This document defines quality and test methodologies for recycled PVC to be used in PVC window profile systems. It contains a description of the controlled loop as such, the definition of those material transformation steps which are relevant for product quality, in particular recycling input and output and profile manufacturing input and output. Traceability tools are specified to characterize this loop as a controlled loop. With regard to PVC waste treatment, the present standard relates to existing standards such as EN 15343, EN 15346 and EN 15347 With regard to semifinished and/or finished products, it refers to the European Standard for un-plasticized PVC window profiles (see EN 12608-1) and to the European harmonized standard for windows and doors (see EN 14351-1).
