1 Scope
This document specifies requirements and test methods for durability, strength, security and function
of rollers for horizontal sliding and hardware for inward or outward sliding folding windows and door
height windows in accordance with common application as shown in Figures C.1 to C.7 in informative
Annex C. This document is applicable to rollers irrespective of whether they are adjustable or not and
irrespective of the method or type of fixing or if they are used independently, or in multiples or
combinations.
All components of the hardware (e.g. guide tracks, lateral guides, rails, hinges) used while testing the
rollers for sliding folding windows and door height windows (window types Q, R and S) are considered
to be part of the complete sliding folding hardware set.

4 Classification
4.1 General
Rollers for horizontal sliding and hardware for sliding folding windows and door height windows shall
be classified in accordance with the five box coding system (see Table 1).
Table 1 — Classification system of hardware
box 1 2 3 4 5
Corrosion Test
Durability Mass Application
resistance sizes
4.2 Durability (1 – first box)
The first box shall display the grade applied to the durability test in accordance with 5.2:
— grade H1:  5 000;
— grade H2: 10 000;
— grade H3: 20 000.
4.3 Mass (2 – second box)
The mass range starts from 30 kg and varies in steps of 10 kg. An unlimited number of grades are
identified, whereby 030 is the lowest (see Table 2).
Table 2 — Tested sash-mass
Grade 030 040 050 060 070 080 090 100 110 120 …
Mass (kg) 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 …

Rollers for use in horizontal sliding windows and door height windows (window type N) should be
tested with half of the maximum sash mass, as long as the hardware manufacturer specifies a minimum
of two rollers per sash. For example if the roller is specified by the hardware manufacturer for a
maximum sash mass of 40 kg, the roller should be tested with 40 kg / 2 = 20 kg in accordance with
7.3.1.
4.4 Corrosion resistance (3 – third box)
The third box shall display the grade regarding corrosion resistance in accordance with 5.5.
4.5 Test sizes (4 – fourth box)
The fourth box shall display the test sizes (active sash) which were used for testing the rollers for
1 2
horizontal sliding and hardware for sliding folding windows as follows: SRW in mm / SRH in mm –
tolerance ± 10 mm.
— no test size is required for this category (for window type N - grade 1 in fifth box);
— (SRW) 900 mm x (SRH) 1 900 mm (for window types Q, R and S –grade 2 and 3 in fifth box).
NOTE In most product designs of window type Q and R a smaller width is necessary for the second sash in
comparison to the first and the third one (see Figure B.1 to identify sash 2). In this case the width of the second
sash could be smaller than the defined 900 mm.
The specified sizes are test sizes only. They do not relate to the maximum or minimum sizes to which a
window may be fabricated.
The manufacturer shall ensure, in accordance with the appropriate product documentation, that with
the application of the tested hardware in window sizes deviating from the test sizes (smaller or larger),
the forces on the hardware do not exceed those during the durability test.

SRW = sash rebate width.
SRH = sash rebate height.
In the case of not being capable of manufacturing the specified test size due to the fact that the
hardware field of application is smaller than these specified test sizes, smaller test sizes shall be used. In
this case the window shall be tested in accordance with the largest possible SRW (or SRH) as specified
by the hardware manufacturers appropriate documentation and a SRH (or SRW) in a ratio of 1 900/900
(factor approximately 2,111).
This means that if the specified test sizes are larger than those which can be manufactured, the test
specimens shall be tested using the largest possible SRW or SRH in accordance with the manufacturer's
documentation and using a SRH to SRW ratio of 1 900/900 (factor approximately 2,111).
EXAMPLE 1 largest possible SRW = 700 mm = SRW of the test specimen
700 mm × 1 900/900 = 1 478 mm = SRH of the test specimen
EXAMPLE 2 largest possible SRH = 1 600 mm = SRH of the test specimen
1 600 mm × 900/1 900 = 758 mm = SRW of the test specimen
The missing dimensions in each case (SRH or SRW) should be calculated in accordance with example 1
or 2 with the objective of establishing the maximum test-format, which lies within the hardware
manufacturer's application range.
4.6 Application (5 – fifth box)
The fifth box shall display a number (grade) indicating the kind of hardware in accordance with the
foreseen application in the appropriate type of window.
— grade 1: for use on horizontal sliding windows and door height windows (type N);
— grade 2: for use on centre pivot sliding folding windows and door height windows (type Q);
— grade 3: for use on corner pivot sliding folding windows and door height windows (type R
and/or S).

In accordance with Clause 8 the information regarding the classification by using a table with boxes
shall always be shown together with the designation of EN 13126-16.
b) Alternative 2: Alphanumerical
EN 13126-15:YYYY H2-080-2-900/1 900-2

box 2 mass 80 kg;
box 3 corrosion resistance grade 2;
box 4 test sizes SRW = 900 mm / SRH = 1 900 mm;
