4 Introduction
The performances given in this European Standard which illustrate suitability for use, are required for every type of shutter (intrinsic performances). Other performances are only required as a complement (specific performances) and result in specific products. Some of them are described in European Standards (e.g. EN 1522, EN 1523, ENV 1627, ENV 1628, ENV 1629, ENV 1630, EN 13123-1, EN 13124-1, EN 13123-2 and EN 13124-2). Others are described in prEN 14500 and prEN14501 in the process of preparation and deal with important subjects such as thermal comfort, i.e.: - Solar factor; - Shading factor; - Direct solar transmittance; - Secondary heat transfer factor; - Solar radiation reduction factor. and visual comfort, i.e.: - Light control; - Night privacy; - Visual contact with the outside; - Glare control; - Rendering of colours.
or with the airborne sound insulation brought by shutters (see prEN 14759).
NOTE Health and Safety regulations require that the workplace receives as much natural light as is reasonably practical (see EU Directive 89/654/EEC) and protection of operators working with VDV screens against glare control and reflected light (see EU Directive 87/391/EEC).
The list of these documents is given in the Bibliography.
With the aim of clarifying the intentions of the standard and avoiding doubts when reading it, following assumptions were made related to power operated products while producing it:
— Negotiations shall occur between the manufacturer and the purchaser concerning particular conditions for use and places for use such as for nursery schools or for buildings for disabled people which need specific risk analysis;
— The risk analysis carried out in this standard and the corresponding significant hazards listed in annex C suppose a normal use or normally predictable use e.g. which excludes deliberate and conscious risks taken by the user (see Interpretative Document “Safety in use” of EU Construction Products Directive).
This European Standard specifies the performance requirements which shutters shall fulfil when fitted to a building. It deals also with the significant hazards for construction, transport, installation, operation and maintenance of the shutters (see list of significant machine hazards in annex C).
It applies to all shutters as well as similar products whatever their use and nature of the materials used, as follows:
— external Venetian blind, roller shutter, wing shutter, Venetian shutter, flat-closing concertina shutter, concertina shutter or sliding panel shutter, with or without a system of projection.
These products can be operated manually with or without compensating spring, or by means of electric motors (power operated products).
This document is not applicable to shutters which are manufactured before the date of application of this document by CEN.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN 1070:1998 and EN 12216:2002 and the following apply.
3.1 intrinsic performance overall performances of the shutter regardless of its application as opposed to specific performance
3.2 specific performance performance which may be additional and complementary to the intrinsic performances and refers to a specific product (for example, acoustic, thermic, burglary resistance, etc.)
3.3 curtain that part of the product which is set in motion by the operating mechanism, and ensures its function
3.4 extension/retraction movement of the curtain resulting in an increase/decrease the surface area covered
3.5 opening/closing terms used to describe the increase in light (opening) or reduction of light (closing) in an extended position for products with slats or slats which can be tilted or adjusted
