4.10 Test sizes – Size limitations (9 – ninth digit)

The ninth digit shows the window size in which the component has been tested as a single piece of hardware in accordance with 4.10 of EN 13126-1:2006 as follows: S.R.W.1) = 700 mm / S.R.H.2) =

500 mm – tolerance ± 5 mm

The specified sizes are test sizes only They do not relate to the maximum or minimum sizes to which

a window may be fabricated

NOTE The manufacturer’s product-documentation should advise that in daily use windows smaller or larger than those tested should not be subjected to stronger forces than those for the specified test size

4.11 Example of classification for finger catches

This denotes finger catches, which has:

Digit 1 category of use - (no requirements)

Digit 2 durability grade 3 (10 000 cycles)

6 Test equipment

The finger catches shall be fitted to a test rig as specified in Clause 6 of EN 13126-1:2006 using a

simulated casement or sash in accordance with the manufacturer’s fixing instructions (see Annex A,

Figure A.1)

If there is no fitting location in the manufacturer’s fixing instructions, mount the sample finger operated

catch and keep it to the centre of the top rail of casement or sash

7 Test methods

7.1 Samples

Three test samples shall be used for testing in accordance with this European Standard as follows:

sample A – performance tests;

sample B – corrosion tests;

sample C – retained for reference control

NOTE 1 Sample B should only be necessary if no test report can be supplied by the manufacturer regarding

the testing of the hardware component or set in accordance with EN 1670

NOTE 2 Sample C should be retained by the test institute for the duration of the validity of the test report

BS EN 13126-7:2007

8

Before the durability test measure the force F1 necessary to operate the finger catch whilst

maintaining a force F3 40 N ± 1 N at the centre of the top rail of the casement or sash (see Table 1 and Annex A, Figure A.1)

Reduce force F3 by 20 N ± 1 N (see Table 1) at the centre of the top rail of the casement or sash and maintain throughout the test

Operate the casement or sash, without shock, for 10 000 cycles (+1 %) cycles at a rate of

250 cycles /h +025 cycles / h

After the test, measure and record the force F1 required to operate the finger catch, while maintaining

a force F3 = 40 N ± 1 N, at the centre of the top rail of the casement or sash (see Table 1 and Annex A, Figure A.1)

Hardware shall be lubricated in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation and maintenance instructions unless the hardware is claimed to be maintenance-free

7.3 Static load test

(See Table 1)

Apply static load F2 = 200+010

N for 60+010

s and release (see Annex A, Figure A.1)

After the static load test with F2 the hardware shall function correctly

Apply load F3 = 300+015 N for 60+010 s

After the static load test with F3 the hardware shall function correctly

NOTE This test is necessary if the manufacturer cannot provide a test report in accordance with EN 1670

All corrosion tests shall be on original new samples Any frangible positioning lugs holding components together (i.e for cam centre-positioning) shall be broken
