Foreword
This document (prEN 13126-3:2010) 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 CEN/TS 13126-3:2004.

A full contribution to the preparation of this European Standard has been made by the European
manufacturers´ organization ‘ARGE’ and national standards bodies.

This European Standard is one of a series of European Standards for building hardware products. It is
divided into several parts incorporating all types of hardware for windows and balcony doors.

The performance tests incorporated in this standard are considered to be reproducible and as such will
provide a consistent and objective assessment of the performance of these products throughout CEN
Member States.

1 Scope
This part of EN 13126 specifies the requirements and test procedures for durability, strength, security and
functionality of handles.
This European Standard is applicable to Tilt&Turn, Tilt-First and Turn-Only hardware for use on windows and
door-height windows.
Handles may also be used on other opening types, e.g. on In-line Sliding, Tilt&Slide, Fold&Slide, horizontal
and vertical-pivoting windows.
This European Standard is not applicable to the following hardware:
a) Operation devices and door handles for door latches and door locks; → refer to EN 1906
b) Handles with handle length > 170 mm (refer to figure B.1)
c) Electromechanical hardware.
2 Normative references

references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
