"This specification deals with rigid poly vinyl-chloride (PVC) exterior profiles used for agricultural, commercial, residential fencing and railing. The material used in these exterior profiles is limited to rigid poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) compounds in a single homogeneous extrusion or in a coextrusion of two or more PVC compounds in distinct layers. "Loadbearing characteristics for fence and railing assemblies are not addressed within this specification (for example, windload, horizontal or vertical guardrail loading). Materials shall be tested and shall conform to requirements for the material properties and physical properties, including dimensional tolerances, extrusion quality, and weatherability. Methods for testing and for identifying exterior profile extrusions, such as impact resistance, warp, dimensional stability, and impact test on weathered specimen that comply with this specification are also provided." (As most know, the Vinyl Manufacturers Association, a division of the American Fence Association, is the new name of the former Vinyl Fence, Deck and Railing Manufacturers Association.)

The standard is now titled F964-13. "There are a number of changes made to the document that strengthen it and make it more relevant to our industry," Williams said in the newsletter. "A couple of the changes include a new definition and specification for longitudinal bow, and more specific parameters on accelerated weather testing." For further information on the standard, interested parties should contact Stan Hathorn, steering committee member-at-large. He may be reached at shathorn@homelandvinyl.com.
