scope:

This Standard specifies requirements and test methods of gutters and fittings made from PVC-U, intended to be used for rainwater drainage. This standard defines product requirements, derived from performance requirements established for various applications and is supported by separate standards for specific and common test methods in the framework of respective material standards. The performance of a gutter and drainage system made with these products depends, not only on the properties of the products as they are defined by this standard, but also upon the quality of their design and manufacture. The design, construction and behaviour of the relevant parts of the building also have an effect upon the performance of the system.
