Doorsets and windows — Water-tightness test under dynamic pressure — Cyclonic aspects
ISO 15821:2007 specifies a test method for determining the water-tightness under dynamic pressure of doorsets and windows, assembled for normal use and installed as in practice. ISO 15821:2007 is applicable to areas subject to severe weather, e.g. that are heavily weather-beaten, stricken by driving rain and wind, including typhoons, hurricanes, cyclones and other severe climate. ISO 15821:2007 does not apply to the joints between the door or window frame and the building construction.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15821 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 162, Doors and windows.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 15821:2007(E)
Doorsets and windows — Water-tightness test under dynamic
pressure — Cyclonic aspects
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a test method for determining the water-tightness under dynamic
pressure of doorsets and windows, assembled for normal use and installed as in practice.
This International Standard is applicable to areas subject to severe weather, e.g. that are heavily weather-
beaten, stricken by driving rain and wind, including typhoons, hurricanes, cyclones and other severe climate.
This International Standard does not apply to the joints between the door or window frame and the building
construction.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 1804, Doors — Terminology
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 1804 and the following apply.
3.1
pressure differential
differential air pressure between the external and internal faces of the test specimen
3.2
dynamic pressure
pressure differential which cyclically pulsates in approximate to a sine wave, applied to the external face of the
test specimen
3.3
upper limit value
P
max
upper limit value of dynamic pressure during the test
3.4
median value
P
median value of dynamic pressure during the test, required by product specification or agreed between the
parties concerned

3.5
lower limit value
P
min
lower limit value of dynamic pressure during the test
3.6
water tightness
ability of the closed test specimen to resist water penetration
3.7
water penetration
continuous or repeated wetting of the parts of the building and components that are not designed to be wetted
4 Principle
A specified amount of water is sprayed constantly across the external face of the test specimen under
dynamic pressure. If water penetration is observed visually, the location where water penetration has occurred
is recorded.
5 Test specimen
5.1 Test specimen
The test specimen shall be such that it is completely assembled for normal use and installed as in practice.
5.2 Glazing for test specimen
If the test specimen contains a glazed area, it shall be glazed in compliance with the requirements of the
manufacturer. If no glass thickness is specified, the test shall be carried out with the minimum glass thickness
specified by the manufacturer.
6 Test apparatus
6.1 General
The test apparatus shall be a mechanical device having the elements as designated in Figure 1.
6.2 Pressure chamber
The pressure chamb
