EN 1192:1999

Doors - Classification of strength requirements

This Standard provides a means of classifying where appropriate, the performance of door leaves, door frames, doorsets, and door assemblies according to their strength in resisting vertical load, static torsion, soft and heavy body impact,and hard body impact. The performance level indicate normal usage for a range of categories of duty. Special requirements such as those for burglar resistance or safety requirements related to glass infillings are not covered.

Türen - Klassifizierung der Festigkeitsanforderungen

Diese Norm dient zur Klassifizierung der Festigkeit von Türblätten, Türzargen und Türelementen bei vertikaler Belastung, statischer Verwindung, weichem und schwerem sowie hartem Stoß Widerstand zu leisten. Die Leistungsstufen berücksichtigen den üblichen Gebrauch für eine Reihe von Nutzungskategorien. Spezielle Anforderungen wie die der Einbruchsicherheit oder Sicherheitsanforderungen bezogen auf Glasfüllungen sind nicht abgedeckt.

Portes - Classification des exigences de résistance mécanique

La présente norme procure un moyen de classement des performances des vantaux, huisseries, blocs portes, blocs-portes assemblés selon leurs résistance à la charge verticale, à la torsion statique, au choc de corps mou et lourd, au choc de corps dur. Les niveaux de performance indiquent l'usage normal pour une gamme de types de sollicitations. Ne sont pas incluses les exigences spéciales, telles que celles concernant la résistance à l'effraction ou celles de sécurité liées aux remplissages en verre.

Overview

EN 1192:1999 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the classification of strength requirements for doors. It provides a systematic approach to evaluating the performance of door components such as door leaves, door frames, doorsets, and complete door assemblies. The classification focuses on their ability to resist various mechanical stresses including vertical load, static torsion, and impact from both soft and heavy bodies, as well as hard body impacts.

This standard is essential for manufacturers, designers, and specifiers in the door and construction industries to ensure that doors meet appropriate strength criteria for typical usage conditions. It excludes special requirements such as burglar resistance or safety aspects related to glass insertions, making it focused specifically on structural strength performance.

Key Topics

• Classification of Door Strength
  EN 1192:1999 categorizes doors based on their mechanical performance under different load and impact conditions. This helps in selecting doors that are suitable for different applications depending on the expected usage and stress levels.

• Performance Parameters
  The standard covers the following key mechanical performance tests:

  • Resistance to vertical load
  • Resistance to static torsion (twisting forces)
  • Resistance to soft body impact (e.g., human body impact)
  • Resistance to heavy body impact (e.g., forklift or industrial equipment impact)
  • Resistance to hard body impact (e.g., collision with rigid objects)

• Components Covered
  The scope includes door leaves, door frames, complete doorsets, and door assemblies, providing a comprehensive classification framework for all essential parts of a door system.

• Exclusions
  Special strength requirements related to burglary resistance and safety concerning glass panes or infillings are not addressed in this standard.

Applications

• Building and Construction
  Selecting appropriate doors that meet strength requirements for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings based on their intended usage and exposure to mechanical stresses.

• Product Development
  Door manufacturers use EN 1192:1999 to design and test doors that comply with recognized strength standards, improving product reliability and customer confidence.

• Quality Assurance
  Helps regulatory bodies and certification organizations verify that door products fulfill minimum strength criteria for safety and durability.

• Maintenance and Upgrading
  Facility managers and maintenance teams refer to this standard for assessing door conditions and deciding on replacements or reinforcements based on strength classifications.

Related Standards

• EN 1627 - Covers burglar resistance requirements for doors, which complements EN 1192 by addressing security aspects excluded in the strength classification.
• EN 14351-1 - Specifies performance characteristics for external pedestrian doorsets, including thermal and weather resistance, working together with strength standards.
• EN 12519 - Relates to testing of doors for impact resistance, providing detailed test methods referenced for classifications in EN 1192.
• EN 356 - Focuses on safety and security glass requirements, relevant for door assemblies with glass infillings.

Understanding and applying the EN 1192:1999 standard ensures that doors meet essential strength performance levels to withstand everyday mechanical stresses, contributing to enhanced safety, durability, and functional reliability in building environments.
