1 Scope
This document specifies requirements and test methods for durability, strength, security and
functionality of window fastener handles.
This document does not apply to the following hardware:
a) handles - primarily for Tilt and Turn, Tilt-First and Turn-Only hardware, refer to EN 13126-3;
b) sash fasteners, refer to EN 13126-14;
c) sliding closing devices, refer to EN 13126-19.
NOTE The handles covered by this document do not have a spindle and the spur is primarily used to achieve
the locked closed position.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some of all of their contents
constitute 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.
