Overview
EN 13126-11:2025 - Building hardware - Hardware for windows and door-height windows - Part 11: Top hung projecting reversible hardware (CEN) defines requirements and test methods for top hung projecting reversible hardware used on windows and door-height windows. The standard covers durability, mechanical strength, security and functional performance for hardware that allows a sash to open outward and be reversed for cleaning, whether or not fitted with integral restrictors (restrictors are tested per EN 13126-5).
Key Topics
- Scope & applicability: Applies to top hung projecting reversible hinge systems, top gliders, pivot retainers and related components fitted to window sashes and frames.
- Four-box classification: Products are classified with four boxes showing Durability, Mass, Corrosion resistance, and Test sizes (SRW × SRH).
- Durability grades: H1 = 5 000 cycles, H2 = 10 000 cycles, H3 = 20 000 cycles.
- Mass grades: start at 030 (30 kg) and increase in 10 kg steps (040, 050, …).
- Corrosion: evaluated against EN 1670; minimum requirement Grade 2 (third box).
- Test size: sash rebate width × height recorded as the fourth box (test-size only).
- Performance tests:
- Ease of sash movement: initiation and sustained operating force must not exceed 100 N.
- Durability (cycling): hardware must continue to function normally after the specified number of cycles (H1–H3).
- Static load test: hardware must remain functional and sash/frame clearance must not increase by more than 3 mm after loading.
- Corrosion resistance: essential visible areas evaluated per EN 1670; some features (rivet holes, weld zones, non-visible raw surfaces) are exempt.
- Marking and documentation: Classification must be shown with the standard reference, and test sizes and grades recorded on product information.
Applications
- Manufacturers use EN 13126-11:2025 for product design, type testing and quality control of top hung projecting reversible hardware.
- Test laboratories apply the prescribed test rigs and procedures for certification and compliance verification.
- Specifiers, architects and fabricators reference the standard when selecting hardware for window systems, ensuring required durability, load capacity and corrosion performance.
- Procurement & compliance: useful for tender specifications and demonstrating conformity with European CEN requirements when placing hardware on the market.
Related Standards
- EN 1670 - Building hardware: Corrosion resistance - Requirements and test methods.
- EN 13126-5 - Devices that restrict the opening of windows and door-height windows (integrated restrictor testing).
- Other parts of the EN 13126 series (Parts 1–19) covering additional window hardware types and common requirements.
Keywords: EN 13126-11:2025, top hung projecting reversible hardware, window hardware, durability test, corrosion resistance, static load test, EN 1670, EN 13126 series, sash mass, test sizes.
