Internal blinds - Protection from strangulation hazards - Requirements and test methods for safety devices
EN 16434 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”.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2014, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 2014. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. This document is part of a series of standards dealing with blinds and shutters for buildings as defined in EN 12216. It is the intention that safety devices used in EN 13120 conform to EN 16434 for component testing and EN 16433 for functionality. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

Scope 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”. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

SIST EN 16434:2014
EN 16434:2014 (E) 5 For example, a breakaway device for an operating ball-chain should cover the ball-chain and the connector if the connector is dependent on the ball diameter. If an inner cord breakaway device is dependent on the type of fabric used in the internal blind then the fabric should also be considered as a part of the safety device. The number of samples tested shall be representative of the production run. Testing shall be repeated during the production to ensure that performances of devices are maintained. Testing shall be repeated whenever a change occurs in the design, in the composition, in the raw material or in the supplier of the raw material, or in the method of production. NOTE Guidance on sampling procedures can be found in ISO 2859-1. Although weights are used in the figures illustrating test methods, any other mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic equipment may be used. All weights and forces shall be applied with a tolerance of ± 1 %. Unless specified otherwise, all tests defined in this standard shall be performed at 23 °C ± 5 °C. Annex A presents a summary of the tests to be carried out on safety devices. In the context of this standard, the term “cord(s)” used shall mean “cord(s), chain(s), ball-chain(s), tape(s) and similar”. 5 Artificial ageing 5.1 Exposure to UV Before testing the safety devices, they shall be subjected to the cycle N°6 according to EN ISO 4892-2 or the cycle N°5 according to EN ISO 4892-3 for 500 h. 5.2 Mechanical endurance The mechanical endurance test is intended to reproduce the operating cycles of internal blinds. Before testing the safety devices, they shall be submitted to the following endurance test: a mechanical endurance test shall be carried out either according to EN 14201 on a representative internal blind or using a mechanical test equipment reproducing the load conditions of the representative internal blind. 5 000 cycles of extension/retraction shall be considered. The internal blind considered for the test shall be the maximum size for which the safety device is intended. 5.3 Effect of temperature Before testing the safety devices, they shall be submitted to the following temperature conditions: — Low temperature: the safety devices shall be submitted to conditioning at an air temperature of 5 °C ± 3 °C for a minimum of 4 h. — High temperature: the safety devices shall be submitted to conditioning at an air temperature of 60 °C ± 3 °C for a minimum of 4 h. The relevant tests of Clauses 6 to 11 shall then start at 23 °C ± 5 °C within 15 min. 6 Tensioning device 6.1 General This clause applies to safety devices intended to maintain continuous cord(s) forming a loop under tension and secured to a fixed surface (e.g. window frame, wall). SIST EN 16434:2014
EN 16434:2014 (E) 6 The test shall be carried out on the smallest and the largest diameter of cord(s) for which the tensioning device is designed. The test shall be carried out on sample(s) as defined in Clause 4: — in their original condition, — that have been exposed to UV as specified in 5.1, — that have been subjected to the mechanical endurance test as specified in 5.2, — that have been subjected to the effect of temperature as specified in 5.3 (at low temperature and at high temperature). Where a tensioning device is designed to accept more than one cord, each cord shall be tested separately. It shall be verified that the fixed retaining device maintaining the cord(s) under tension shall not crack or fracture under the application of a horizontal load applied in the middle of the cord. In
