EN 12608-2 Non-Plasticised Polyvinylchloride (PVC-U) Profiles for the Manufacturing of Windows and Doors - Laminated Profiles

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 12608-2 standard. This European Standard specifies classifications, requirements and test methods for laminated non-plasticised polyvinylchloride (PVC-U) profiles intended for use in the manufacture of windows and doors.

This standard establishes the following classifications:

• Classification of main base profiles according to the wall thickness of the external walls;
• Classification of main base profiles according to the impact resistance of the falling mass;
• Classification of base profile materials according to their resistance to artificial weather conditions;
• Classification of foils according to their resistance to artificial weathering.

The standard likely focuses on laminated PVC-U profiles used in window and door manufacturing. Lamination involves applying a layer (usually decorative or protective) to the surface of the PVC-U profile.

The standard may provide a classification system for laminated PVC-U profiles based on specific characteristics such as performance, design or intended use. The standard will include detailed procedures for testing various properties of laminated PVC-U profiles. These tests may cover aspects such as mechanical properties, weather resistance, color fastness and adhesion of the laminate.
