BS EN 514:2000

BS EN 514:2000

National foreword
This British Standard is the official English language version of EN 514:2000, which
is included in a package of new European Standards being prepared by CEN/TC 33
relating to PVC-U profiles for windows and doors. Other standards included in the
package are ENs 477, 478, 479, 513 and 12608. Although the English text versions of
these European Standards will be adopted as British Standards as they become
available, the existing British Standards for PVC-U profiles will be retained, but only
until such time that the complete package of European Standards becomes
available. The original group of British Standards will then be withdrawn and this
will be notified in BSI Standards Update. This British Standard will supersede
BS 7413:1991.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee
B/538, Doors, windows, shutters, hardware and curtain walling, to Subcommittee
B/538/1, Windows, which has the responsibility to:
Ð aid enquirers to understand the text;
Ð present to the responsible European committee any enquiries on the
interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed;
Ð monitor related international and European developments and promulgate
them in the UK.

A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request
to its secretary.
Cross-references

referred to in this document may be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the

contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
