19、(E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is a graded product standard. The hardware is tested on a standardized test frame. The standard test frame is intended to eliminate any inconsistency of results that may arise through the variability between different types of installation and materials that
20、 are used for the production of shutters. This European Standard is only applicable to hardware that connects side-hung shutter sashes either directly or indirectly to a superstructure. It does not take account of any aids or measures which are used to assemble individual shutter components. Further
21、more, it does not take account of any aids used for the installation of shutter hardware on the structure of a building. Where possible, test methods have been unified so that a wide range of shutter types and hardware can be accommodated. In particular a) sizes and mass of moving shutter sashes, b)
22、 frequency and total number of test cycles and c) range of operations of the movable shutter sash during each test cycle. The fixing devices used during testing vary according to the different materials used in the construction of shutters. For this reason shutter hardware under test may be securely
23、 fixed to the test apparatus by mechanical means that may differ from those normally used on shutters. The type and grade of hardware and the effectiveness of methods of fixing can be verified by testing in accordance with relevant performance standards for complete shutter assemblies. Typical shutt
24、er assemblies and hinge arrangements are depicted in Annex A. NOTE The test methods in this standard include overload tests which ensure that such safety related devices have a margin of strength in excess of that required for normal operation, even if after such tests the shutter no longer function
25、s normally. EN 14648:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies performance requirements for the strength and durability of hardware for the operation of movable shutter sashes including requirements and test methods. This European Standard is applicable to hardware for side-hung and top-hu
26、ng shutters comprising one or more shutter sashes. The requirements and test methods of this European Standard are applicable to the following: shapes and dimensions of sash hinges, double-sashed shutter hinges and frame hinges shapes and dimensions of frame hinges and sash hinges with arrest functi
27、on Only the corrosion requirements of 4.7 are applicable to double-sash shutter latches, locking-rods, decorative corner-brackets, handles, stops without automatic arrest function, central hinges, shutter catches with automatic arrest function and other hardware components for window and door shutte
28、rs. NOTE 1 The sashes of side-hung shutters may have additional projecting shutter-inserts. The hardware for these projecting shutter-inserts is not covered by the scope of this European Standard. NOTE 2 If due to the hardware fixing type or the dead weight of the described test shutter, this can no
29、t be used, a corresponding system sash with the same dimensions (800 mm wide 1 400 mm high) can be tested. This is particularly valid for hardware used exclusively in a complete modular system from a systems manufacturer (consisting of the hardware components, frame profiles and panel units as well
30、as the necessary fixing materials). NOTE 3 Tower bolts and locking-rods should conform to EN 12051. NOTE 4 Fixings used to attach hardware to shutters are not covered by this European Standard. To allow a choice of items from a single source, so-called “product group“ of elements may be nominated by
31、 the manufacturer. The single components may be called “product group“ components, if these are approved by accredited test authorities commissioned to test, based upon the comparable features; for example hinge features with regard to material, thickness, hole diameter and pin diameter. Where test
32、results for the weakest element of a product group are valid the rest of the product group need not be tested. It is a test laboratorys right to accept or reject a product for assessment within a product group or to request further test specimens. 2 Normative references The following referenced docu
