Curtain walling - Product standard

This European Standard specifies requirements of curtain walling kit intended to be used as a building envelope to provide weather resistance, safety in use and energy economy and heat retention and provides test/assessments/calculation methods and compliance criteria of the related performances.
The curtain walling kit covered by this standard should fulfil its own integrity and mechanical stability but does not contribute to the load bearing or stability of the main building structure, and could be replaced independently of it.
This standard applies to curtain walling kit ranging from a vertical position to ± 15° from the vertical. Any sloping parts should be contained within the curtain walling kit.
This standard is applicable to the whole of the curtain walling kits, including the fixings.
Curtain walling according to this standard is intended to be used as part of the building envelope.
This European Standard does not include:
—   “Patent glazing” (glazed sloping roofs) kits;
—   Roof glazing constructions;
—   Façades made of precast concrete panels as part of the wall (see EN 14992).
NOTE 1   Precast concrete panels may be used in curtain walling kits as infill panels.
NOTE 2   Durability of structural sealed glazing infills is not covered by this standard.

Vorhangfassaden - Produktnorm

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an Vorhangfassadenbausätze fest, die zur Verwendung als Gebäude¬hülle vorgesehen sind, um Witterungsbeständigkeit, Nutzungssicherheit, Energieeinsparung und Wärmeschutz zu ermöglichen, und enthält Prüf / Bewertungs /Berechnungsverfahren und Konformitäts¬kriterien für die entsprechenden Leistungen.
Eine Vorhangfassade nach dieser Norm verfügt über ihre eigene mechanische Stabilität und Standsicherheit, sie trägt aber nicht zur Lastabtragung oder Stabilität des Hauptbaukörpers bei und kann unabhängig von diesem ersetzt werden.
Diese Norm gilt für Vorhangfassadenbausätze, die von einer vertikalen Konstruktion bis hin zu Konstruktionen mit einer Neigung von bis zu 15° von der Vertikalen reichen. Jegliche geneigten Teile sollten im Vorhangfassadenbausatz eingeschlossen sein.
Diese Norm gilt für den gesamten Vorhangfassadenbausatz einschließlich der Befestigungsmittel.
Vorhangfassaden nach dieser Norm sind zur Verwendung als Teil der Gebäudehülle vorgesehen.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für:
-   Bausätze für Patentverglasungen (Schrägdachverglasungen);
-   Konstruktionen von Dachverglasungen;
-   Fassaden aus Fertigbetonelementen als Teil der Wand (siehe EN 14992).
ANMERKUNG 1   Fertigbetonelemente dürfe in Vorhangfassadenbausätzen als Ausfachungspaneele verwendet werden.
ANMERKUNG 2   Die Dauerhaftigkeit von Ausfachungen aus geklebten Glaskonstruktionen ist nicht Gegenstand dieser Norm

Façades rideaux - Norme de produit

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences applicables au kit de façades-rideaux destiné à être utilisé comme une enveloppe du bâtiment afin de fournir une résistance aux sollicitations climatiques, une sécurité d'utilisation, de l'économie d'énergie et d’isolation thermique et fournit également des méthodes d’essai/d’évaluation/de calcul et des critères de conformité des performances associées.  
Le kit de façade rideau couvert par la présente norme doit contribuer à sa propre intégrité et stabilité, mais sans contribuer à la résistance ou à la stabilité de la structure du bâtiment et pourrait être remplacé de manière indépendante.
La présente norme s’applique au kit de façade rideau variant de la position verticale à une position inclinée de ± 15° par rapport à la verticale. Il convient que toutes pièces inclinées soient contenues dans le kit de façade rideau.
La présente norme s'applique à l'intégralité des kits de façades rideaux, y compris les points d'attache.
Conformément à la présente norme, une façade rideau est conçue pour être utilisée comme une partie de l’enveloppe du bâtiment.
La présente Norme européenne n’inclut pas :
   des kits de systèmes de vitrages auto-drainant à joint secs (toits inclinés vitrés) ;
   des verrières ;
   façades constituées de panneaux en béton préfabriqués faisant partie du mur (voir l'EN 14992).
NOTE 1   Les panneaux de béton préfabriqués peuvent être utilisés dans les kits de façades rideaux comme panneaux de remplissage.
NOTE 2   Durabilité des remplissages de vitrage collés (VEC) ne sont pas couverts par cette norme.

Introduction
This European Standard specifies the technical characteristics of curtain walling kit and includes a
systematic framework of requirements, test methods and compliance criteria to allow the product to
fulfil with it.
Curtain walling kit might not be completed in all respects within a manufacturing area, and some kit
components could be supplied separately on site. Curtain walling kit could be also preassembled in
plant(s) as prefabricated units.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements of curtain walling kit intended to be used as a building
envelope to provide weather resistance, safety in use and energy economy and heat retention and
provides test/assessments/calculation methods and compliance criteria of the related performances.
The curtain walling kit covered by this standard should fulfil its own integrity and mechanical stability
but does not contribute to the load bearing or stability of the main building structure, and could be
replaced independently of it.
This standard applies to curtain walling kit ranging from a vertical position to ± 15° from the vertical.
Any sloping parts should be contained within the curtain walling kit.
This standard is applicable to the whole of the curtain walling kits, including the fixings.
Curtain walling according to this standard is intended to be used as part of the building envelope.
This European Standard does not include:
— “Patent glazing” (glazed sloping roofs) kits;
— Roof glazing constructions;
— Façades made of precast concrete panels as part of the wall (see EN 14992).
NOTE 1 Precast concrete panels may be used in curtain walling kits as infill panels.
NOTE 2 Durability of structural sealed glazing infills is not covered by this standard.
