Overview
EN 13049:2023 - Windows and doors: Soft and heavy body impact - Test method, safety requirements and classification is a CEN standard that defines how to test complete windows and pedestrian doorsets for impact from soft and heavy bodies. The standard assesses the interaction of all components (frames, sashes, infill materials including glass, hardware and glazing retainers) with emphasis on safety in use and the ability of a doorset to keep glazed parts in place. It applies to all infill materials but does not classify glass strength (see EN 12600).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and specimens: Applies to complete windows and pedestrian doorsets, including secondary sashes, mullions, transoms and fixed lights when mounted internally to the main unit.
- Apparatus: Uses a rigid subframe and an impactor specified in EN 12600; suitable mounting, wires, pulleys and height-adjusting devices are required.
- Conditioning: Test specimens must be conditioned 4 hours at +10 °C to +30 °C and 25 % to 75 % relative humidity before testing.
- Pre-test operations: Operable parts are cycled five times immediately before impact.
- Impact procedure: One impact per specimen (additional impacts only if client agrees); choose the most unfavourable impact point (centre, corners, glazing bars, rails, mullions, etc.). Impactor is released from a defined drop height and strikes perpendicular to the target; drop height accuracy ±10 mm.
- Classification levels: Six classes (0–5) with specified drop heights: 0 = 100 mm, 1 = 200 mm, 2 = 300 mm, 3 = 450 mm, 4 = 700 mm, 5 = 950 mm.
- Pass criteria:
- No opening that allows the ellipsoid template E2 (EN 1630:2021) to pass.
- No dangerous detachment (sharp/pointed edges) of casements, sashes, leaves, hardware or glazing retainers.
- Any single dislodged part ≤ 50 g.
- Reporting: Test report must identify the specimen, test parameters, drawings (including fixing details), environmental conditions, impact points, drop height, observed damage and final classification.
Applications
- Manufacturers of windows, glazed pedestrian doorsets and hardware use EN 13049:2023 to validate safety performance and product development.
- Test laboratories perform standardized impact tests and produce classification reports for CE marking, specifications or compliance.
- Specifiers, architects and façade engineers use the classification to select safe products for public buildings, schools, hospitals and high-traffic areas.
- Regulators and certification bodies reference the standard for safety assessments and performance documentation.
