Overview
EN 13116:2024 - Curtain walling - Resistance to wind load - Performance requirements is a CEN standard that specifies structural performance criteria for curtain walling under static wind pressures (positive and negative), covering both fixed and openable parts. Applicable to any curtain walling product as defined in EN 13830, this standard defines serviceability and ultimate limit state requirements, test expectations and reporting for verifying resistance to wind load. EN 13116:2024 supersedes the 2001 edition and aligns deflection limits with EN 13830.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Applies to curtain walling systems per EN 13830; covers structural performance under design and increased wind loads.
- Design wind load: Determined following Eurocode procedures (EN 1991-1-4).
- Increased (safety) wind load: Defined as 1.5 × design wind load.
- Serviceability (design wind load) - frontal deflection limits:
- d ≤ L / 200 for L ≤ 3 000 mm
- d ≤ 5 mm + L / 300 for 3 000 mm < L < 7 500 mm
- d ≤ L / 250 for L ≥ 7 500 mm
- L = span between points of support/anchorage to the building
- Residual deformation: After peak loading and one hour recovery, residual deformation must not exceed 5% of maximum measured deformation or 1,0 mm, whichever is greater.
- Support displacement: Difference between peak positive and negative loads at support points shall be < 2 mm.
- Air permeability repeatability: Positive difference between air permeability at maximum pressure in first and second tests limited (see standard for exact numeric threshold).
- Ultimate limit state (increased wind load): No permanent damage to framing, infill panels, opening units, fasteners or anchors; panels, beads and capping must remain secure and gaskets undisturbed. If glass breaks during test, replacement and continuation is allowed only if breakage is not due to glazing/frame faults.
- Test methods and reporting: Specimens tested per EN 12179 with test sequence per EN 13830; reports must conform to EN 12179 requirements.
Applications and users
EN 13116:2024 is used to:
- Demonstrate product compliance and durability under wind loads for façade systems
- Guide manufacturers in design limits and quality control
- Provide acceptance criteria for test laboratories and certification bodies
- Support façade engineers, specifiers, architects, building owners and regulators in product selection and performance verification
