Windows, doors, shutters and curtain walling - Explosion resistance - Requirements and classification - Part 2: Arena test

This document specifies the criteria, which windows, doors, shutters as well as curtain walling elements need to satisfy to achieve a classification when submitted to the test method described in prEN 13124-2:2023.
This document concerns a method of test against blast waves produced by high explosives in an arena test. This document considers free-field high explosive events equivalent to:
-   3 kg to 20 kg (TNT equivalent) at distances from 3 m to 9 m, described by the fixed classification levels PXR 1 to PXR 7;
-   100 kg to 500 kg (TNT equivalent) at distances from about 15 m to 30 m, described by the fixed classification levels VXR 1 to VXR 7.
It produces a classification according to prEN 13124 2:2023. Indicative charge sizes and stand-off distances producing these loading levels are shown in Annex B.
Blast loadings characterised by user specified blast parameters for other high explosive scenarios can also be specified.
Blast loads which cannot be produced in an arena test might be produced by a shock tube test following prEN 13123-1:2022 and prEN 13124-1:2022.
This document is applicable to blast waves generated by explosives in an arena test facility to produce high explosive blast loads on windows, doors and shutters as well as curtain walling systems, complete with their frames, infills and fixings, for use in both internal and external locations in buildings. It gives no information on the explosion resistance capacity of the wall or other surrounding structure.

Fenster, Türen, Abschlüsse und Vorhangfassaden - Sprengwirkungshemmung - Anforderungen und Klassifizierung - Teil 2: Freilandversuch

Dieses Dokument legt die Kriterien fest, die Fenster, Türen, Abschlüsse sowie Vorhangfassadenelemente erfüllen müssen, um eine Klassifizierung zu erreichen, wenn diese nach dem in prEN 13124-2:2023 beschriebenen Prüfverfahren geprüft werden.
Dieses Dokument befasst sich mit einem Prüfverfahren gegen mit hochexplosiven Sprengmitteln in einem Freilandversuch erzeugte Druckwellen. Dieses Dokument befasst sich mit hochexplosiven Ereignissen im Freifeld mit einem TNT Äquivalent von:
-   3 kg bis 20 kg in einem Abstand von 3 m bis 9 m, beschrieben durch die festen Klassifizierungsstufen PXR 1 bis PXR 7;
-   100 kg bis 500 kg in einem Abstand von etwa 15 m bis 30 m, beschrieben durch die festen Klassifizierungsstufen VXR 1 bis VXR 7.
Es erstellt eine Klassifizierung nach prEN 13124-2:2023. Anhaltspunkte für die Größe der Sprengladungen und die Abstände zwischen den Sprengladungen, die zu diesen Belastungswerten führen, sind in Anhang B aufgeführt.
Auch für andere hochexplosive Szenarien können Sprengladungen mit benutzerdefinierten Detonations-parametern angegeben werden.
Detonationsbelastungen, die nicht in einem Freilandversuch erzeugt werden können, könnten durch eine Stoßrohrprüfung nach prEN 13123-1:2022 und prEN 13124-1:2022 erzeugt werden.
Dieses Dokument kann für Detonationswellen angewendet werden, die durch Explosionen in einer Freiland¬versuchsanlage erzeugt werden, um die Auswirkungen von hohen Explosionsbelastungen auf Fenster, Türen, Abschlüsse und Vorhangfassadensysteme, einschließlich deren Rahmen, Füllungen und Befestigungen für den Einbau im Innenbereich und Außenbereich von Gebäuden nachzuahmen. Es gibt keinen Aufschluss über die Sprengwirkungshemmung der umgebenden Wand oder sonstigen Gebäudekonstruktion.

Fenêtres, portes, fermetures et façades rideaux - Résistance à l'explosion - Exigences et classification - Partie 2 : Essai en arène

Le présent document spécifie les critères auxquels doivent satisfaire les fenêtres, les portes, les fermetures ainsi que les éléments de façades rideaux pour pouvoir obtenir une classification, lorsqu'ils sont soumis à la méthode d'essai décrite dans la prEN 13124-2:2023.
Le présent document concerne une méthode d'essai de résistance aux ondes de choc produites par des explosifs puissants dans un essai en arène. Le présent document prend en compte des événements de forte explosion en champ libre, de l'ordre de :
-   3 kg à 20 kg (équivalent TNT) à des distances de 3 m à 9 m, décrites par les niveaux de classification fixes PXR 1 à PXR 7 ;
-   100 kg à 500 kg (équivalent TNT) à des distances d'environ 15 m à 30 m, décrites par les niveaux de classification fixes VXR 1 à VXR 7.
Cette méthode permet d'obtenir une classification selon la norme prEN 13124-2:2023. Les masses indicatives des charges explosives et les distances d'explosion correspondant à ces classifications sont indiquées à l'Annexe B.
Des ondes de choc caractérisées par les paramètres de souffle spécifiés par l'utilisateur pour d'autres scénarios de forte explosion peuvent également être spécifiées.
Les ondes de choc qui ne peuvent pas être produites lors d'un essai en arène peuvent être produites par un essai de tube à effet de souffle (shock tube) conformément aux normes prEN 13123-1:2022 et prEN 13124-1:2022.
Le présent document s'applique aux ondes de choc générées par des explosifs dans une installation d'essai en arène, pour produire des ondes de choc sur des fenêtres, des portes, des fermetures, ainsi que sur des systèmes de façades rideaux, y compris sur leurs dormants, leurs remplissages et leurs fixations, à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur des bâtiments. Il ne donne aucune information quant à la capacité de résistance à l'explosion du mur ou de la structure environnante.

1 Scope
This document specifies the criteria, which windows, doors, shutters as well as curtain walling elements
need to satisfy to achieve a classification when submitted to the test method described in
prEN 13124-2:2023.
This document concerns a method of test against blast waves produced by high explosives in an arena
test. This document considers free-field high explosive events equivalent to:
— 3 kg to 20 kg (TNT equivalent) at distances from 3 m to 9 m, described by the fixed classification
levels PXR 1 to PXR 7;
— 100 kg to 500 kg (TNT equivalent) at distances from about 15 m to 30 m, described by the fixed
classification levels VXR 1 to VXR 7.
It produces a classification according to prEN 13124-2:2023. Indicative charge sizes and stand-off
distances producing these loading levels are shown in Annex B.
Blast loadings characterised by user specified blast parameters for other high explosive scenarios can
also be specified.
Blast loads which cannot be produced in an arena test might be produced by a shock tube test following
prEN 13123-1:2022 and prEN 13124-1:2022.
This document is applicable to blast waves generated by explosives in an arena test facility to produce
high explosive blast loads on windows, doors and shutters as well as curtain walling systems, complete
with their frames, infills and fixings, for use in both internal and external locations in buildings. It gives
no information on the explosion resistance capacity of the wall or other surrounding structure.

4 Requirements
Resistance to damage and pressure shall be classified in accordance with Clause 5. This issue of the test
standard provides the possibility to do tests either:
a) for fixed classification levels (PXR and VXR classes); or
4

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 13123-2:2023
prEN 13123-2:2023 (E)
b) for user defined loading levels with specified parameters for peak positive reflected pressure and
peak positive reflected specific impulse.
To achieve a particular class of explosion resistance, the test specimen shall
c) be subjected to not less than the corresponding test level of each of peak positive reflected pressure,
peak positive reflected specific impulse specified in Clause 5, Table 1, Table 2 and Figure 1;
d) achieve a hazard class as specified in prEN 13124-2:2023, 8.2.
It is not a requirement of the test that performance in other respects such as air permeability, water
tightness, wind resistance etc. be maintained.
If the intended application of the window, door, shutter and curtain walling is such that it will be
specifically subjected to climatic extremes, the test specimen shall be tested at these climatic extremes.
Requirements for the performance of opening and locking mechanisms or for testing in an open condition
may also be assessed.
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, shutter and curtain walling.
5 Classification of the level of explosion pressure resistance (PXR and VXR)
The classification of a test specimen is permitted for both:
a) predefined classification levels (PXR 1 to PXR 7 and VXR 1 to VXR 7) with respect to peak positive
reflected pressure and peak positive reflected specific impulse (Table 1 and Table 2). When
