Curtain walling - Product standard
This European Standard specifies characteristics of curtain walling and provides technical information on the varying performance requirements which apply throughout Europe and the test criteria and sequence of testing to which the product is subjected, in order to demonstrate conformity. Reference is made to other European Standards related to the performance and testing of curtain walling and, where appropriate, attention is drawn to European Standards which relate to products incorporated into curtain walling.
This standard applies to curtain walling ranging from a vertical position to 15° from the vertical, onto the building face. It can include elements of sloping glazing contained within the curtain wall.
Curtain walling is not a product which can be completed in all respects within a manufacturing area, but is a series of components and/or prefabricated units which only become a finished product when assembled together on site.
This standard is applicable to the whole of the curtain walling, including the flashings, closures and copings.
Vorhangfassaden - Produktnorm
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Eigenschaften des Vorhangfassadenproduktes fest und bestimmt die technischen Daten der in Europa gültigen unterschiedlichen Leistungsanforderungen sowie Prüfkriterien und -abläufe, denen das Produkt unterworfen ist, um die Übereinstimmung darzulegen. Sie legt langfristig die Erhaltung der wesentlichen Eigenschaften fest. Bezüglich der Ausführung und Prüfung der Vorhangfassade wird auf andere Europäischen Normen verwiesen, und falls zutreffend, auf Europäische Normen, die mit den in Vorhangfassaden eingebauten Produkten in Beziehung stehen.
Façades rideaux - Norme de produit
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les caractéristiques des façades rideaux et donne des informations techniques sur les différentes exigences de performances applicables a l'ensemble de l'Europe, ainsi que sur les criteres d'essai et la séquence d'essai auxquels le produit est soumis afin de démontrer sa conformité. Elle fait référence a d'autres normes européennes relatives aux performances et aux essais des façades rideaux et, le cas échéant, attire l'attention sur les normes européennes traitant des produits incorporés dans la façade rideau.
La présente norme s'applique a des façades rideaux variant de la position verticale a une position inclinée de 15° par rapport a la verticale une fois posée sur le bâtiment. Elle peut inclure des éléments de vitrage inclinés incorporés a l'intérieur de la façade rideau.
Une façade rideau n'est pas un produit qui peut etre fini sous tous ses aspects au sein d'une unité de fabrication, mais il s'agit d'une série de composants et/ou de sous-ensembles préfabriqués qui ne forment un produit fini qu'une fois assemblés sur le site.
La présente norme s'applique a l'intégralité de la façade rideau, y compris les bavettes, les couvre-joints et les couvertines.

It shall transfer the declared wind loads to thebuilding’s structure, safely, via the fixings intended for that purpose. The declared wind load results from testing inaccordance with EN 12179.Under the declared wind loads the maximum frontal deflection of the curtain walling’s framing members shall notexceed L/200, or 15 mm, whichever is the less, when measured between the points of support or anchorage to thebuilding’s structure, in compliance with EN 13116.NOTE 1
The design wind loads likely to act upon the curtain walling should be calculated in accordance with technicalspecifications or other provisions valid in the place of use.NOTE 2
The stiffness of the curtain walling should be determined by calculation. When calculating the rigidity of the curtainwalling no account should be taken of the potential stiffening effect of the glass.NOTE 3
The engineering stresses induced into framing components and structural brackets shall be no greater than thosespecified within the appropriate materials standard from which the components and brackets are made.4.2 Dead load (Self-weight)The curtain walling shall sustain its self-weight plus any attachments incorporated into it by original design. It shalltransfer the weight to the building structure, safely, via the fixings intended for that purpose.Self-weights shall be determined in accordance with EN 1991-1-1.The maximum deflection of any main horizontal framing from vertical loads shall not exceed L/500 or 3 mm,whichever is the less.4.3 Resistance against impactWhere specifically required tests shall be performed in accordance with EN 12600:2002, clause 5.

The components, materials and finishes from which the curtain walling is fabricated should be maintained due to naturalageing.The manufacturer shall issue recommendations on the maintenance requirements for the completed curtain walling.(refer to annex B informative).4.12 Water vapour permeabilityVapour control layers which conform to the appropriate European Standard shall
take into account the specifiedhydro-thermal conditions of the building.4.13 EquipotentialityWhere specifically required the metal component parts of the curtain walling shall be mechanically connectedtogether with the building structure to provide an equipotential bond to the earth circuit of the building. This is arequirement for all metal based curtain walling installed into buildings with a height greater than 25 m. The electricalA(normative).4.14 Seismic shock resistanceWhere specifically required, seismic shock resistance shall be determined in accordance with technicalspecifications or other provisions valid in the place of use.
EN 13830: 2003 (E)84.15 Thermal shock resistanceWhere it is determined that a glass resistant to thermal shock is required, a suitable strengthened or toughenedglass shall be chosen which conforms to the appropriate European Standard(s).4.16 Building and thermal movementThe design of curtain walling shall accommodate thermal and specified building movements without inducingdamage to the components or performance. The specifier shall specify the building movements which the curtainwalling will be required to accommodate, including movements at joints within the structure.4.17 Resistance to live horizontal loadsThe curtain wall shall resist a horizontal live load at sill height as specified in EN 1991-1-1.NOTE
The height (sill height) at which the load is applied, will vary according to National Regulations.5 Evaluation of conformity5.1 GeneralThe compliance of a curtain wall with the requirements of this standard and with the classes and/or declared valuesshall be demonstrated by: Initial Type Testing Factory production control by the manufacturer5.2 Testing and calculation5.2.1 GeneralInitial and, if requested, further type testing and/or calculation shall be carried out in accordance with clause 4. Theresults shall be expressed as stated in clause 6. The decision related to the necessity for further type testing, e.g. incase of product changes, is the responsibility of the manufacturer.Further tests and/or calculations, e.g. as part of the factory production control, may be carried out in accordancewith clause 4 or any suitable part of the relevant test standards. The results may be expressed as stated in clause6.Providing the curtain wall’s essential design characteristics are retained, further testing may not be necessary whenminor modifications are instituted, e.g. design and joint principle is unchanged.Retesting of components already tested in accordance with European Standard is not necessary.5.2.2 Initial Type TestingDepending on the intended applications of the curtain wall, the characteristics in clause 4 shall be subject to initialtype testing.NOTE
Initial type testing comprises testing, calculation and assessment.5.2.3 Sequence of testingWeather resistance tests are interdependent on each other. The following groups of tests carried out in sequenceshall be considered as a single weather test. All tests shall be carried out strictly in sequence, as follows:
