Curtain walling - Resistance to wind load - Performance requirements
This document specifies the structural performance requirements of curtain walling under wind load, both its fixed and openable parts, under positive and negative static air pressure.
This document applies to any curtain walling product as defined in EN 13830.
Vorhangfassaden - Widerstand gegen Windlast - Leistungsanforderungen
Dieses Dokument legt die Bauleistungsanforderungen an sowohl ortsfeste als auch zu öffnende Teile von Vorhangfassaden unter Windlast bei positivem und negativem statischem Druck fest.
Dieses Dokument ist für alle in EN 13830 festgelegten Produkte von Vorhangfassaden anwendbar.
ANMERKUNG Aufgrund der Vielzahl an den sich beim Einbau von Vorhangfassaden anzupassenden unterschiedlichen Aufrissdarstellungen und Maßabweichungen, ist es nicht sinnvoll, die vielfältigen Vorhangfassaden¬systeme und nach Kundenangaben gefertigten Ausführungen konstruktiv zu klassifizieren.
Façade rideaux - Résistance structurelle au vent - Prescriptions de performance
Ce document définit les prescriptions de performance structurelle des façades rideaux sous la charge du vent, pour les parties fixes et ouvrantes, sous une pression statique positive et négative.
Ce document s'applique à tous les produits de façades rideaux suivant la définition donnée dans l'EN 13830.
NOTE En raison des nombreuses configurations d'élévation et des variations diverses qui sont prises en compte par les installations de façades-rideaux, il n'est pas pratique de classer la grande variété des systèmes de façades-rideaux et de constructions spécialement conçues.
Obešene fasade - Odpornost proti obremenitvi z vetrom - Zahtevane lastnosti
Ta dokument določa zahteve glede učinkovitosti konstrukcije obešenih fasad pri vetrni obremenitvi tako fiksnih kot premičnih delov obešenih fasad pod pozitivnim in negativnim statističnim zračnim tlakom.
Ta dokument se uporablja za vse proizvode obešene fasade, kot je določeno v standardu EN 13830.

Overview
EN 13116:2024 - Curtain walling - Resistance to wind load - Performance requirements is a CEN standard that specifies structural performance criteria for curtain walling under static wind pressures (positive and negative), covering both fixed and openable parts. Applicable to any curtain walling product as defined in EN 13830, this standard defines serviceability and ultimate limit state requirements, test expectations and reporting for verifying resistance to wind load. EN 13116:2024 supersedes the 2001 edition and aligns deflection limits with EN 13830.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Applies to curtain walling systems per EN 13830; covers structural performance under design and increased wind loads.
- Design wind load: Determined following Eurocode procedures (EN 1991-1-4).
- Increased (safety) wind load: Defined as 1.5 × design wind load.
- Serviceability (design wind load) - frontal deflection limits:
- d ≤ L / 200 for L ≤ 3 000 mm
- d ≤ 5 mm + L / 300 for 3 000 mm < L < 7 500 mm
- d ≤ L / 250 for L ≥ 7 500 mm
- L = span between points of support/anchorage to the building
- Residual deformation: After peak loading and one hour recovery, residual deformation must not exceed 5% of maximum measured deformation or 1,0 mm, whichever is greater.
- Support displacement: Difference between peak positive and negative loads at support points shall be < 2 mm.
- Air permeability repeatability: Positive difference between air permeability at maximum pressure in first and second tests limited (see standard for exact numeric threshold).
- Ultimate limit state (increased wind load): No permanent damage to framing, infill panels, opening units, fasteners or anchors; panels, beads and capping must remain secure and gaskets undisturbed. If glass breaks during test, replacement and continuation is allowed only if breakage is not due to glazing/frame faults.
- Test methods and reporting: Specimens tested per EN 12179 with test sequence per EN 13830; reports must conform to EN 12179 requirements.
Applications and users
EN 13116:2024 is used to:
- Demonstrate product compliance and durability under wind loads for façade systems
- Guide manufacturers in design limits and quality control
- Provide acceptance criteria for test laboratories and certification bodies
- Support façade engineers, specifiers, architects, building owners and regulators in product selection and performance verification
- Inform contract specifications, production testing and on-site acceptance
