CEN/TC 422 - Project Committee - Side curtains ventilation systems

CEN/TC 422 is a Technical Committee within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Project Committee - Side curtains ventilation systems" and is responsible for: Standardization of side curtain systems supplied for environmental control that use a barrier made from a flexible foil or fabric which moves via a rolling or folding action, or rigid panels that slide; as far as safety aspects, performance and sustainability issues are concerned. Included are machines that operate using the potential energy stored by the earlier application of human or animal force, such as stretched springs. Excluded are doors and side curtains when used as doors, ventilation products inflated by air, screens supplied for the control of fire or smoke and screens that move instantaneously upon the application of human force. This committee has published 1 standards.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.

A Technical Committee (TC) in CEN is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
