Airtight shutters - Air permeability test
This European Standard specifies a test method for determining the air permeability of shutters that claim to conform to class 5 of thermal resistance "airtight shutters" according to standards prEN ISO 10077-1:1999 and prEN 13125:1998, when allocation cannot be given by geometrical criteria.
Luftdichte Abschlüsse - Prüfung der Luftdurchlässigkeit
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Luftdurchlässigkeit von Abschlüssen fest, die der Klasse 5 des Wärmedurchlasswiderstandes "luftdichter" Abschlüsse angehören entsprechend prEN ISO 10077-1:1999 und prEN 13125:1998, wenn die Zuordnung nicht durch geometrische Kriterien erfolgen kann.
Fermetures étanches - Essai de perméabilité à l'air
La présente norme prescrit une méthode d'essai de la perméabilité à l'air des fermetures qui veulent se prévaloir de la classe 5 de résistance thermique Fermetures "étanches", au sens des normes prEN ISO 10077-1:1999 et prEN 13125:1998, lorsque la justification ne peut être apportée par des critères géométriques.

Overview
EN 12835:2000 is a CEN European Standard that specifies a test method for determining the air permeability of airtight shutters. It applies to shutters that claim to conform to class 5 thermal resistance ("airtight shutters") as referenced in prEN ISO 10077-1:1999 and prEN 13125:1998, specifically in cases where classification cannot be assigned by simple geometrical criteria. The standard was adopted nationally in Slovenia as SIST EN 12835:2001.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability
- Defines when the test method must be used (shutters declaring class 5 thermal resistance and where geometry-based allocation is not possible).
- Test method
- Establishes procedures and requirements for measuring air permeability of shutter assemblies.
- Sample preparation and conditioning
- Describes the necessary preparation of shutter specimens prior to testing (conditioning, mounting, and sealing considerations).
- Measurement and reporting
- Specifies how air leakage measurements are obtained and how results are reported to determine conformity with the airtightness claim.
- Classification linkage
- Connects test outcomes to the class 5 airtightness claim as referenced in related thermal-resistance standards.
(Note: EN 12835 sets procedural and reporting requirements; specific numerical test parameters or test-pressure values should be taken from the official standard text.)
Applications
- Manufacturers - verify and document the airtightness performance of shutter products during product development and production quality control.
- Test laboratories - use the standardized method to perform repeatable air permeability tests for certification and independent verification.
- Certification bodies & regulators - assess conformity with thermal-resistance and airtightness claims required by building codes or energy-efficiency programs.
- Architects and building envelope engineers - reference verified airtightness data when specifying shutters for energy-efficient or airtight building designs.
- Procurement and quality assurance - include EN 12835 test requirements in specifications to ensure delivered shutters meet declared airtightness performance.
