What is BS EN 16153 - Requirements for light-transmitting flat multiwall polycarbonate sheets about?
BS EN 16153 discusses light-transmitting flat multiwall polycarbonate (PC) sheets for internal and external use in roofs, walls, and ceilings. Flat multiwall polycarbonate sheets are manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate resin, thus making them very strong and durable. BS EN 16153 specifies the requirements for light-transmitting flat multiwall polycarbonate (PC) sheets for internal and external use in walls, roofs, and ceilings.
BS EN 16153 to light-transmitting flat extruded multiwall PC sheets with or without functional layers (e.g., coating, co-extruded layer) made from PC-based or other materials, without filling materials. It also specifies the test methods needed for the evaluation of conformity and marking of the sheets.
Who is BS EN 16153 - Requirements for light-transmitting flat multiwall polycarbonate sheets for?
BS EN 16153 on the requirements for light-transmitting flat multiwall polycarbonate sheets is useful for:
- Polycarbonate sheets manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 16153 - Requirements for light-transmitting flat multiwall polycarbonate sheets?
Polycarbonate sheets have the property of reflecting heat and transmitting light. BS EN 16153 describes the requirements for light-transmitting flat multiwall PC sheets for internal and external use in walls, roofs, and ceilings. BS EN 16153 is applicable to the sheets for delivery only. Reference should be made to national regulations and manufacturer's literature for requirements concerning the design, storage, and fundamental guidance for the installation of sheets, including all safety aspects. The durability is assessed when subject to regulatory requirements.
The durability of the sheets is demonstrated by testing after artificial ageing the variation of the yellowness index and the light transmittance with the same level of radiant exposure in the total daylight and declaring the results according to BS EN 16153. The measurements are carried out at an ambient temperature of (20 ± 5) °C. In case of dispute, the measurements are made using standard atmosphere 23/50, Class 2, according to EN ISO 291. For measurements made under ambient conditions, the due allowance shall be made for dimensional changes due to the differences in temperature and relative humidity between test locations. Using BS EN 16153 you can specify the requirements for light-transmitting flat multiwall polycarbonate sheets for internal and external use in walls, roofs, and ceilings.
