This British Standard specifies requirements for the design, fabrication and performance of windows and glazed doorsets made from PVC-U extruded hollow profiles.<\/p>\n

This British Standard applies to windows and doorsets manufactured from PVC-U hollow profiles incorporating fusion welded corner joints.<\/p>\n

It applies to windows and doors fabricated into frames in a factory, to be installed vertically (within 15\u00b0) into the external face of buildings, as single or multi-light units, in coupled assemblies when appropriate, of the following types:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    windows:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      hinged: side-hung (open in or out), top-hung (open out), bottom-hung (open in), tilt and turn or turn before tilt;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      projecting: side-hung (open in or open out) and top-hung (open out or reversible);<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      pivoted: horizontal and vertical (hung centrally or off-centre) including reversible;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    4. \n

      sliding: horizontal and vertical;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    5. \n

      side-hung: fully reversible;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    6. \n

      fixed light;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n

    7. \n

      doors:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        single leaf single-swing doors with or without side lights and top panels;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      2. \n

        double leaf single-swing doors with or without side lights and top panels.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        It is applicable to assemblies in which any frame member is not longer than 3 m. It does not apply to curtain walls that span across horizontal structural members of floors but is applicable to windows within a curtain walling system.<\/p>\n

        It is applicable to assemblies up to the point of installation.<\/p>\n

        \n

        NOTE Guidance on the evaluation of conformity is given in Annex A. Guidance on durability and recycling is given in Annex B.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

        2) largest area side-hung (SH) with the tallest height;
        3) maximum area fixed light (F) for the weathertightness classification being considered;

        7) largest area horizontal pivot (HP) with longest width;
        8) largest area vertical pivot (VP) with tallest height;
        9) vertical pivots (VP) should be treated as side-hung (SH) windows unless they are 2\/3 open out, 1\/3 open in, in which case they should be treated as a centre pivot;
