Internal blinds - Protection from strangulation hazards - Requirements and test methods for safety devices

This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for safety devices to be used for protection from strangulation in internal blinds as specified in EN 13120 and insect screens as specified in EN 13561.
These devices might be fitted to internal blinds and insect screens at the time of manufacture or for retrofitting.
This European Standard applies to any design of device including the following:
-   tensioning devices;
-   breakaway devices;
-   accumulation devices;
-   non tangling devices;
-   inner cord stops.
Although at the time this standard has been published, no product standard exists for draperies, requirements and test methods specified in the present standard may be applied to safety devices used in such products.
For clarification purpose, the term "internal blinds" used in the present standard should mean "internal blinds and insect screens".

Innere Abschlüsse - Schutz vor Strangulationsgefahren - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Sicherheitseinrichtungen

Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an und Prüfverfahren für Sicherheitseinrichtungen fest, die in inneren Abschlüssen entsprechend den Festlegungen in EN 13120 und in Insektenschutzgittern entsprechend den Festlegungen in EN 13561 zum Schutz vor Strangulation dienen.
Diese Einrichtungen können an inneren Abschlüssen und Insektenschutzgittern zum Zeitpunkt der Herstellung montiert sein oder nachgerüstet werden.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für jegliche Konstruktion von Sicherheitseinrichtungen, einschließlich der Folgenden:
- Spannvorrichtungen;
- Abreißvorrichtungen;
- Aufwickelvorrichtungen;
- Einrichtungen zum Schutz vor Verwicklung;
- Stopper für innen befindliche Schnüre.
Obwohl es zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung dieser Norm keine Produktnorm für Vorhänge gibt, dürfen die in der vorliegenden Norm festgelegten Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren auf Sicherheitseinrichtungen angewendet werden, die in solchen Produkten verwendet werden.
Zur Klarstellung sei angemerkt, dass der in der vorliegenden Norm verwendete Begriff 'innere Abschlüsse' die Bedeutung 'innere Abschlüsse und Insektenschutzgitter' hat.

Stores intérieurs - Protection contre les risques de strangulation - Exigences et méthodes d’essai pour les dispositifs de sécurité

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d'essai relatives aux dispositifs de sécurité utilisés pour la protection contre la strangulation dans les stores intérieurs tels que spécifiés dans l'EN 13120, et les moustiquaires telles que spécifiées dans l'EN 13561.
Ces dispositifs peuvent être installés sur les stores intérieurs et les moustiquaires au moment de la fabrication ou lors d'une mise à niveau de produits déjà installés.
Cette norme européenne s’applique à tout type de dispositif dont les suivants :
-   les dispositifs de tension ;
-   les dispositifs de déconnexion ;
-   les dispositifs d'accumulation ;
-   les dispositifs anti-emmêlement ;
-   les arrêts de cordons internes.
Bien que, à la date de publication de la présente norme, il n'existe aucune norme de produit relative aux voilages, les exigences et les méthodes d'essai spécifiées dans la présente norme peuvent être appliquées aux dispositifs de sécurité utilisés dans de tels produits.
A des fins de clarification, le terme « stores intérieurs » utilisé dans la présente norme doit signifier « stores intérieurs et moustiquaires ».
