Plastics - Plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-P) membranes for inground swimming pools - Part 1: Homogenous membranes of nominal thickness equal to or greater than 0,75 mm

This European Standard specifies the visual, dimensional, mechanical and durability characteristics of plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-P) homogenous membranes of nominal thickness greater than or equal to 0,75 mm for use as liners for inground swimming pools. It also specifies the characteristics of the composition of the PVC-P used to produce the membranes. It applies specifically to homogenous membranes intended for use in swimming pools where the water temperature is less than or equal to 28 °C. If the membrane manufacturer permits a temperature of water continuously maintained above 28 °C, this document also applies.

Kunststoffe - Membranen aus weichmacherhaltigem Polyvinylchlorid (PVC–P) für erdverlegte Schwimmbäder - Teil 1: Homogene Membranen mit einer Nenndicke von mindestens 0,75 mm

Dieses Dokument legt die optischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften sowie die Maß- und Beständigkeitseigenschaften
von homogenen Membranen aus weichmacherhaltigem Polyvinylchlorid (PVC-P) mit einer
Nenndicke von mindestens 0,75 mm fest, die als Abdichtung für erdverlegte Schwimmbäder eingesetzt
werden. Weiterhin legt es die Beschaffenheitsmerkmale des für die Herstellung der Membranen verwendeten
PVC-P fest.
Es gilt besonders für homogene Membranen, die für den Einsatz in Schwimmbädern mit einer Wassertemperatur
kleiner gleich 28 °C vorgesehen sind. Dieses Dokument gilt auch, wenn der Membranhersteller eine
Wassertemperatur, die über 28 °C fortlaufend aufrechterhalten wird, zulässt.

Plastiques - Membranes en poly(chlorure de vinyle) plastifié (PVC-P) pour piscines enterrées - Partie 1: Membranes homogènes d'épaisseur nominale supérieure ou égale à 0,75 mm

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les caractéristiques visuelles, dimensionnelles, mécaniques et de
durabilité des membranes homogènes en poly(chlorure de vinyle) plastifié (PVC-P), d’épaisseur nominale
supérieure ou égale à 0,75 mm, destinées à confectionner des liners pour piscines enterrées. Il spécifie
également les caractéristiques des compositions de PVC-P utilisées pour la production des membranes.
Il s’applique uniquement aux membranes homogènes destinées aux piscines où la température de l'eau est
inférieure ou égale à 28 °C. Si le fabricant de membranes permet une température d’eau constamment
maintenue au dessus de 28 °C, le présent document s’applique également.

Polimerni materiali - Nemehčane poli(vinil klorid) (PVC-P) membrane za vgradne bazene - 1. del: Homogene membrane z nominalno debelino, enako ali večjo od 0,75 mm

Ta evropski standard določa vizualne lastnosti, mere, mehanske lastnosti in trajnost nemehčanih polivinilkloridnih (PVC-P) homogenih membran z nominalno debelino, večjo ali enako 0,75 mm, ki se uporabljajo kot obloge v vgradnih bazenih. Določa tudi značilnosti sestave polivinilklorida (PVC-P), ki se uporablja za izdelavo membran. Velja izrecno za homogene membrane, namenjene za uporabo v bazenih s temperaturo vode, ki je manjša ali enaka 28 °C. Če proizvajalec membrane dovoljuje temperaturo vode, ki je stalno višja od 28 °C, ta dokument prav tako velja.
