pivotant destinées à être utilisées sur les fenêtres et les portes-fenêtres.
Les poignées peuvent également être utilisées sur d'autres types d'ouverture, par exemple sur des fenêtres
coulissantes, oscillo-coulissantes, coulissantes accordéon, basculantes et pivotantes.
La présente Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux ferrures suivantes :
a) les organes de manoeuvre et les poignées de porte pour serrures de portes à pêne dormant ou à pêne
demi-tour ;  se reporter à l'EN 1906 ;
b) les poignées d'une longueur > 170 mm (se reporter à la Figure B.1) ;
c) les dispositifs électromécaniques.

Stavbno okovje - Okovje za okna in zastekljena vrata - Zahteve in preskusne metode - 3. del: Ročaji, namenjeni predvsem za vrtljivo-nagibno, nagibno-vrtljivo in vrtljivo okovje

Ta del EN 13126 določa zahteve in preskusne procedure za trajnost, trdnost, varnost in funkcionalnost ročajev. Ta evropski standard velja za vrtljivo-nagibna, nagibno-vrtljiva in vrtljiva okovja za uporabo pri oknih in zastekljenih vratih. Ročaji so prav tako lahko uporabljeni za druge tipe odpiranja, npr. drsna, nagibno-drsna, zložljivo-drsna, horizontalno in vertikalno vrtljiva okna. Ta evropski standard ne velja za naslednje okovje: a) delovne naprave in vratne ročaje za vratne ključavnice (glej EN 1906); b) ročaje z dolžino ročaja > 170 mm (glej sliko B.1); c) elektromehansko okovje.

This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede CEN/TS 13126-3:2004.

A full contribution to the preparation of this European Standard has been made by the European
manufacturers´ organization ‘ARGE’ and national standards bodies.

This European Standard is one of a series of European Standards for building hardware products. It is
divided into several parts incorporating all types of hardware for windows and balcony doors.

The performance tests incorporated in this standard are considered to be reproducible and as such will
provide a consistent and objective assessment of the performance of these products throughout CEN
Member States.

1 Scope
This part of EN 13126 specifies the requirements and test procedures for durability, strength, security and
functionality of handles.
This European Standard is applicable to Tilt&Turn, Tilt-First and Turn-Only hardware for use on windows and
door-height windows.
Handles may also be used on other opening types, e.g. on In-line Sliding, Tilt&Slide, Fold&Slide, horizontal
and vertical-pivoting windows.
This European Standard is not applicable to the following hardware:
a) Operation devices and door handles for door latches and door locks; → refer to EN 1906
b) Handles with handle length > 170 mm (refer to figure B.1)
c) Electromechanical hardware.
