Windows, doors and shutters - Explosion resistance - Test method - Part 1: Shock tube

This European Standard specifies a conventional test procedure to permit classification of the explosion resistance of windows, doors and shutter together with their infills.
This European Standard concerns a method of test against blast waves generated by using a shock tube facility to simulate a high explosive detonation in the order of 100 kg to 2 500 kg TNT at distances from about 35 m to 50 m .
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 may be required.
It gives no information on the behaviour of the units subjected to other types of loading.
NOTE   Care should be taken to ensure that all joints between the wall and the window or door have protection which is at least equal to that of the window or door.

Fenster, Türen und Abschlüsse - Sprengwirkungshemmung - Prüfverfahren - Teil 1: Stoßrohr

Anwendungsbereich
Diese Europäische Norm legt das Prüfverfahren zur Klassifizierung von sprengwirkungshemmenden
Fenstern, Türen und Abschlüssen einschließlich deren Füllungen fest.
Diese Europäische Norm beinhaltet ein Prüfverfahren gegen mit einem Stoßrohr erzeugte Druckwellen,
mit denen eine Detonation in der Größenordnung von 100 kg bis 2 500 kg TNT in Abständen von 35 m bis
50 m nachgeahmt wird.
Diese Europäische Norm betrifft nur das Verhalten der Gesamtkonstruktion einschließlich deren Füllung,
Rahmen und Befestigung, entsprechend der Prüfung. Sie gibt keinen Aufschluss über die Möglichkeiten
der umgebenden Wand oder Gebäudekonstruktion, den direkten oder übertragenen Kräfte standzuhalten.
Falls die Fenster, Türen und Abschlüsse zum Einsatz unter besonderen klimatischen Bedingungen vor-
gesehen sind, können besondere Prüfbedingungen erforderlich sein.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält keine Angaben über das Verhalten der Konstruktion, wenn diese ande-
ren Belastungen ausgesetzt wird.
ANMERKUNG Es sollte jedoch Wert darauf gelegt werden, dass der Wandanschluss mindestens dieselbe Wider-
standsklasse wie das Fenster oder die Tür hat.

Fenetres, portes et fermetures - Résistance a l'explosion - Méthode d'essai - Partie 1: Tube a effet de souffle (shock tube)

La présente Norme européenne définit un mode opératoire d'essai conventionnel permettant la classification de la résistance a l'explosion des fenetres, portes et fermetures, avec leurs remplissages.
Cette norme traite d'une méthode d'essai contre les ondes de souffles générées par l'utilisation d'un tube a effet de souffle (shock tube) simulant une forte détonation d'explosion, de l'ordre de 100 kg a 2 500 kg de TNT, a des distances d'environ 35 m a 50 m.
Cette norme européenne couvre uniquement le comportement de l'ensemble complet comprenant le remplissage, le dormant et les fixations tels que soumis a l'essai. Elle ne donne aucune information quant a la capacité du mur environnant ou de la structure du bâtiment a résister aux forces directes ou transmises.
Si les fenetres sont destinées a etre utilisées dans des conditions climatiques particulieres, des conditions d'essai spécifiques peuvent etre requises.
Cette norme ne donne aucune information sur le comportement de l'ensemble s'il est soumis a d'autres types de charges.
NOTE   Il convient de prendre les précautions nécessaires pour s'assurer que tous les joints situés entre le mur et la fenetre ou la porte disposent d'une protection au moins égale a celle de la fenetre ou de la porte.
