This document specifies the classifications, requirements and test methods for unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) profiles covered with foils designed for external uses bonded with adhesives 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.<\/p>\n
