Overview
EN 12365-1:2003 (CEN) specifies the performance requirements and classification for gaskets and weatherstripping used to control passage of air, water, noise and energy between openable and fixed parts of doors, windows, shutters and curtain walling. This Part 1 defines general requirements and a six-digit coding system; related test methods are given in Parts 2–4.
Key practical points:
- Applicable to gaskets and weatherstripping of all materials (but not to sealants, mastics or putties).
- Defines minimum performance characteristics needed for use in building components and fenestration.
- Requires clear labelling and packaging to prevent distortion during transport and storage.
Key Topics
Scope and applicability: Material-agnostic performance criteria for gasket and weatherstripping products intended for doors, windows, shutters and curtain walling. Excludes in-situ extruded sealants and viscous mastics.
Classification (six-digit code): Products are classified using a six-digit coding system that covers:
- Category of use (G = gasket, W = weatherstripping)
- Working range (compression or deflection span)
- Linear compression force (force to deflect to maximum working range)
- Working temperature range
- Deflection recovery (percentage recovery after compression)
- Recovery after ageing (long-term recovery after accelerated ageing)
The coding system enables specifiers and manufacturers to communicate performance at a glance (examples in the Standard illustrate typical coding use).
General requirements: Gaskets and weatherstripping must complement product tolerances, be chemically and physically compatible with contact surfaces, and sustain mechanical stresses during normal operation. Supplier and user should agree on application-specific requirements such as operating forces and frequency of use.
Test methods and references: Performance requirements in Part 1 are assessed using the test methods given in EN 12365-2 (linear compression force), EN 12365-3 (deflection recovery) and EN 12365-4 (recovery after accelerated ageing).
Applications
- Selection and specification of sealing profiles for exterior and interior windows, doors, shutters and curtain walling.
- Product development and quality control for manufacturers of profiles and weatherseals.
- Contractual documentation between suppliers and building product manufacturers to ensure fit-for-purpose sealing performance (air/water tightness, acoustic and thermal performance related to seal integrity).
Related Standards
- EN 12365-2: Linear compression force test method
- EN 12365-3: Deflection recovery test method
- EN 12365-4: Recovery after accelerated ageing test method
- prEN 12519:2003 (Terminology for windows and doors)
Takeaway: EN 12365-1:2003 provides a standardized framework to classify and specify gasket and weatherstripping performance, linking practical application needs to measurable test methods and clear labelling for reliable, durable seals in building fenestration.
