Scope This European Standard specifies test methods for the verification of the requirements relating to the protection from strangulation. This European Standard applies to all internal blinds as specified in EN 13120, insect screens as specified in EN 13561 and to blinds in sealed glazed units. These products may be operated manually, with or without compensating springs, or by means of electric motors (power operated products). Although at the time this standard has been published, no product standard exists for draperies, test methods specified in the present standard may be used for such products. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

All dimensions, masses and forces shall be considered with a maximum tolerance of ± 1 %. Although all figures show free-hanging loads to apply forces, other methods of achieving the same effect may be used. Unless otherwise specified, a pulley of 20 mm diameter shall be used to apply the loads. Annex A presents a flowchart summarizing tests to be carried out on internal blinds. The internal blinds shall be installed according to the manufacturer specification so that the installation, i.e. the test rig, the fixing, etc., has no influence on the results of tests. In the context of this standard, the term “cord(s)” used shall mean “cord(s), chain(s), ball-chain(s), tape(s) and similar”. The head probe shall have the dimensions and design specified in Figure 2
