Foreword
This document has been prepared by CEN /TC 249, "Plastics".
This document is currently submitted to the Formal Vote.
EN 13706 consists of the following parts, under the general title Reinforced plastics composites - Specifications for
pultruded profiles.
Part 1 : Designation
Part 2 : Methods of tests and general requirements
Part 3 : Specific requirements
Annexes A to E of Part 2 are normative and Annexes F and G are informative.
prEN 13706-3:2001 (E)
Scope
1.1 This Part 3 of EN 13706 defines the specification of pultruded profiles. The specification defines those
properties, which shall be specified and the level to be obtained for each grade of profile.
1.2 The specification defines grades where the short-form code, Exx, is related to the Effective Flexural Modulus
of the profile measured by testing a length of the full section.
Two grades; E23 and E17 are defined.
NOTE
Other grades may be introduced at future revisions of the standard.
1.3 The properties, that shall be achieved for each class of profile are given in Table 1. Other properties that may
be reported are listed in Table 2.
1.4 Test methods to be used to show properties related to the suitability of the profile for specific applications are
referenced in clause 4.
Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies.

Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given clause 3 of EN 13706-2 apply.

4.1
Specification
Obligatory specified properties
For each grade of pultrusion profile manufactured in accordance with this specification the manufacture shall meet
the requirements for all the properties included in Table 1.
Measurement of the property requirement 1.1 in Table 1 is undertaken on a test length of the full section of the
profile but is not applicable to solid, flat sections. Measurement of the property requirements in 1.2 to 1.10 in
Table are undertaken using coupons cut from the profile or from a test plate prepared according to clause 6 of
EN 13706-2.
4.2
Other properties which may be reported
Other properties of the profile, which may be reported but are not required to be specifically controlled are given in
Table 2.
4.3
Specific performance properties
Pultruded profiles under this specification may be required to meet specific performance criteria. Unless otherwise
specified, the test methods given in Table F.1 to F.4 in Annex F of EN 13706-2 are recommended. Annex G of
EN 13706-2 allows flexural, shear and torsion data to be obtained for the full profile.
4.4
Other requirements
Profiles manufactured according to this specification shall comply fully with clause 4 of EN 13706-2.
