This draft European Standard is submitted to CEN members for enquiry. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee
CEN/TC 33.
If this draft becomes a European Standard, CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations
which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.

This draft European Standard was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC
Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and
United Kingdom.
Recipients of this draft are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of any relevant patent rights of which they are
aware and to provide supporting documentation.

Warning : This document is not a European Standard. It is distributed for review and comments. It is subject to change without
notice and shall not be referred to as a European Standard.

European foreword
This document (prEN 12489:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 33 “Doors,
windows, shutters, building hardware and curtain walling”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 12489:2000.
Compared with EN 12489:2000, the following changes have been made:
— normative references were updated;
— references to the classification standard EN 12425:2000 were deleted as the classification of the
characteristic water tightness has been transferred to prEN 13241:2020, and references to
prEN 13241:2020 have been added accordingly.
This document is one of a series of test standards identified within the product standard
prEN 13421:2020.
European standards as well as relevant national regulations and standards will enable the actual
exposure levels to be determined for the individual locations of the products.
As during the revision of this document the test procedures haven’t been changed, existing test results
remain valid (historical data).

1 Scope
This document specifies the test method for determining the resistance to water penetration for
industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates according prEN 13241:2020 in a closed position.
For the purposes of this document the term ‘door’ is used as a general term for ‘industrial, commercial
and garage doors and gates’ unless clearly stated.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 12433-1 and EN 12433-2 and
the following apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

3.1
resistance to water penetration
ability of the test specimen, when in closed position, to resist water penetration under specified test
conditions
3.2
water penetration
continuous or repeated wetting of the internal surface of the test specimen or parts which are not
designed to be wetted
4 Principle of test
Constant spraying of a specified quantity of water onto the external surface of the test specimen while
increments of positive test pressure are applied at regular intervals. Details shall be recorded for test
pressure and location of water penetration.
5 Apparatus
The basic test apparatus shall include:
a) an opening to which the test specimen can be fitted, to simulate the structure of the product on site;
b) device(s) to provide controlled air pressure, above atmospheric air pressure, to the exposed
surface of the specimen, enabling rapid changes of air pressure, controlled between defined limits;
c) device(s) to measure the amount of supplied water to an accuracy of ± 10 %. If several rows of
nozzles with different flows are set up, at least two are necessary;
d) device(s) for measuring air pressure with an accuracy of ± 5 %;
e) a spraying system capable of applying a continuous regularly dispersed film of water all over the
surface likely to be wetted in real exposure conditions by means of full circular nozzles according to
