Windows, doors and shutters - Explosion resistance - Test method - Part 2: Range test

This European Standard specifies a test procedure to permit classification of the explosion resistance of windows, doors and shutters together with their infills.
This European Standard concerns a test method against blast waves in open air resulting from high explosives that can be carried by hand and placed a few metres from a target. At such close distances blast values vary across an attack face. Controlled measurement of the actual blast on the face of the test specimen being difficult, costly and subject to inaccuracy, consistency of the blast forces is therefore controlled in this European Standard by the characteristics of the explosive charge and its location (see annex A and annex B).
This European Standard covers only the behaviour of the complete unit including infill, frame and fixings as tested. It gives no information on the ability of the surrounding wall or building structure to resist the direct or transmitted forces.
If the windows, doors and shutters are intended for specific conditions of climate, specific test conditions can be required.
This European Standard gives no information on the behaviour of the units subjected to other types of loading.

Fenster, Türen und Abschlüsse - Sprengwirkungshemmung - Prüfverfahren - Teil 2: Freilandversuch

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren für die Klassifizierung von sprengwirkungshemmenden Fenstern, Türen und Abschlüssen einschließlich deren Füllungen fest.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt ein Prüfverfahren gegen Druckwellen im Freien, die von hochexplosiven Sprengmitteln, die von Hand getragen werden können und wenige Meter von dem Ziel abgelegt werden, erzeugt werden. Bei solchen kleinen Abständen schwanken die Druckwerte über einer Angriffsfläche. Die kontrollierte Messung der tatsächlichen Druckwellen auf der Fläche des Prüfkörpers ist schwierig, kostenaufwändig und ungenau, die Gleichmäßigkeit der Druckkräfte wird in dieser Europäischen Norm durch die Kenngrößen der Sprengladung und deren Anordnung geregelt (siehe Anhänge A und B).
Diese Europäische Norm betrifft nur das Verhalten der Gesamtkonstruktion, einschließlich deren Füllung, Rahmen und Befestigungen, entsprechend der Prüfung. Diese Norm gibt keinen Aufschluss über die Möglichkeiten der umgebenden Wand oder Gebäudekonstruktion, den direkten oder übertragenen Kräften standzuhalten.
Wenn die Fenster, Türen und Abschlüsse zum Einsatz unter besonderen klimatischen Bedingungen vorgesehen sind, können besondere Prüfbedingungen erforderlich sein.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält keine Angaben über das Verhalten der Konstruktion, wenn diese anderen Belastungen ausgesetzt sind.

Portes, fenetres et fermetures - Résistance a l'explosion -Méthode d'essai - Partie 2: Essai en plein air

La présente norme européenne prescrit un mode opératoire d'essai permettant le classement de la résistance a l'explosion des fenetres, portes, fermetures et de leurs remplissages.
Elle traite d'une méthode d'essai de résistance aux ondes de choc produites a l'air libre par des explosifs puissants, qui peuvent etre transportés manuellement et placés a quelques metres d'une cible. Lorsque la distance est aussi faible, les valeurs de l'onde different selon les endroits de la surface attaquée. La mesure des parametres de l'onde de choc sur la face considérée du corps d'épreuve est une opération difficile et couteuse et qui comporte en outre des risques d'inexactitude ; par conséquent, dans la présente norme, la valeur des efforts de l'onde de choc est fonction des caractéristiques de la charge explosive et de son emplacement (voir Annexes A et B).
La présente norme européenne traite seulement du comportement de l'unité complete soumise a l'essai y compris remplissage, châssis et fixations. Elle ne donne aucune information sur la capacité du mur adjacent ou de la structure du bâtiment a résister aux forces appliquées directement ou transmises.
Si les portes, fenetres et fermetures sont destinées a des conditions climatiques particulieres, il peut etre nécessaire de recourir a des conditions d'essai particulieres.
La présente norme européenne ne donne aucune information sur le comportement des unités soumises a d'autres types de charges.
