recyclability of the PVC-U part in the profile, and - increase the share of PVC-U recyclate in the profile, while complying with requirements for the final product, where existent and defined elsewhere. This document establishes flowcharts which help to assess, (i) how recyclability is evaluated and (ii) whether inclusion of rPVC-U is possible. The following components of the final PVC-U construction product are considered in this document: - profiles; - reinforcements; - gaskets; - insulations; - coverings. This document specifies only the technical connection of the profile to other components (such as glazing or hardware) and their impact on the recyclability of the PVC-U profiles. The recyclability of the other components (e.g. glazing, aluminium cover, hardware) is excluded from this document. NOTE 2 Examples for profiles included in this document and their intended use can be found in Figure 1.

 

This document specifies the main characteristics and associated test methods for assessing of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) recyclates intended for use in the production of semi-finished/finished products. It is intended to support parties involved in the use of ABS recyclates (rABS) to agree on specifications for specific and generic applications. This document does not cover the characterization of plastics wastes, which is covered by the EN 15347 series, neither traceability topics which are covered by EN 15343.

This standard specifies methods for the simultaneous measurement of the fibre tensile strength distribution and the fibre resin interfacial shear strength of recycled carbon fibres using the modified fragmentation test[1]. The Young's modulus and fibre diameter of the fibre to which this standard applies must already be known. The thermal shrinkage of the polymer must also be known.

 

This document specifies a method for determining the scratch properties of plastics under defined conditions. The method involves making a scratch by moving a hard tool (scratch tip) under specified conditions of load and speed across the surface of a test specimen and then assessing the result. The method is used to investigate the behaviour of specified types of specimens under the scratch conditions defined and for classifying the type of scratch of specimens within the limitations inherent in the test conditions. It can also be used to determine comparative data for different types of material by means of a so-called scratch map in which the types of scratch behaviour for each set of test conditions of test load and test speed are determined using the basic method of constant-load testing, and also by means of the so-called critical normal load (see 3.8) determined using an alternative method of linearly increasing load testing. “The method is suitable for use with the following range of materials. The method specifies the preferred dimensions for the test specimen and the preferred scratch-tip geometry.

This part of ISO 16365 establishes a system of designation for thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers, which is based on ISO 1043 (all parts) and ISO 11469. The designation system may be used as the basis for specifications. The designation system is applicable to all thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers. It applies to materials ready for normal use in the form of powder, granules or pellets, unmodified or modified by colourants, fillers or other additives, etc. The types of thermoplastic polyurethane are differentiated from each other by a classification system based on appropriate levels of the designatory properties: and on information about the alternating hard and soft segments in the main chain, the intended application and/or method of processing, important properties, additives, colour, fillers, and reinforcing materials. It is not intended to imply that materials having the same designation give necessarily the same performance. This part of ISO 16365 does not provide engineering data, performance data, or data on processing conditions which may be required to specify a material for a particular application and/or method of processing. If such additional properties are required, it is intended that they be determined in accordance with the test methods specified in ISO 16365-2, if suitable. In order to specify a thermoplastic elastomer for a particular application or reproducible processing, additional requirements are intented to be given in data block 5 (see 3.1 and 3.6).

It is applicable to adhesives used in load bearing timber structures and to other wood adhesives. This method is intended primarily to obtain data for the performance of wood adhesives at high temperatures. The result of this method (temperature class) can be used to classify the adhesive with respect to its performance in fire.
