Shutters and external venetian blinds - Performance requirements including safety
This European Standard specifies the performance requirements for shutters and external venetian blinds intended to be fitted externally to buildings and other construction works. It deals also with the significant hazards for assembly, transport, installation, operation and maintenance (see list of significant machine hazards in Annex C).
It applies to all shutters and external venetian blinds whatever their use and nature of the materials used, as follows and defined in EN 12216:
- external venetian blind, roller shutter, wing shutter, Venetian shutter, flat-closing concertina shutter, concertina shutter or sliding panel shutter, with or without a system of projection.
These products can be operated manually with or without compensating spring, or by means of electric motors (power operated products). However, the durability and endurance of the autonomous supply for power operated shutters and external venetian blinds not connected to the mains supply are not covered.
This European Standard deals also with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events when shutters and external venetian blinds are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex D).
This European Standard covers shutters and external venetian blinds mounted externally. In case such products are installed internally, they should fulfil all relevant safety requirements defined in EN 13120.
The noise emission of power operated shutters and external venetian blinds is not considered to be a relevant hazard health and safety requirements. Therefore this European Standard does not contain any specific requirements on noise health and safety objective.
Abschlüsse außen und Außenjalousien - Leistungs- und Sicherheitsanforderungen
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Leistungsanforderungen für Abschlüsse außen und Außenjalousienfest, die zur äußeren Befestigung an Gebäude und anderen baulichen Anlagen vorgesehen sind. Sie behandelt auch wesentliche Gefährdungen für Zusammenbau, Transport, Einbau, Bedienung und Instandhaltung (siehe Liste der signifikanten Gefährdungen in Anhang C).
Die Norm gilt für alle Abschlüsse außen und Außenjalousien, unabhängig von ihrem Gebrauch und der Art der verwendeten Werkstoffe wie folgt und wie in EN 12216 festgelegt:
- Außenjalousie, Rollladen, Drehladen, Faltladen ungeführt, Faltladen geführt (flach geschlossen), Falt¬laden geführt (Akkordeon) oder Schiebeladen, mit oder ohne eine Ausstellvorrichtung.
Diese Produkte können manuell bedient werden, mit oder ohne Ausgleichsfedern, oder mithilfe von Elektromotoren (kraftbetätigte Produkte). Dennoch werden Haltbarkeit und Lebensdauer der eigenständigen Stromversorgung kraftbetätigter Abschlüsse außen und Außenjalousien, die nicht mit der Hauptstrom¬versorgung verbunden sind, nicht behandelt.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt zugleich wesentliche Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Gefährdungsereignisse, wenn die äußeren Abschlüsse und Markisen wie vorgesehen verwendet werden und unter den Bedingungen eines unsachgemäßen Gebrauchs, die durch den Hersteller vernünftigerweise vorhersehbar sind (siehe Anhang B).
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt Abschlüsse und Jalousien, die an der Außenseite montiert sind. In Fällen, in denen diese Produkte an der Innenseite montiert sind, sollten sie sämtliche in EN 13120 festgelegten Sicherheits¬anforderungen erfüllen.
Die Geräuschemission von kraftbetätigten Abschlüssen und Außenjalousien wird nach den Sicherheits- und Gesundheitsanforderungen für Maschinen nicht als maßgebliche Gefährdung angesehen. Aus diesem Grund enthält diese Europäische Norm keine spezifischen Anforderungen bezüglich sicherheits- und gesundheits-bezogener Geräuschvorgaben.
Fermetures et stores vénitiens extérieurs - Exigences de performance y compris la sécurité
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences de performance applicables aux fermetures et stores vénitiens extérieurs destinés à être installés en extérieur sur des bâtiments et autres ouvrages de construction. Elle traite également des phénomènes dangereux significatifs relatifs aux opérations d’assemblage, de transport, d’installation, d’utilisation et de maintenance (voir liste des phénomènes dangereux significatifs liés aux machines à l’Annexe C).
Elle s'applique à toutes les fermetures et à tous les stores vénitiens extérieurs, dont la liste est donnée ci-après, quelles que soient leur conception et la nature des matériaux utilisés, et qui sont définis dans l’EN 12216 :
- store vénitien extérieur, volet roulant, volet battant, persienne, persienne coulissante, jalousie accordéon ou volet coulissant, projetables ou non projetables.
Ces produits peuvent être manœuvrés manuellement avec ou sans ressort de compensation ou au moyen de moteurs électriques (produits motorisés). Néanmoins, la durabilité et l’endurance de l’alimentation autonome des fermetures et stores vénitiens extérieurs non reliée à l’alimentation secteur ne sont pas couvertes.
La présente Norme européenne couvre également tous les phénomènes, situations et événements dangereux rencontrés lorsque les fermetures et stores vénitiens extérieurs sont utilisés selon leur usage prévu mais aussi ceux rencontrés lors de fausses manœuvres que le fabricant peut raisonnablement anticiper (voir Annexe D).
La présente Norme européenne couvre les fermetures et stores vénitiens extérieurs installés en extérieur. Si ces produits sont installés en intérieur, il convient qu’ils satisfassent à toutes les exigences de sécurité pertinentes définies dans l’EN 13120.
Le bruit émis par les fermetures et stores vénitiens extérieurs motorisés n’est pas considéré comme un phénomène dangereux devant satisfaire aux exigences en matière de santé et de sécurité. Par conséquent, la présente Norme européenne ne contient aucune exigence particulière applicable au bruit établissant des objectifs en matière de santé et de sécurité.

x pN with
= 1,5: — Nominal wind pressure pN: it represents the wind pressure under which the shutter shall not sustain deformation or deterioration detrimental to its correct operation. — Safety wind pressure pS: it represents the wind pressure under which no deterioration which may be dangerous for the persons shall be observed (breakage, coming out from the fixing or locking devices). When tested according to EN 1932, the wind resistance class of shutters shall be given according to Table 1. Table 1 — Classes of wind resistance
Classes
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Nominal pressure pN (N/m2) < 50 50 70 100 170 270 400 Safety pressure pS = 1,5 pN (N/m2) < 75 75 100 150 250 400 600 NOTE 1 The application of a static pressure over the shutter gives the classification shown in Table 1. It provides an accurate measurement of the intrinsic resistance of a shutter but does not consider the dynamic behaviour of such a shutter in real wind conditions. Annex B gives the rule allowing the calculation of the wind speed from the static pressure for which the shutter has been classified. This calculation rule considers the coefficient Cp of the shutter, i.e. the algebraic difference between the external pressure coefficient Cpe and the internal pressure coefficient Cpi. The coefficient Cp is mainly depending on the air permeability of the shutter. NOTE 2 EN 1932 states that “the tests shall be carried out with the maximum dimensions defined by the manufacturer in the most unfavourable configuration for each product type. The test results obtained can then be applied to all more SIST EN 13659:2015
x pN with
= 1,5, the shutter shall not break or exit from the guide rails. 4.3.4 Expression of the results The results shall be expressed as follows: a) if the shutter resists itself the snow pressure: 1) the manufacturer shall declare: i) the maximum nominal snow pressure pN expressed in N/m2; ii) the following form of resistance: shutter alone; 2) shutters of the same range which are narrower and for which the curtain surface is lower than the product tested shall be deemed to resist at least the same snow pressure pN than the product tested. b) if the shutter resists the snow pressure with the mechanical association of the glazing: 1) the manufacturer shall declare: i) the maximum nominal snow pressure pN expressed in N/m2; ii) the following form of resistance: shutter in association with a glazing which withstands pressure pN and located at the maximum distance d from the shutter; 2) shutters of the same range with a width and a height higher than those of the product tested shall be deemed to resist at least the same snow pressure pN at the condition that the distance from the glazing remains the same. 4.3.5 Classes of snow resistance No classes are defined for snow resistance. For each dimension, the manufacturer shall specify the maximum snow pressure the shutter can sustain, by itself or in mechanical association with a closed window. 4.4 Operating effort 4.4.1 General This clause does not apply to power operated products. The effort Fc needed to extend /retract the curtain, to tilt the laths and eventually to project the curtain depends on the type of operation. SIST EN 13659:2015

Misuse operations are related to the displacement of the curtain, the tilting of the laths and, for projected products, to the projection of the curtain. 4.6.1.2 Displacement of the curtain — Rough operation Rough operation occurs during extension and retraction. — Forced operation Forced operation occurs in the direction of extension and retraction, the curtain being either stopped or blocked in extended or retracted position, or blocked in an intermediate position. Figure 3 illustrates the six possibilities of forced operations. SIST EN 13659:2015
Key 1 direction of extension 2 direction of retraction 3 obstruction a) curtain fully extended b) curtain fully retracted c) curtain in intermediate position, obstructed during extension and/or retraction Figure 3 — Illustration of the six possibilities of forced operation — Reversed operation Reversed operations are only applicable to roller shutters or to products using a rolling mechanism for extension or retraction. For these products, operation in situation a1 or b2 illustrated in Figure 3 is a reversed operation when the movement in the opposite direction is possible with an effort less than the limit of the class of operation. If the movement is not possible, it is a forced operation. Reversed operation occurs on extension with the curtain fully extended and on retraction with the curtain fully retracted. 4.6.1.3 Tilting of laths — Rough operation Rough operation is not possible, the conditions defining its occurrence are not likely to occur (no excessive speed, no inertia of laths). — Forced operation Forced operation occurs in both closed positions which are the result of tilting the laths in both directions from the open position. — Reversed operation Not applicable.
