28.0 Referenced Documents

The following documents are referred to in this standard:

29. Definitions
    As per AS3715 – 2002:
    0 Significant Surface:
    That part of the surface which is required to be covered by the coating, and which is essential to the appearance and serviceability of the item. The significant surface does not include edges, deep recesses, and secondary surfaces.
    29.1 Architectural Surface:
    A controlled finish of sustainability uniform appearance; buffing will not produce a die line-free finish unless a preliminary grinding or sanding operation is employed.
    Note: This finish is normally satisfactory for exposed surfaces of any architectural application and is applied to those surfaces of each shape nominated by the purchaser or proprietary systems supplier
    29.2 LUX:
    Measurement of luminous intensity from a light source equivalent to 500 LUX.

29.3 Significant Defect:
A significant defect is a defect which is visible from 2.0m and has an outside diameter from 2.5mm

29.4 Minor Defect:
A minor defect may be visible from 2.0m and has an outside diameter of up to and including 2.5mm

29.5 Possible Defects:
Possible defects that may be seen in situ include inclusions (foreign particles in the powder), contamination (different color powder in the surface finish), excessive roughness, craters, dull spots, scratches, scuffing or any other unacceptable flaws.

30. Visual Inspection Conditions
    For all viewing situations a minimum of 2.0 meters shall apply provided that further distance be allowed commensurate with the use of the product and its in-situ viewing distances.

31. Surface Classification
    All extruded aluminum profiles shall be classified according to the importance of the visibly seen surfaces.

The Primary or A surface shall be deemed the significant surface as defined in AS3715 – 2002.

The Secondary or B surface shall be defined as surfaces normally only seen when a window or door is open (e.g., inside the glazing pocket of the window frame when a sash window is open).

The Non-Visual or C surface shall be defined as surfaces unseen when the window or door is installed

32. Appearance Standard
    When viewed as per conditions listed in section 26.3:

A Surface: (Primary Surface)
From 2.0 meters the coating on the primary internal & external surfaces shall be of uniform appearance,
color, and texture, and be free from significant defects, but may contain 2 minor defects (as defined in
section 29.4) for every 1 meter of extruded length of aluminum profile.

B Surface: (Secondary Surface)
Secondary surfaces are checked for acceptable powder coat coverage and are free from significant
defects but may contain several minor defects. The coating requirement for secondary surfaces is for a
light coverage only where possible. It is not possible to specify a required powder thickness in these
areas and no guarantee of powder coverage shall be provided.

C Surface: (Non-Visual Surface)
These are non-visual surfaces for which there is no standard or requirements.
