BS EN 636, Plywood Specifications. 3 Terms and definitions For the purpose of this British Standard, the terms and definitions given in BS

12、 6100 apply. 4 Classification NOTE The classification system described in this clause is the same as that specified in the series of European Standards for building hardware. 4.1 General Pull handles shall be classified in accordance with the six digit classification system described in 4.2 to 4.7.

13、4.2 Category of use (first digit) The category of use for a pull handle shall be classified as either: grade 1: light duty endures a force of 100 N; grade 2: medium duty endures a force of 250 N; grade 3: heavy duty endures a force of 600 N; grade 4: severe duty endures a force of 1 200 N. 4.3 Durab

14、ility (second digit) The durability of a pull handle shall be classified as: grade 2: 5 000 test cycles. NOTE In European Standards for building hardware, durability is classified in terms of the number of test cycles the hardware is subjected to. However, the durability test for pull handles keeps

15、the number of test cycles constant, i.e. 5 000 test cycles, and determines durability in terms of the size of a force that the pull handle can endure (see Clause 7). The size of the force that a pull handle is required to tolerate depends upon the category of use for which it is intended (see 4.2).

16、4.4 Door mass (third digit) No classification. 4.5 Suitability for use on fire/smoke doors (fourth digit) The suitability for use of the pull handles on fire/smoke door assemblies shall be classified as: grade 0: not intended for use on fire/smoke door assemblies; grade 1: suitable for use on fire/s

17、moke door assemblies. NOTE Information about the types of fire/smoke door assemblies for which the pull handle is suitable is to be supplied by the manufacturer in accordance with Clause 9.BS 8424:2004 2 BSI 19 February 2004 4.6 Safety (fifth digit) The safety of pull handles shall be classified as:

18、 grade 1: safe. 4.7 Corrosion resistance (sixth digit) The corrosion resistance of pull handles shall be classified in accordance with BS EN 1670:1998, Clause 4 as: grade 0: no defined corrosion resistance; grade 1: low resistance; grade 2: moderate resistance; grade 3: high resistance; grade 4: ver

19、y high resistance. 4.8 Summary of classification 4.9 Example of classification The following example of classification denotes a heavy duty pull handle of grade 2 durability, for an unspecified door mass. It is suitable for use on fire/smoke door assemblies and is classified as safe. The pull handle

20、 has a very high corrosion resistance and is therefore suitable for use in a marine or very polluted industrial environment. 5 Safety All pull handles which satisfy the requirements of this standard shall be classified as safe, i.e. grade 1 (see 4.6). All arrisses and exposed corners shall be rounde

21、d to a radius of not less than 0.5 mm. 6 Performance 6.1 Durability Pull handles shall be tested for durability in accordance with Clause 7. The level of durability to which a pull handle shall be tested depends upon the category of use for which it is intended (see 4.2). When tested in accordance w

22、ith Clause 7: a) the pull handle assembly shall not show any sign of damage; b) the pull handle fixings shall not show any sign of loosening or damage; and c) any residual deformation of the pull handle, as measured in accordance with 7.3.5, shall be not greater than 1 mm. 123456 Category of use Dur

24、 of the corrosion resistance grades listed in 4.7. All surfaces of the pull handle which are visible when fitted in service shall conform to the acceptance criteria in BS EN 1670:1998, 5.7. The BS EN 1670 test shall be carried out on samples that have not already been subjected to any form of testin

25、g. 6.3 Fire resistance In order to be classified as suitable for use on fire/smoke door assemblies, i.e. grade 1 in 4.5, pull handles shall be incorporated into a door assembly and the whole assembly shall be subjected to a fire test in accordance with BS EN 1634-1. BS EN 1634-1 allows for the testi

26、ng of the fire resistance of a number of different types of door assemblies. Therefore, if a pull handle is classified as suitable for use on fire/smoke doors after testing in accordance with BS EN 1634-1, the manufacturer shall supply information in accordance with Clause 9 regarding the types of f

27、ire/smoke door assemblies for which the pull handle is suitable. 7 Durability test 7.1 General Control the ambient temperature of the test environment throughout the test to between 15 C and 30 C. Ensure that the testing environment is draught free. Apply the following tolerances on measured values,

28、 except where otherwise defined: angular position, in degrees: 2; force, in newtons: 2 %; length, in millimetres: 2 %; time, in seconds: 1 s. Determine measurements using measuring instruments with an accuracy of U1.5 %. Include, as part of the test equipment, a means for recording the number of tes

29、t cycles performed. 7.2 Apparatus 7.2.1 Test rig, comprising the apparatus specified in 7.2.2 and 7.2.3. NOTE A typical test rig is shown in Figure 1. 7.2.2 Mounting block, with a thickness of (40 1) mm, made of plywood conforming to class F 30/40, E 40/50 of BS EN 636. The plywood shall be made of

30、between 18 and 22 laminations. The mounting block shall be of a suitable size to accept the test sample. The block shall extend at least 30 mm beyond the extreme dimensions of the sample in all directions, including any mounting plate or fixture that forms a part of the pull handle assembly. Where t

31、he test sample is particularly long or wide, separate mounting blocks may be used at each pull handle fixing point with the proviso that each block shall extend at least 30 mm beyond the pull handle fixing point, including any mounting plate or fixture that forms a part of the pull handle assembly.

32、Under these conditions each mounting block shall be securely fixed to a common steel plate of sufficient strength and rigidity such that there is no visible distortion of the plate during the tests. 7.2.3 Ram, comprising a hydraulic load applicator, or similar loading device, which can exert the tes

33、t forces required in 4.2. Three pull action rams on the test rig shall be connected in such a way that each can be operated independently. The pull action rams shall be capable of operating at 3 s intervals. An additional angular positioning ram shall be positioned to enable the three pull action ra

34、ms to be rotated from a 30 position to a 150 position, in increments of 30.BS 8424:2004 4 BSI 19 February 2004 7.3 Procedure 7.3.1 Preparing the test specimen Examine the test specimen to ensure that it is complete and undamaged. Mount the test specimen on the test rig specified in 7.2 using the fix

35、ings with which the manufacturer intends the pull handle to be used. If the manufacturer is not performing the durability test, the manufacturer shall supply the tester with instructions about how to mount the pull handle onto the test rig, including details about which fixings to use. NOTE The pull

36、 action rams of the test rig are not attached to the test specimen at this stage of the durability test. Key 1. Ram for angular position 4. Failure cut-out switch 2.

38、hat a pull action ram exerts on the test specimen from one of the categories listed in 4.2. Connect the pull action ram(s) to the test specimen and subject the test specimen to the force in accordance with 7.3.3.2 or 7.3.3.3, whichever is applicable. 7.3.3.2 Method of test for pull handles 200 mm in

39、 length Connect the three pull action rams to the pull handle and ensure that the two outer pull action rams are positioned 50 mm from each end, and the remaining pull action ram is centrally positioned on the handle. When it is not possible to connect the two outer pull action rams 50 mm from each

40、end of the pull handle, e.g. for cranked pull handles, ensure that the two outer pull action rams are connected to the next nearest practicable position. In such cases, record the precise position of the outer two pull action rams. When it is not possible to connect the middle pull action ram to the

41、 centre of the pull handle, e.g. for pull handles with one central fixing point, connect the middle pull action ram to either side of the fixing point in such a way that the load applied by the ram is evenly distributed and avoids excess stress. In such cases, record the precise position of the midd

42、le pull action ram. Subject the test specimen to the following cycle of force application. a) Index the angular positioning ram to the 30 position and apply a force without shock according to the required category of use grade shown in 4.2, each of the three pull action rams applying the force in se

43、quence. Maintain the force from each pull action ram for 3 s. b) Index the angular positioning ram to the 60, 90, 120 and 150 positions and, at each index position, apply the same force used in item a) without shock from each ram in sequence. Maintain the force from each pull action ram for 3 s for

44、each position. Repeat the a) and b) test cycle 5 000 times. 7.3.4 Post-test measurement Measure the gap between the inner face of the pull handle and the face of the test block, at the mid-point of the handle longitudinally, using the same method as in 7.3.2. If the test block has suffered damage du

45、ring the durability test, place the pull handle on a flat reference surface to enable accurate measurement of the gap. 7.3.5 Calculation of results Determine the extent of deformation caused on the pull handle after testing in accordance with 7.3.3 by calculating the difference between the values de

46、termined in 7.3.2 and 7.3.4.BS 8424:2004 6 BSI 19 February 2004 7.3.6 Post-test assessment Verify whether the performance of the pull handle conforms to 6.1 for the category of use specified in 4.2 for which it was tested. 7.4 Test report The report shall contain the following information: a) the na

47、me of the pull handle manufacturer; b) a detailed description of the pull handle and its fixings; c) the date of testing and the standard to which it has been tested, i.e. BS 8424:2004; d) the force applied in accordance with 4.2; e) whether the test was carried out in accordance with 7.3.3.2 or 7.3
