Windows, doors, shutters and curtain walling - Explosion resistance - Requirements and classification - Part 1: Shock tube

This document specifies the criteria, which windows, doors, shutters as well as curtain walling elements need to satisfy to achieve a classification when submitted to the test method described in prEN 13124 1:2022.
This document concerns a method of test against blast waves generated by using a shock tube facility to simulate explosion loadings. The document considers free-field high explosive events in the order of 100 kg to 2 500 kg TNT at distances from about 35 m to 50 m, described by the fixed loading levels EPR0 to EPR4. Scenarios characterized by variable blast parameters for further high explosive and gas explosion scenarios, reaching a classification according to prEN 13124 1:2022, can also be specified.
Load profiles which cannot be reproduced with the shock tube might be reproduced by arena testing following EN 13123 2 and EN 13124 2.
This document is applicable to blast profiles generated in a shock tube test facility used to simulate high explosive and gas explosions on windows, doors, shutters as well as curtain walling systems, complete with their frames, infills and fixings, for use in both internal and external locations in buildings. It gives no information on the explosion resistance capacity of the wall or other surrounding structure.

Fenster, Türen, Abschlüsse und Vorhangfassaden - Sprengwirkungshemmung - Anforderungen und Klassifizierung - Teil 1: Stoßrohr

Dieses Dokument legt die Kriterien fest, die Fenster, Türen, Abschlüsse sowie Vorhangfassadenelemente erfüllen müssen, um eine Klassifizierung zu erreichen, wenn diese nach dem in prEN 13124 1:2022 beschriebenen Prüfverfahren geprüft werden.
Dieses Dokument befasst sich mit einem Prüfverfahren gegen mit einem Stoßrohr erzeugte Druckwellen, mit denen Explosionsbelastungen simuliert werden. Das Dokument berücksichtigt Sprengstoffexplosionen im Freifeld in der Größenordnung von 100 kg bis 2 500 kg TNT in Entfernungen von etwa 35 m bis 50 m, die durch die festen Belastungsstufen EPR0 bis EPR4 beschrieben werden. Weitere, durch variable Druckwellenparameter charakterisierte Szenarien für Sprengstoff- oder Gasexplosionen, die eine Klassifizierung nach prEN 13124 1:2022 erreichen, können ebenfalls angegeben werden.
Belastungsprofile, die mit dem Stoßrohr nicht reproduziert werden können, könnten durch Freilandversuche nach EN 13123 2 und EN 13124 2 reproduziert werden.
Dieses Dokument kann für Explosionsprofile angewendet werden, die in einem Stoßrohr erzeugt werden, um die Auswirkungen von Sprengstoff- und Gasexplosionen auf Fenster, Türen, Abschlüsse und Vorhangfassadensysteme (einschließlich deren Rahmen, Füllungen und Befestigungen) für den Einbau im Innenbereich und Außenbereich von Gebäuden nachzuahmen. Es gibt keinen Aufschluss über die Sprengwirkungshemmung der umgebenden Wand oder Gebäudekonstruktion.

Fenêtres, portes, fermetures et façades rideaux - Résistance à l'explosion - Prescriptions et classification - Partie 1: Tube à effet de souffle (shock tube)

Le présent document spécifie les critères auxquels doivent satisfaire les fenêtres, les portes, les fermetures ainsi que les éléments de façades rideaux pour pouvoir obtenir une classification, lorsqu'ils sont soumis à la méthode d'essai décrite dans la prEN 13124 1:2022.
Le présent document concerne une méthode d'essai contre les ondes de souffle générées par l'utilisation d'un tube à effet de souffle (shock tube) simulant des charges d'explosion. Le document prend en compte des événements de forte explosion en champ libre, de l'ordre de 100 kg à 2 500 kg de TNT à des distances d'environ 35 m à 50 m, décrites par les niveaux de charge fixés EPR0 à EPR4. Des scénarios caractérisés par des paramètres de souffle variables pour d'autres scénarios d'explosion de gaz et de fortes explosion, atteignant une classification conforme à la prEN 13124 1:2022, peuvent également être définis.
Les profils de charge qui ne peuvent pas être reproduits avec le tube à effet de souffle (shock tube) peuvent être reproduits par des essais en enceinte conformément à l'EN 13123 2 et l'EN 13124 2.
Le présent document s'applique aux profils de souffle générés dans une installation d'essai des tubes à effet de souffle (shock tube), pour simuler des explosions de gaz et de fortes explosifs sur des fenêtres, des portes, des fermetures ainsi que des systèmes de façades rideaux, y compris sur leurs dormants, leurs remplissages et leurs fixations, à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur des bâtiments. Elle ne donne aucune information quant à la capacité de résistance à l'explosion du mur ou de la structure environnante.

In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
— inclusion of façade testing;
— inclusion of loading of gas explosions (EPR 0), EPR1+ and user defined load class;
— editorial changes.
The EN 13123 series of standards Windows, doors, shutters and curtain walling — Explosion

1 Scope
This document specifies the criteria which windows, doors, shutters as well as curtain walling elements
need to satisfy to achieve a classification when submitted to the test method described in
prEN 13124-1:2022.
This document concerns a method of test against blast waves generated by using a shock tube facility to
simulate explosion loadings. The document considers free-field high explosive events in the order of
100 kg to 2 500 kg TNT at distances from about 35 m to 50 m, described by the fixed loading levels
EPR0 to EPR4. Scenarios characterized by variable blast parameters for further high explosive and gas
explosion scenarios, reaching a classification according to prEN 13124-1:2022, can also be specified.
Load profiles which cannot be reproduced with the shock tube might be reproduced by arena testing
following EN 13123-2 and EN 13124-2.
This document is applicable to blast profiles generated in a shock tube test facility used to simulate high
explosive and gas explosions on windows, doors, shutters as well as curtain walling systems, complete
with their frames, infills and fixings, for use in both internal and external locations in buildings. It gives
no information on the explosion resistance capacity of the wall or other surrounding structure.

4 Requirements
Resistance to damage and pressure shall be classified in accordance with Clause 5. This issue of the test
standard provides the possibility to do tests either:
a) for fixed classification levels (EPR classes); or
b) for variable scenarios with peak positive reflected pressure, peak positive specific impulse and
minimum duration for further high explosive detonations and gas explosions.
To achieve a particular class of explosion resistance, the test specimen shall:
c) be subjected to not less than the corresponding test level of each of peak positive reflected
pressure, peak positive specific impulse and minimum duration specified in Clause 5, Table 1 and
Figure 1, and
d) achieve a hazard class as specified in prEN 13124-1:2022, 9.2.
It is not a requirement of the test that performanc
