4 Classification
4.1 General
Hardware for Lift and Slide windows and door height windows shall be classified in accordance with
the four box coding system (see Table 1).
Table 1 — Classification system of hardware
Box 1 2 3 4
Durability Mass Corrosion resistance Test sizes

4.2 Durability (1 – first box)
The first box shall display the grade applied to the durability test in accordance with 5.3:
— grade H1:  5 000;
— grade H2: 10 000;
— grade H3: 20 000.
4.3 Mass (2 – second box)
The second box shall display the maximum tested sash-mass (weight).
The mass range starts from 50 kg and varies in steps of 10 kg. An unlimited number of grades are
identified, whereby 050 is the lowest (see Table 2).
Table 2 — Tested sash-mass
Grade 050 060 070 080 090 100 110 120 130 …
Mass (kg) 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 …

4.4 Corrosion resistance (3 – third box)
The third box shall display the grade regarding corrosion resistance in accordance with 5.4.
4.5 Test sizes (4 – fourth box)
The fourth box shall display the test sizes (active sash) which were used for testing the hardware for
Lift and Slide windows and door height windows as follows:
SW (= sash width) in mm / SH (=sash height) in mm – tolerance ± 10 mm.
— 1 440 mm SW / 2 400 mm SH
The stated 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 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. This shall be reflected in the appropriate product documentation.
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 SW (or SH) as specified by
the hardware manufacturers appropriate documentation and a SH (or SW) in a ratio of 2 400/1 440
(factor approximately 1,67).
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 SW or SH in accordance with the manufacturer's
documentation and using a SH to SW ratio of 2 400/1 440 (factor approximately 1,67).
EXAMPLE 1 largest possible SW = 800 mm = SW of the test specimen
SH = 800 mm × 2 400/1 440 = 1 333 mm = SH of the test specimen
EXAMPLE 2 largest possible SH = 1 600 mm = SH of the test specimen
SW = 1 600 mm × 1 440/2 400 = 960 mm = SW of the test specimen
The missing dimensions in each case (SH or SW) should be calculated in accordance with example 1 or
example 2 with the objective of establishing the maximum test-format, which lies within the hardware
manufacturers application range.
4.6 Example of classification
a) Alternative 1: Table with boxes
1 2 3 4
EN 13126-16:YYYY H2 250 3 1 440/2 400

In accordance with Clause 8 the information regarding the classification by using a table with boxes
shall always be shown together with the number of this standard EN 13126-16.
b) Alternative 2: Alphanumerical
EN 13126-16:YYYY H2-250-3-1 440/2 400
This denotes hardware for Lift and Slide windows and door height windows, which have:
box 1 durability grade H2 (10 000 cycles)
box 2 mass 250 kg
box 3 corrosion resistance grade 3
box 4 test sizes SW = 1 440 mm / SH = 2 400 mm
5 Requirements
5.1 Dangerous substances
Materials in products should not release any dangerous substances in excess of the maximum levels
specified in the European material standards and any National regulations.
5.2 Additional requirements
5.2.1 Handle operation tolerance
The maximum torque T which is the result of a force of 100 N applied at a distance of 20 mm from the
h,
end point of the handle, shall not be exceeded during the normal operation of the hardware.
The length of the handle used during the test or the length of the handle intended for the hardware set
shown in the hardware manufacturer’s documentation shall be recorded in the test report.
The torque T resulting from the operative length of the used handle (key l in Figure 1) and the force
h 2
of 100 N shall be calculated and recorded in the test report.
EXAMPLE
length of the handle = 250 mm
operative length (key l in Figure 1) = 250 mm – 20 mm = 230 mm
torque T = operative length × force F = 230 mm × 100 N = 23 Nm

5.2.2 Sliding operation crash-tests
After the sliding operation crash test in accordance with 7.4.1 and 7.4.2:
— active sash shall not drop and shall still be constrained by its fixings;
— active sash shall function correctly.
After the sliding operation crash-test all adjustment possibilities may be used to operate the sash.
5.2.3 Minimum closing device resistance
5.2.3.1 Hardware without tilt function
The closing device shall withstand a torque T , which is the threefold torque T as calculated and
hr h
recorded in accordance with 5.2.1.
EXAMPLE length of the handle (key l in Figure 1) = 220 mm
operative length (key l in Figure 1) = 220 mm – 20 mm = 200 mm
torque T = operative length × force F = 200 mm × 100 N = 20 Nm

torque T = 3 × T = 3 × 20 Nm = 60 Nm

Hardware with tilt function without positive control should also conform to this requirement.
Upon completion of the test in accordance with 7.5.1, the closing device shall operate.
5.2.3.2 Hardware with tilt function and with positive control
The hardware shall withstand a torque T , which is the threefold torque T as calculate
