It was prepared by Subcommitt
8、ees B/538/1, Windows, and B/538/2, Doors, under the authority of Technical Committee B/538, Doors, windows, shutters, hardware and curtain walling. A list of organizations represented on these committees can be obtained on request to their secretary.SupersessionThis British Standard supersedes BS 74
9、12:2002, which will be withdrawn in December 2008.Relationship with other publicationsThe requirements for raw materials and properties of the finished profile for white PVC-U extruded hollow profiles are specified in BS EN 12608. The requirements for surface covered PVC-U extruded hollow profiles a
10、re specified in BS 7722.This British Standard is related to the following other standards. BS EN 14351-1 is the harmonized European product standard for windows and external pedestrian doorsets without resistance to fire and smoke leakage characteristics. It gives a list of performance characteristi
11、cs and classifications of performance, but does not give guidance on determining the appropriate classification for any specific application. BS 6375 (currently in two parts, with a third in preparation) is the national application document in the UK, giving performance requirements and guidance for
12、 the selection of appropriate classes of performance from BS EN 14351-1. The performance aspects in BS 6375 are referred to in BS 7412.Guidance on the survey and installation of windows and doorsets is given in BS 8213-4.Information about this documentThis is a full revision of the standard, and int
13、roduces the following principal changes: changes to take into account the publication of harmonized European product standard EN 14351 in three parts; information on how the requirements relate to the European Construction Products Directive.Presentational conventionsThe provisions of this standard
14、are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Its requirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is “shall”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented in smaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.BS 7412:2007iv BSI 2007Co
15、ntractual and legal considerationsThis publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legal obligations.Attention is drawn to the Building Regulations

BSI 2007 1BS 7412:20071 ScopeThis British Standard specifies requirements for the design, fabrication and performance of windows and glazed doorsets made from PVC-U e
17、xtruded hollow profiles.This British Standard applies to windows and doorsets manufactured from PVC-U hollow profiles incorporating fusion welded corner joints.It applies to windows and doors fabricated into frames in a factory, to be installed vertically (within 15) into the external face of buildi
18、ngs, as single or multi-light units, in coupled assemblies when appropriate, of the following types:a) windows:1) hinged: side-hung (open in or out), top-hung (open out), bottom-hung (open in), tilt and turn or turn before tilt;2) projecting: side-hung (open in or open out) and top-hung (open out or
19、 reversible);3) pivoted: horizontal and vertical (hung centrally or off-centre) including reversible; 4) sliding: horizontal and vertical;5) side-hung: fully reversible;6) fixed light;b) doors:1) single leaf single-swing doors with or without side lights and top panels;2) double leaf single-swing do
20、ors with or without side lights and top panels.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.It is applicable to
21、 assemblies up to the point of installation.NOTE Guidance on the evaluation of conformity is given in Annex A. Guidance on durability and recycling is given in Annex B.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated reference
