This document specifies terms and definitions for different PVC based materials used for the production of unplasticized polyvinylchloride (PVC-U) profiles for windows and doors. It describes the content and meaning of post-consumer and post-industrial recyclate as it is used in new products. It distinguishes between different PVC recepies used in production for PVC window and door profiles. This document shall serve as the reference standard for definitions used in related standards such as all parts of EN 12608, EN 17410 or standards for PVC based profiles for building applications.

This document references existing quality and test methodologies for recycled PVC to be used in PVC-U profiles for windows and doors. 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 document 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 PVC-U window profiles (see EN 12608 1) and to the European Standards for windows and doors (see EN 14351 1, EN 14351-2 and EN 16034). The controlled loop treatment of PVC profiles will be aligned to the general understanding of life cycles as outlined in EN 15804.

This part of ISO 16486 specifies the requirements of fitness for purpose of the unplasticized polyamide (PA-U) piping system, intended to be buried and used for the supply of gaseous fuels. It also specifies the definitions of electrofusion and butt fusion joints. This part of ISO 16486 specifies the method of preparation of test piece joints and the tests to be carried out on these joints for assessing the fitness for purpose of the system under normal and extreme conditions. It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods to which it refers. ISO 16486 is applicable to PA-U piping systems the components of which are connected by fusion jointing and/or mechanical jointing. In conjunction with the other parts of ISO 16486, it is applicable to PA-U fittings, their joints and to joints with components of PA-U.
