Building hardware - Hardware for windows and door height windows - Requirements and test methods - Part 5: Devices that restrict the opening of windows and door height windows
This part of EN 13126 specifies requirements and test methods for durability, strength, security and functionality of devices that restrict the opening of windows and door height windows.
NOTE 1 Restrictors and reverse restrictors can be either a separate item of hardware or an integral part of hardware, for example a part of the operating gear or an integral part of a hinge.
NOTE 2 Windows may be fitted with more than one restrictor.
NOTE 3 The requirements included within this standard take the needs for child safety into consideration, child protective window restrictors intended to be installed by the end consumers are beyond the scope of this standard. Therefore for the DIY market refer to PC398.

La présente partie du prEN 13126 spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d’essai relatives à l’endurance, à la résistance, à la sécurité des biens et aux fonctionnalités des dispositifs limiteurs d’ouverture des fenêtres et des portes-fenêtres.
NOTE 1 Les limiteurs et les limiteurs réversibles peuvent soit être des éléments individuels de quincaillerie, soit faire partie intégrante de la quincaillerie, par exemple une partie du mécanisme de manoeuvre ou une partie intégrante de la paumelle.
NOTE 2 Les fenêtres peuvent être munies de plusieurs limiteurs.
NOTE 3 Les exigences incluses dans la présente norme tiennent compte des besoins liés à la sécurité des enfants ; les limiteurs de fenêtre de sécurité pour enfant destinés à être installés par le consommateur final sont en dehors du domaine d’application de la présente norme. Par conséquent, pour le marché DIY faire référence au PC 398 et au prEN 16281.
