Windows and doors - Resistance to repeated opening and closing - Test method

This document specifies the method to be used to determine the resistance to repeated opening and closing of windows and pedestrian doorsets when subjected to repeated opening and closing.
It applies to all construction materials and operating systems for any window or pedestrian doorset, including gaskets and building hardware, in normal operating conditions.
The parts concerned in the testing are the frame, the opening component (including any additional moving components e.g. an inactive sash/leaf) and all essential and directly involved building hardware, including operating devices, for example, the handle.
The testing does not include any hardware whose operation is not directly involved in the opening and closing of the moving components: added-on fastening systems such as peg-stays or cabin hooks or bolts, nor, unless specified, any independently installed stops (not connected to the complete assembly) such as a wall or ground-mounted stop.
NOTE 1   The annexes provide more details on the testing procedures that can differ from the main part of this document and are normative:
-   Annex A applies to tilt and turn, tilt-first, turn-only, or tilt-only windows and door-height windows;
-   Annex B applies to sliding, lift and slide or lift and slide and tilt windows and door-height windows;
-   Annex C applies to tilt and slide windows and door-height windows;
-   Annex D applies to fold and slide windows and door-height windows;
-   Annex E applies to horizontal and vertical pivot windows and door-height windows;
-   Annex F applies to vertical sliding windows;
-   Annex G applies to side-hung casements and top-hung windows, opening outwards (including reversible windows);
-   Annex H applies to side-hung single and double action pedestrian doorsets excluding power operated doors;
-   Annex I applies to power-operated (automatic) side-hung single action pedestrian doorsets.
NOTE 2   In this document, the term door-height window is used for windows that are used for the passage of pedestrians, i.e. as a pedestrian doorset.

Fenster und Türen - Dauerfunktionsprüfung - Prüfverfahren

Dieses Dokument legt das Prüfverfahren fest, das zur Bestimmung der Widerstandsfähigkeit von Fenstern und Türelementen bei wiederholtem Öffnen und Schließen anzuwenden ist.
Das Prüfverfahren gilt für alle Konstruktionswerkstoffe und Bedienungsarten für alle Fenster oder alle Türen unter Einbeziehung der Dichtungen und Baubeschläge unter gewöhnlichen Betriebsbedingungen.
Die von der Prüfung betroffenen Teile sind die Zarge/der Rahmen, die zu öffnenden Teile (einschließlich aller weiteren beweglichen Teile, z. B. Standflügel) und alle wesentlichen unmittelbar beteiligten Baubeschläge einschließlich der Betätigungsvorrichtungen, z. B. des Fenstergriffs/Türdrückers/Knaufs.
In die Prüfung nicht eingeschlossen sind alle Baubeschläge, deren Bedienung nicht unmittelbar das Öffnen und Schließen der beweglichen Teile betrifft: nachgerüstete Verschlussvorrichtungen, z. B. Stiftfeststeller oder Haken oder Riegel sowie, wenn nicht anders festgelegt, alle unabhängig von dem zu prüfenden Element montierten Anschläge (nicht verbunden mit dem vollständigen Fenster /Türelement), z. B. an der Wand oder am Boden montierte Anschläge.
ANMERKUNG 1   Die Anhänge enthalten mehr Einzelheiten zu den Prüfverfahren, die sich vom Hauptteil dieses Dokuments unterscheiden können und normativ sind:
-   Anhang A gilt für Drehkipp , Kippdreh- (mit der Funktion Kippen vor Drehen), Dreh- oder Kipp-Fenster und  Fenstertüren;
-   Anhang B gilt für Schiebe , Hebeschiebe- oder Hebeschiebekipp-Fenster oder Fenstertüren;
-   Anhang C gilt für Kippschiebe-Fenster und  Fenstertüren;
-   Anhang D gilt für Faltschiebe-Fenster und  Fenstertüren;
-   Anhang E gilt für Schwing- und Wende-Fenster und  Fenstertüren;
-   Anhang F gilt für Vertikalschiebe-Fenster;
-   Anhang G gilt für Dreh- und Klappfenster, nach außen öffnend (einschließlich Umkehrfenster);
-   Anhang H gilt für nicht kraftbetätigte Drehflügeltürelemente;
-   Anhang I gilt für kraftbetätigte (automatische) in eine Richtung öffnende Drehflügeltüren.
ANMERKUNG 2   In diesem Dokument wird der Begriff "Fenstertür" für Fenster verwendet, die dem Durchgang von Personen, d. h. als Tür, dienen.

Fenêtres et portes - Résistance à l'ouverture et fermeture répétée - Méthode d'essai

Le présent document définit la méthode à utiliser pour déterminer l'endurance des manoeuvres d'ouverture et de fermeture répétées de fenêtres et de blocs-portes pour piétons lorsqu'ils sont soumis à des cycles répétés d'ouverture et fermeture.
Il s'applique à tous les matériaux de construction et systèmes de manoeuvre des fenêtres ou des blocs portes pour piétons, y compris les joints et la quincaillerie, dans les conditions normales de manoeuvre.
Les parties concernées par l'essai sont l'huisserie, l'élément ouvrant (y compris les éléments mobiles supplémentaires, par exemple un ouvrant ou vantail secondaire) et toute la quincaillerie indispensable et directement impliquée, y compris les dispositifs de manoeuvre, par exemple la poignée.
L'essai ne concerne pas la quincaillerie dont la manoeuvre n'est pas directement impliquée dans l'ouverture et la fermeture des éléments mobiles : dispositifs de fermeture complémentaires tels qu'entrebâilleurs, crochets de retenue ou verrous ni, sauf spécification contraire, les butées montées indépendamment (non raccordées à l'élément complet) telles qu'une butée posée sur un mur ou au sol.
NOTE 1   Les annexes fournissent de plus amples détails sur les modes opératoires d'essai qui peuvent déroger au corps principal du présent document et sont normatives :
− l'Annexe A s'applique aux fenêtres et portes-fenêtres oscillo-battantes, battantes-oscillantes, battantes uniquement ou oscillantes uniquement ;
− l'Annexe B s'applique aux fenêtres et portes-fenêtres coulissantes, levantes-coulissantes ou levantes-coulissantes-oscillantes ;
− l'Annexe C s'applique aux fenêtres et portes-fenêtres oscillo-coulissantes ;
− l'Annexe D s'applique aux fenêtres et portes-fenêtres accordéon ;
− l'Annexe E s'applique aux fenêtres et portes-fenêtres basculantes et pivotantes ;
− l'Annexe F s'applique aux fenêtres à guillotine ;
− l'Annexe G s'applique aux fenêtres à projection sur axe vertical et sur axe horizontal supérieur, ouvrant vers l'extérieur (y compris les fenêtres réversibles) ;
− l'Annexe H s'applique aux blocs-portes battants pour piétons ouvrant dans un seul sens ou dans les deux sens, à l'exclusion des portes motorisées ;
− l'Annexe I s'applique aux blocs-portes motorisés (automatique) pour piétons ouvrant dans un seul sens.
NOTE 2   Dans le présent document, le terme porte-fenêtre est utilisé pour des fenêtres utilisées pour le passage de piétons, c'est-à-dire comme un bloc-porte pour piétons.
