For outside building applications, the PVC-UE profiles shall be classified in accordance with Table 4, either from codes "A.2" to "A.n" after an artificial ageing, or from codes "N.0" to "N.n" after a natural ageing. Codes use increments of 2 GJ/m², according to the radiant exposure received during the exposure. For inside building applications, the PVC-UE profiles shall be classified in accordance with Table 4 either code "A.2" or code "A.0". 5.5.4.2 Assessment of the falling weight impact resistance of the PVC-UE profiles after ageing For outside building applications, the PVC-UE profiles shall be classified in accordance with Table 5, either from codes "A.2" to "A.h" after an artificial ageing, or from codes "N.0" to "N.n" after a natural ageing.
